Popronde
Travelling music festival
Popronde is a free nationwide travelling festival that visits around 40 cities across the Netherlands every autumn. In cafés, clubs, record stores, theatres and other venues, a new generation of Dutch artists gets the chance to perform for audiences, press and promoters. The programme ranges from rock, hip-hop and metal to electronic music, singer-songwriters and everything in between. Each year, around one hundred acts are selected from more than a thousand applications to gain live experience outside their own region. Popronde is not a competition, but a showcase festival and springboard for emerging talent. Former participants including Froukje, De Staat, Pip Blom, MEAU, Racoon and The Vices have since become established names.
girlhead
Girlhead is a dream pop and shoegaze band with members from The Hague and Amsterdam, combining the hazy soundscapes of Slowdive and Cocteau Twins with the heavier edge of Deftones. Their music moves between dreamy dissonance and emotional clarity, bringing vulnerability and volume together.
KRAM
KRAM is an Irish-Dutch alternative/post-punk band from Amsterdam, driven by urgency, tension and collective release. Guided by their belief that ‘Love Stands Forever’, their music and live shows seek connection in a divided world. Known for their powerful, explosive and unifying live performances, they won the Amsterdam Popprijs in 2025.
Ontaard
Ontaard grabs hold of you and refuses to let go. This Utrecht four-piece weaves spoken word, screams and a wall of sound into music that hits the head, heart and soul. Shira’s lyrics are feminist and socially engaged, carrying all the emotions that come with these subjects.
