Aminé Tour de Dance 2025 at Melkweg Amsterdam
Overview
Aminé - Tour de Dance 2025 brings the Portland hip-hop innovator to Melkweg in Amsterdam for an unforgettable performance. The Grammy-nominated rapper, known for his game-changing hit "Caroline" and genre-defying visual artistry, takes the stage with collaborator FS Green to deliver a dynamic showcase of his evolving sound. Since breaking through in 2016 with "Caroline"—a six-times platinum anthem that peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100—Aminé has established himself as one of hip-hop's most creative and visually inventive artists, crafting cinematic music videos and pushing boundaries across his albums Good for You and Limbo.
Aminé's journey from sneaking into Portland State's empty studios to become a major-label sensation reflects his relentless work ethic and artistic vision. His recent honorary doctorate from Portland State University (June 2025) celebrates how he's redefined rap and hip-hop for a new generation. Melkweg, Amsterdam's legendary cultural venue, provides the perfect stage for this Tour de Dance experience, offering an intimate yet vibrant setting for one of hip-hop's most compelling contemporary artists.
