This venue at the Veilinghallen Op Hoop Van Zegan in Blokker, Netherlands on Saturday, 6th June 1964 was part of the Beatles first World Tour, having arrived the previous day from Copenhagen. An unusual venue in that this concert was held at an auction hall in Blokker, Blokker being some 25 miles north of Amsterdam.
Two shows were held with a matinee at 2.30pm and a 8pm evening performance. The matinee was poorly attended, with less than 1/3 of the 7000 seats being bought up, while the evening show was a sell out. Both Beatles performances were preceeded by 8 other acts. These are listed below in appearance order. The Beatles appeared at 4.30pm and 10.05pm during the respective shows with both sets lasting just over 25 minutes.
