To visit one of our events at Paradiso, you need to buy a membership. As a not-for-profit organisation with a wide cultural programme that offers something for all tastes, your membership supports our programmes, our mission and our overall financial health. To this end, Paradiso also receives an annual grant from the Municipality of Amsterdam, covering about 5% of our annual budget.
If an event isn’t sold out, limited tickets may be available at the door. We recommend purchasing in advance to secure your spot.
You will receive a stamp or wristband at the event. This allows you to re-enter Paradiso (or Skatecafe) during the event.
Tickets are available through our official website and Paradiso’s ticket platform . Avoid third-party resellers to ensure your ticket is valid.
This depends on the event. Each event starts at a different time. Check our website or paradiso.nl for the most up to date times and information.
To Paradiso's right, at Leidseplein Square, you can find the free underground bicycle parking, open and monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
There are lockers available at Paradiso and Skatecafe. Keeping your belongings is always at your own risk; the management of Paradiso or the location in question is not liable for any loss, theft or damage.
Professional cameras or recording equipment are not allowed without prior approval. Do you want to bring your professional camera? Contact us at publiciteit@paradiso.nl
Phone photography is fine, but please be respectful of performers and the audience.
Super-Sonic Jam is an open jam session hosted by Super-Sonic Jazz, where musicians, vocalists, producers, and music lovers come together to play, experiment, and connect. It’s all about spontaneity, creativity, and community.
Absolutely! Just keep in mind that each jam follows a set structure. Every edition features a different house band or collective hosting the session. They kick things off, and the host will announce when the jam is open for everyone to join. Make sure to connect with the host on the night to get involved.
No sign-up is required. You can simply show up and speak to the host when you arrive, or make eye contact with the host or band once the jam has already started. Depending on how busy it is, there may be a list — or everything flows more spontaneously.
Expect the Super-Sonic signature blend: jazz-influenced sounds with touches of soul, hip-hop, broken beat, electronic influences, and pure improvisation. Every session evolves according to the musicians present.
Core backline (drums, keys, bass amp) is usually provided, but we always encourage musicians to bring their own instruments when possible.
Yes! The jams are just as exciting for non-musicians who want to experience what happens when talented improvisers create something new together.
Super-Sonic Jam usually takes place at Skatecafe or Paradiso, but occasionally pops up at other venues and creative spaces that fit the Super-Sonic Jazz community. Check our agenda for the latest dates and locations.
We’re always open to new hosts and collaborations. Feel free to reach out via our contact form or email us so we can explore the possibilities together.
Occasionally we bring limited merch to special editions. The full range is always available in our online shop.
Super-Sonic Jazz Festival 2026 takes place on the weekend of 20 to 22 November.
Yes, we offer both single day tickets and full festival passes. Currently, we only sell the early bird ticket for the whole weekend at a discounted price of €50. You can buy them here .
The festival takes place at Paradiso in Amsterdam. Paradiso is on the Weteringschans 6-8 in Amsterdam. That is very close to Leidseplein. From every part of the city there are trams heading towards Leidseplein. From there on out you can walk to Paradiso. Free and secured underground bike parking is available on the opposite side of Paradiso. Travelling by car is difficult, since there are only a few busy parking lots nearby.
