Davina Michelle: Afterparty Tour 2026
Davina Michelle brings her Afterparty Tour 2026 to the main hall of the Effenaar, with a show on Thursday 3 December 2026 and an extra show the evening before, on Wednesday 2 December. Both shows are sold out, which says a lot about her popularity.
Who is Davina Michelle?
Davina Michelle is one of the most successful Dutch pop artists of her generation. Her breakthrough came in 2017 with a cover of P!nk's What About Us, which she posted online and which went viral. Since then her career has moved fast: she has performed at Rotterdam Ahoy and at Pinkpop, the biggest pop festival in the Netherlands, and she has opened for international stars such as Robbie Williams, P!nk and Maroon 5.
She also worked with trance DJ Armin van Buuren on the song Hold On, and she performed in the interval act of the Eurovision Song Contest. Her cover of Duurt Te Lang, originally by Glen Faria, set a record in the Dutch Top 40. In other words: a singer with a powerful voice, a big stage presence and a lot of hits.
The Afterparty Tour
On the Afterparty Tour, Davina Michelle plays club venues such as the Effenaar, which means fans get to see an arena-level singer in a hall of about 1,300 people. Expect a mix of her English-language hits, Dutch songs and the energetic pop she is known for.

Looking for a ticket?
The Effenaar advises fans to keep an eye on its official resale platform, where ticket holders who can't go can offer their tickets. Avoid tickets offered on social media or unofficial resale websites: they may be fake or overpriced, and they can be refused at the door.
Tips for ticket holders
- Arrive early if you want to be close to the stage; sold-out pop shows fill up quickly.
- Use the cloakroom. It gets warm in a full main hall.
- Have dinner first. The Effenaar's restaurant takes reservations, but book in advance on sold-out nights.
- Plan your way home. Both shows are on weekday evenings; check your train or bus in advance.
For internationals
Davina Michelle sings mostly in English, with some songs in Dutch. If you are new in the Netherlands and want to know which Dutch artists everyone is talking about, she is one of them.
Early December in Eindhoven
The first days of December are all about Sinterklaas, who is celebrated on the evening of 5 December. If you are in the city that week, the shops in the centre are busy with people buying presents and writing the traditional rhyming poems.
Getting there
The Effenaar is at Dommelstraat 2, about five minutes' walk from Eindhoven Centraal, so it is easy to reach by train from anywhere in the Netherlands. Cyclists can use the bike parking at the station. Stratumseind and the city centre are around the corner for a drink or dinner before or after the show, and the Effenaar also has its own restaurant, where you can reserve a table.
