Quite close to Bed and Breakfast Tilburg Gust van Dijk in the heart of Tilburg, you will find music venue 013: the largest pop stage in the south of the Netherlands with three concert halls that can accommodate a total of 2,700 visitors. Popcentrum-013 can rightly be called a unique music temple because in addition to live concerts there are also dance and club nights, non-pop programs, international festivals such as for example Roadburn and activities aimed at beginning musicians. In addition to the three concert halls, the building also houses a recording studio and six rehearsal rooms.
The largest concert hall of 013 is the Dommelschzaal, with a capacity of 2,200 visitors the largest hall in the Dutch club circuit. Thanks to the ascending stairs and the U-shaped balcony, there is a good view of the large stage throughout the hall. As a result, we at Gust van Dijk believe that, despite the large capacity, the hall will always remain intimate.
The 013 building, which is specially designed as a pop-music stage by Benthem Crouwel architectural firm, can also rightly be called unique. The special and characteristic exterior of the building immediately catches the eye. The facades are covered with a black quilted bedspread and the CDs that are attached to the facade express the character of the building in a functional and playful way. If you have chosen your stay at Bed and Breakfast Gust van Dijk and you walk to the centre, you will automatically pass 013 and you see by yourself how the building makes its appearance.
Poppodium 013 provides each year a diverse program, which will appeal to lovers of different types of music. Since its opening in 1998, international artists have performed in 013 as Robbie Williams, Nine Inch Nails, Muse, Alice Cooper, The Roots, Tool, Blondie, Damien Rice, Kraftwerk, Editors, Interpol, Armin van Buuren, Pablo Francisco, Ice Cube, Lucky Dube, Chuck Berry, and many others. 013 organizes approximately 400 activities a year with a total number of visitors of more than 230,000.
