De Oosterpoort is a prominent concert hall in Groningen, originally built in 1984. It serves as a significant cultural hub for the city and the northern Netherlands region, hosting a diverse program encompassing jazz, world music, classical concerts, theatre, and dance. The venue is notable for its adaptable spaces; it includes a main hall with excellent acoustics designed for larger performances alongside smaller more intimate spaces suitable for chamber music or alternative events. De Oosterpoort underwent renovations in 2017 to enhance its facilities and accessibility while preserving its architectural character. It is managed by the organization Stadsschouwburg Groningen.
