Halls and capacity
Mezz has three rooms, and each has its own capacity and atmosphere.
The Main / Grote Zaal is the largest room, with 600 standing places and 200 seats. It has a balcony with good sightlines. The Club / Kleine Zaal holds 150 standing or 60 seated, is level, has a fixed bar and uses a modular stage assembled from stage parts rather than a fixed podium. The Bar / Popcafé holds 100 standing or 60 seated.
For comparison, Chassé Theater next door seats 1,430 in its Grote zaal, and Paradiso in Amsterdam holds 1,500 in its main hall. Mezz's main room is smaller, which suits the venue's mix of club shows and intimate concerts.
Capacity depends on the layout: a standing concert leaves the floor free, while a seated show uses chairs. The event page says which layout applies.

The Main / Grote Zaal consists of stairs, but the top step can be reached by wheelchair. The Club / Kleine Zaal is level and has no fixed stage. Staff can discuss the best place for you.
Contact at least 24 hours ahead by email at [email protected] or by phone on 076 515 66 77, on weekdays during office hours. The team can sometimes arrange earlier entry with a companion so you can choose a place, but options are limited.
Concerts are standing unless stated otherwise. If you cannot stand for long, ask about a stool at least 24 hours ahead; availability is limited.
Bar, payment and lockers
Mezz is a music venue with a bar: the Bar serves coffee, beer and wine, and payment is card-only.
The Bar / Popcafé at the back of the building serves coffee, beer, wine and soft drinks before, during and after shows. The contact page lists drinks, not meals, so plan dinner elsewhere.

What's on at Mezz
A pop venue with three rooms and a programme that runs from live bands to club nights.
Mezz programmes live pop music and dance in the centre of Breda. The agenda mixes rock and pop bands, hip-hop, electronic acts, club nights, quizzes and community nights, so the audience changes from one night to the next.
The Main / Grote Zaal is the big concert room. The Club / Kleine Zaal is the intimate room for new talent and club nights, and the Bar / Popcafé is the café at the back where you can sit before or after a show.
Mezz is open only during events. Check the online agenda for the current programme, then open the event page for doors, start time, price and any age limit. Tickets are sold at mezz.nl.
The building and its history
A round pop venue beside Chassé Theater, in a building designed by Erick van Egeraat.
Mezz is the successor to Para, Breda's former pop venue. The new hall was designed by Erick van Egeraat associated architects and stands behind Chassé Park and beside Chassé Theater. The round building is known locally as 'de (koperen) pinda' — the copper peanut.
Mezz programmes pop music in every conceivable style. The building stands out for its modern round form, and a modern sculpture stands in front of it.
The rebuild into MEZZ Club
The Kleine Zaal was rebuilt in 2026 as a flexible club room.
The Kleine Zaal was in intensive use for 25 years and hosted more than 1,000 events. In 2026 Mezz rebuilt it as MEZZ Club, with better sound insulation, a new PA and sound desk, new lighting and a modular stage instead of a fixed podium.
The capacity was expanded and the layout improved, with more space and better sightlines. Removing the old kitchen behind the hall let the bar move two metres back, making the room larger. The current rental page lists 150 standing and 60 seated for the Club.
