Madam is a renowned nightclub and lounge located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, best known for its unique position atop the A’DAM Tower in the northern part of the city. Madame is celebrated not only for its vibrant party atmosphere but also for its panoramic, 360-degree views of Amsterdam, making it a sought-after destination for locals and tourists alike. The venue originally opened its doors as part of the wider redevelopment of the A’DAM Tower in the mid-2010s, which transformed the historic Shell building into an epicenter of entertainment, music, and creative industries.

Since its inception, Madam has earned a reputation as both a glamorous nightlife spot and a hub for electronic dance music, blending a chic sky-bar ambiance with the energy of a dynamic dance club. Over the years, it has found cultural significance within Amsterdam’s nightlife scene as a place where underground sounds meet breathtaking cityscapes, attracting a stylish, musically-savvy crowd. While Madam has remained in its iconic location atop the tower, the space itself has undergone interior redesigns to keep the club visually cutting-edge and enhance its clubbing technology, including state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems.

The venue is particularly well-regarded for its programming, hosting a mix of local Dutch talent and international DJs across a spectrum of electronic genres, from house and techno to disco and R&B. Madam also often collaborates with leading Amsterdam festival brands and has hosted themed nights, launch events, and after-parties, further establishing its place as a cultural fixture within the city’s ever-evolving nightlife landscape. Notable artists who have performed at Madam include Dutch electronic and house music mainstays such as Benny Rodrigues, Sandrien, Luuk van Dijk, and JP Enfant, alongside international guests like Claptone, Charlotte de Witte, and Kerri Chandler.

The venue has also welcomed rising stars from the local scene, including Tom Trago, Job Jobse, and Nuno dos Santos, further solidifying its reputation as a launchpad for both emerging and established DJ talent.
