On 12 and 13 September, Festival Downtown will once again take over the heart of Rotterdam.
For eleven editions now, this has been the weekend for anyone who wants to hear what’s happening now and what’s coming next.

Downtown brings a program that pushes boundaries, surprises, and leaves space for the unexpected.
Artists who follow their own path, scenes that blend together, sounds you won’t hear anywhere else. From urban to punk, rave to house and tropical, it’s not about genres, it’s about energy.

By day, you’ll discover new acts at free outdoor stages. When night falls, the vibe moves indoors, intimate club shows, with tickets that stay accessible.

Two days of new music, in a city that never stops moving.
Redefining Rotterdam, reshaping the narrative.
