A sparkling cultural popular festival with numerous performances of various
national and international artists: a unique event in Europe, thanks to the
varied and free offer of (music) performances, (street)theatre, exhibitions,
animation for children, fairs, parades and so much more!
The Ghent Festivities are among the biggest popular festivals in Europe and have
been recognised as Flemish intangible heritage. You can attend concerts and
performances all across town. You won’t go hungry or thirsty thanks to the many
food and drink stalls.
Over the course of ten days, thousands of people come to Ghent. Some of the
crowd pullers include the Bal 1900 dance party, the International Puppet Buskers
Festival, the International Street Theatre Festival, Baudelopark…

A lot of squares, streets and parks in the Ghent city centre host a variety of
performances during the Ghent Festivities. Well-known national artists as well
as simple street performers, everyone gets a chance to perform their act. These
locations are the places to be if you want to breathe in the atmosphere of the
Ghent Festivities.
You can only go up the tower of St Bavo’s Cathedral during the Ghent
Festivities. Negotiate the stairs and enjoy the magnificent view of this unique
party for the people in the heart of Ghent. At other times of the year, you can
enjoy the most beautiful view of Ghent from directly beneath the golden dragon,
Ghent’s mascot, on the Belfry tower
[https://visit.gent.be/en/see-do/ghent-belfry-world-heritage]opposite. From
there you can continue exploring the heart of Ghent. Anything goes.
Everything comes to an end, and then it’s clean-up time. After ten days of
revelry, the municipal sanitation department pulls out all the stops to restore
Ghent to its usual spic-and-span state. This takes approximately 3 days, so you
should take this into account if you visit Ghent just after the Festivities
week.

VroegZat brengt het nachtleven terug naar de avond en dit keer weer extra groot
in onze Ronda! Evenveel feest, maar dan lekker vroeg en dus op een normale tijd
naar bed waardoor je de volgende dag gewoon fit bent: win-win. Perfect voor de
dertigers en veertigers die de volgende ochtend kinderen aan hun bed hebben
staan of sportverplichtingen hebben, maar ook voor iedereen die zich soms alleen
zo oud voelt. Muzikaal gaat het heen en weer van disco naar pop en van reggae
naar rock en van happy naar hiphop en die lekkere dansbare tunes die daar tussen
en buiten zitten.
Santé! Zaterdag 20 juli zijn we te vinden in TivoliVredenburg voor de beste
house & tech-house van dit moment. Met je favoriete lokale dj’s op de line-up
wordt dit nu al een avond om niet te vergeten. Can’t miss!

In de broeiende underground van Utrecht gaat het al een tijdje rond: egg punk is
booming. Het is lo-fi, het is snel, het is energiek en vooral niet te missen.
Daarom is het de hoogste tijd dat de bands Autobahns, WWW en Spurn voor een
avond bovengronds verschijnen, om met weirde synths, snelle drumcomputers en
luide gitaren ACU op haar grondvesten te laten trillen.
