About: AmsterJam

An Entity of Type: societal event, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

AmsterJam was an American rock festival based upon the concept of the mashup fad, by transferring it to the live stage and matching up two different artists to perform their own mashups - songs or compositions created by blending two or more songs together, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instrumental track of another. Taking its name from the Dutch home of its main sponsor, Heineken, the festival also featured an Amsterdam-themed village, a second stage for lesser-known acts, as well as numerous music-listening stations and short-film viewing suites.
