Finding what's on in Rotterdam when you don't read Dutch

The events worth going to in Rotterdam are mostly not on the pages that rank for "things to do in Rotterdam". They're on Dutch-language listings sites, promoter pages and mailing lists that were never written for visitors — which is why a week here can end up looking like everyone else's week here.

Palaner reads those sources directly, deduplicates the same night listed in four places, and shows you the result in English. Right now that's 384 events happening in Rotterdam.

Every pick comes with the reason it was picked — the taste it matched, the real price, and how far it is. You can tell it when it's wrong, and the next list is different.

Questions about events in Rotterdam

What is there to do in Rotterdam this week?
Palaner is showing 384 events on in Rotterdam right now, pulled from every listings site, ticket seller and promoter newsletter we can reach for Netherlands. The list is ranked, not alphabetical: tell Palaner what you like and the order changes.
Is this a list of the usual tourist attractions?
No. Palaner only shows things that are actually happening on a date — gigs, club nights, markets, talks, socials, screenings, food events. Permanent attractions don't appear, because they aren't events.
Does it work if I don't speak Dutch?
Yes, and that is most of the point. A lot of what is on in Rotterdam is only ever posted in Dutch — on local listings sites, promoter pages and mailing lists that don't have an English version. Palaner reads those sources and shows you the results in English.
I'm only in Rotterdam for a few days. Is that useful?
That's the case it's built for. Say how long you're around and what you're into, and Palaner narrows 384 events down to the handful worth your evenings — with the reason it picked each one, so you can disagree with it.
Does Palaner cost anything?
No. It's free in any browser, and it isn't a ticket seller — it links out to wherever the event is actually sold.
