With the year nearing its end, we’re recollecting the past season and our three festivals that took place in it. From spring’s fresh air at Lente Kabinet to our getaway at the Adriatic coast and our motherfestival at Amsterdamse Bos, find a selection of highlights here and reminisce those music-filled days.
We have listed an overview of some of our favourite videos, photos and festival recordings that are the remnants of 12 festival days of 2019. To give some direction in this heap of content, you can filter by festival and by type of stuff you'd like to see or hear below.
