Google (mildly amusing) translation (sounds like a one off surprise gig, like the Troubadour):

It just says that P will do a surprise show tonight, Tickets will be on sale from 11pm and that it should cost around 70 Euros. People are reportes to be queing around the venue already.

Melkweg is a club and I envy the lovely people of Amsterdam a little. But if any cities in Europe dserve club-gigs by P, it's either Amsterdam or Paris. Both very welcoming cities for any kinf of being.

Going to see P in Cologne on Thursday with great anticipation, after having witnessed the overwhelming second night in Rotterdam.

Amsterdammies: enjoy!!

I also saw the NSJ concerts and am going to be in Cologne!! I take it you do not expect a club gig there? I can't see it happen either, but it would be so great!!! *sigh*

The Dutch are getting spoiled by Prince! 4 regular concerts, and now two club gigs!!!!! I envy everyone who can be there, but by all means - enjoy!!!!!
