Astrid & Tarik headed up to the far north this year, to spot promising live acts at Europe’s most important showcase festival. Over 3 days, there are more than 300 bands on 29 stages at Eurosonic. At this time, Groningen becomes the place to be for everyone who eats & breathes music.

For our delegates, Eurosonic mainly means:  new music – lots of music – conversations with people in the sector – warm snacks from self-service walls – new encounters.
