In 1992, the [[Muziekcentrum Frits Philips]] was opened as a stage for classical and popular music in Eindhoven, reviewed by critics as a concert hall with acoustics that rival the best halls in Europe. Before that, Philips sponsored the [[Philips Ontspannings Centrum|POC]].

Parktheater Eindhoven is Eindhoven's stage for opera, cabaret, ballet etc. Opened in 1964, it has received over 250,000 visitors every year. With its 1,000 m2 it has one of the largest stages in the Netherlands. With a major renovation ending in 2007, the new Parktheater will receive an estimated 300,000 visitors a year.

Eindhoven's Plaza Futura is now a cinema featuring cultural movies, lectures and special cultural events.

Especially for students, [[Studium Generale Eindhoven]] organizes "socially, culturally and intellectually formative events".<ref name="StudiumGenerale">{{cite web |url=http://www.studiumgenerale-eindhoven.nl/sg/ |title=Studium Generale Eindhoven |website=Studiumgenerale-eindhoven.nl |access-date=5 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100722190708/http://www.studiumgenerale-eindhoven.nl/sg/ |archive-date=22 July 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref> From within the student body, two [[Tuna (music)|Tunas]] provide entertainment from time to time at university and city events: [[Tuna Ciudad de Luz]] (''Tuna of the City of Light'') and the ladies tuna [[La Tuniña]].<ref name="TunaCdL">{{cite web|url=http://w3.tunacl.nl/index.php?id=en |title=Tuna Ciudad de Luz |publisher=Tuna Ciudad de Luz |access-date=29 August 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724171203/http://w3.tunacl.nl/index.php?id=en |archive-date=24 July 2011}}</ref><ref name="LaTunina">{{cite web|url=http://www.stud.tue.nl/~tunina/index%20Engels.html |title=La Tuniña |publisher=La Tuniña |access-date=29 August 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724171204/http://www.stud.tue.nl/~tunina/index%20Engels.html |archive-date=24 July 2011}}</ref>

The general music and theatre scene in Eindhoven (in the broadest sense) is supported by a foundation called PopEi.<ref name="PopEi">{{cite web|url=http://www.popei.nl |title=Home &#124; POPEI |website=Popei.nl |date=22 February 2017 |access-date=5 March 2017}}</ref> The purpose of this foundation is to support artistic groups with facilities, especially rehearsal stages and areas (housed in the old Philips location of [[Strijp-S]]) but also storage facilities. PopEi also provides a working environment for groups (through cafeteria facilities in [[Strijp-S]], so groups can have real working days) and provides some logistical support for organizing events.
