WELCOME For the festival industry, 2017 was a year marked by change. Topics like sustainability, transparency and consumer experience have become focus points for every organiser. The festival market is becoming more and more mature, and the festivals themselves are getting better and better. Content marketing and publishing house iMediate is responsible for the b2b magazine EB Live. Ten years ago, we had a vision of publishing the ultimate festival guide under that banner. A year later, the first edition was a reality. After eight successive editions, we fulfilled our ambition, and as it stands, the EB Festival Guide is referred to by many industry professionals as the ‘Festival Bible’. It has become tradition that our guide is released in January during the Eurosonic Noorderslag Conference in Groningen, the Netherlands. It provides live entertainment professionals with an overview of all relevant information regarding the festival landscape. Hopefully this year’s edition, listing more than 1,000 festivals in the Benelux, plus most of the larger festivals in the rest of Europe, will help you to fill in your calendars and make sure you don’t miss out on all the amazing festivals of 2018 – and on the opportunities that will be generated by those festivals. Festivals come and go, and although we have strived to list as many festivals as we could, the festival world remains a very dynamic one. Moreover, as we start producing this guide at the end of the year, some of next year’s festival information isn’t available yet. If your festival is not mentioned in this guide, and you would like it to be listed in next year’s edition, or if you would like to add extra information, please don’t hesitate to contact us at festivalguide@entertainmentbusiness.nl. This guide would not have been possible without the input of all participating festival organisers. We also would like to give a warm welcome to all advertisers. Most of them have been on board since day one, and they are the backbone of this returning publication. Thank you for that! If you like what you see in this guide, please also check out our bi-monthly magazine EB Live, in which we cover the industry side of live entertainment in all its facets. As we are getting ready to mark down our personal festival calendars, we would like to wish you a great 2018 and hopefully, we’ll bump into each other at one of the festivals!

Impuls Special FX
SPECIAL EFFECTS VOOR ELK EVENEMENT! Confetti- en CO2-kanonnen, schuimmachines, vuurwerk, vlammen tot 15 meter hoog: bedenk een special effect en Impuls Special FX kan het leveren. “Er zijn niet zo veel partijen in Nederland die doen wat wij doen”, vertelt Maarten Heukels, directeur van Impuls Special FX. “Wij verzorgen alles wat met special effects te maken heeft, van indoorvuurwerk tot timecode-shows. Denk aan eindshows op festivals, waarbij de show zo voorgeprogrammeerd is dat je exact getimed al je vuurwerkeffecten hebt. Daarvoor hebben we de techniek in huis. Ook kunnen we heel eenvoudig de special effects zoals CO2, vlammen en confetti op tijd programmeren.”
Foto: Nico Alsemgeest
Huur de wowfactor ‘De wowfactor is gewoon te huur bij Impuls Special FX’, is het motto van het Twentse bedrijf, dat dit waarmaakt op uiteenlopende festivals als Awakenings Festival, Zwarte Cross, Freshtival, Gay Pride en Amsterdam Dance Event. Veiligheid Wat de randvoorwaarden of het budget ook zijn, Impuls Special FX heeft altijd de veiligheid hoog in het vaandel. Heukels: “Daar zijn we continu mee bezig: hoe kunnen we systemen veiliger maken? Bij vuurwerk zijn de regels heel duidelijk vastgelegd in het vuurwerkbesluit, maar met special effects is niet duidelijk geregeld of je vlammen van vijftien meter mag afsteken. En hoe je dat dan veilig moet doen, wat de afstanden tot het publiek zouden moeten zijn en wat je moet doen als het fout gaat.”
01_FG2018_Januari NL.indd 28
“We investeren volop in het ontwikkelen van veiliger systemen. Onze mensen hebben uiteraard de vuurwerkcertificaten. Verder is hebben wij werkwijzen ontwikkeld waarin we voor elk event een RI&E (risico-inventarisatie en -evaluatie) hebben. Hierin staat wat de risico’s zijn, wat eraan gedaan wordt om die te beperken en hoe te handelen in geval van een calamiteit. Daar leiden we onze mensen intern voor op, en ook de freelancers worden zo geïnstrueerd.” Verantwoord Veiligheid is niet iets om op te bezuinigen, meent Heukels. “Onze mensen gaan niet op een knop drukken als ze niet kunnen zien of het veilig en verantwoord is. Dat vind ik belangrijker dan de prijsvoorwaarden. Ik hoef niet de goedkoopste te zijn, als ik de veiligheid maar op de juiste manier kan waarborgen. Daar staat Impuls Special FX voor!” Verzekerd Tegenwoordig komen er steeds meer aanbieders met special effects op de markt. Wat de professionals onderscheidt, is het feit dat deze speciaal verzekerd zijn voor het gebruik van bijvoorbeeld CO2 en vlammen. “Mocht er onverhoopt iets misgaan, dan zijn we daartegen verzekerd”, legt Heukels uit. “Ik merk dat er soms te makkelijk over wordt gedacht. Zo van: o, die stage flames doen we er wel even bij. Zolang het allemaal goed gaat, is er niets aan de hand, maar als het een keer uit de hand loopt en er bijvoorbeeld iets in de brand vliegt, zijn de rapen gaar. Wij hebben dat gelukkig goed ondervangen en zijn op alles voorbereid.”

HARD BASS HARDSTYLE The first edition of Hard Bass was held at a small club venue in Rotterdam in 2001. The event quickly expanded and has since been held in locations like Statenhal in The Hague, SilverDome Zoetermeer, Jaarbeurs Utrecht and Brabanthallen Den Bosch. Nowadays, Hard Bass is held once a year in a completely sold-out GelreDome in Arnhem. Hardstyle dominates the stadium during ten hours, with music selected by 16 DJs and other acts, divided into four carefully selected formations. The look and feel of the stage is based around technical and show elements, such as lasers, video, pyro and fireworks.

TECHNO In 2014, the Maassilo venue became the headquarters of Rotterdam Rave. This old industrial building, formerly used as a storage facility for grain and corn, makes the perfect scenery for a proper rave. All event areas will be transformed into rave caves with fireworks, lasers, flamethrowers, visuals, amazing decorations and light shows. Quality music, spectacular shows, international headliners and an army of ravers – that’s what Rotterdam Rave stands for. Highlights from previous editions include: Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Len Faki, Speedy J, Dave Clarke, Nicole Moudaber, Joris Voorn, Sam Paganini, Alan Fitzpatrick and Luigi Madonna.

Previous years' outdoor editions were completely sold out, and in 2018, KARMA will come back stronger than ever! (Minimum age: 21)
‘For All Who Love’ is the epitome of Milkshake’s image and describes the ambiance of the smashing previous editions. An event which was born from the thought ‘everything is possible’ and shows that entertainment, music preference, choice of clothing and status has nothing to do with sexuality. An ambiance that is free of stereotypes created by society. Milkshake celebrates the city and its initiatives and is an impetus to bring the courtesy and friendly manners back into society. Thick, thin, gay, straight, trans, black or white: people are the salt of the earth and this is what we celebrate! FESTIVAL INFORMATION

SEPTEMBER BROEKROCK edition 21 Broekrock is the one and only festival in the village of Broekland. And it is for free! Broekrock takes place on the farm of Hein & Diny – their old pig farm was turned into the famous Hein & Diny Music Hall. Besides bands and DJs, there are many workshops as well as various crazy things you will see in and around the farm. Visitors can stay overnight at nature campsite De Joxhorst, only a 5 minutes’ bike ride away. For real daredevils, there is a spot in the land to pitch a tent, between the cows and the bull.
ZINO CLASSIXS OUTDOOR DANCE
edition 4
In previous years, the demand for tickets for the famous Zino Classixs Outdoor was very high, so the festival sold out. The location, the music, the people – what a festival... Luck was on our side! Of course, we will be back in 2018. Bigger, bolder, better! Highlights from previous editions include: DJ Francois.
Highlights from previous editions include: The Minutes, Bökkers, Are you a Lion, A Brand, Boo!, Horse Company, Orange Skyline, and many more...

edition 5
FESTIVAL INFORMATION date 12-13 October location O.J.C. Watjang?!? + Gemeenschapshuis De Linde,
Oirlo Female Metal Event is a festival that celebrates women in metal. A band performing at FemME must have at least one female band member – not necessarily a front woman; a guitarist, bass player or drummer is fine, too. On two stages without overlapping schedules, the whole range from operatic and symphonic to death and trash metal will be presented. The stages allow for a combination of well-known heavyweights on the main stage and lesser-known and innovative new bands on the other stage. The main heavy event will take place on Friday 12 October and Saturday 13 October. On Sunday 14 October, it’s time for an acoustic setting. The pre-party will take place on Thursday 11 October. Highlights from previous editions include: Delain, And Then She Came, MaYaN, The Birthday Massacre, Sirenia, Arch Enemy, Lacuna Coil and Therion.

DJANGOFOLLLIES JAZZ The annual jazz festival Djangofolllies commemorates the anniversary of Django Reinhardt (23/01/1910). Regarded as the jazz guitar’s most dazzling soloist, Django was the first Belgian musical virtuoso to influence American jazz. His music, now more than ever, represents a source of joy and wonder which is perpetually renewed. The gypsy swing sound pioneered by this peerless improviser will resound again throughout Belgium, to the delight of both the expectant aficionados of this kind of music and the curious novices. Djangofolllies comes back with an eclectic programme of events, staged in a variety of venues. Highlights from previous editions include: Roby Lakatos, Biréli Lagrène, Lolo Meier, Fapy Lafertin, Dorado Schmitt, The Rosenberg & Limberger Families, Christian Escoudé, and Philip Catherine.

The festival will focus on the human voice in all its forms (most importantly a truthful voice), surprising concert formats, unique and historic locations, the female strength in art and society (among others to honour Margaret of Austria) and the playful human. Voice in residence for 2018 is Sigrid Hausen (with her ensembles VocaMe en Qntal).

ARS MUSICA CLASSIC, EXPERIMENTAL
In 2018, Ghent Flanders Festival will present its 61st edition. Attracting over 55,000 visitors each year, the Festival has become the talk of the music scene with events like OdeGand (the grand opening event), Artbeat, Parklife with a musical walking tour, and a Venetian Ball. The festival’s success is in great part due to its unique mix of diversity and creativity. Each year, over 180 concerts (classical and world music) are presented by more than 1,500 (inter)national artists. Ghent Flanders Festival is different in that it is only content if it can present the very best.
edition 28
Established in 1989, Ars Musica is a biennial festival of contemporary music which is well-regarded and well-known in Europe.

With over 25 years of experience, Ars Musica has featured over 800 composers, with each edition including over 35 new composers, and it has been instrumental in publicising many Belgian and international artists.

APRIL/MAY DUTCHWEEK FESTIVAL The famous Dutchweek Festival has been a huge event in the France Alps for over 15 years now. Every last week of April or first week of May, at the end of the snow season, lots of Dutch party people visit Val Thorens. As the small village is full of Dutch people in this week, this official ‘closing’ week is called the ‘Dutchweek’.
TIME WARP DANCE, TECHNO, TRANCE, MINIMAL, HOUSE
edition 22
Time Warp DE is one the world’s most revered techno parties. Inhabiting Mannheim’s vast Maimarkthalle for over 15 hours, the multi-floor rave brings techno’s pioneers and brightest lights together under one roof. Renowned as much for the immersive environment it creates as for its unerringly impressive line-ups, the festival makes ample use of lasers, lighting and visual-mapping to transform the venue into a techno wonderland. As the festival edges ever closer to a quarter-century of monumental parties, it remains a peerless celebration of electronic music’s thriving underground.

It takes place during the day at an island, San Simón, located on the spectacular Vigo estuary, and the audience can only arrive to the festival by taking the boats on charter to the organisation. The other reason that makes Sinsal a new model of festival is the secret line-up. The audience does not know the name of the artists until they enter the island. A line-up with references from the five continents, which only 800 people can enjoy each day.

We launched OFF Festival in 2006 not to win friends, but to intrigue and inspire people, to pose questions, and to provoke outrage and discussion. The history of OFF Festival Katowice is made up of hundreds, perhaps thousands of testimonies to the fact that music changes people. People, in turn, change the world. OFF Festival is more than just a musical event, it’s a way of life, one that flies in the face of current trends and stays true to itself, and the ethos of organiser Artur Rojek is firmly aimed at supporting new, challenging, and ambitious music.

Øyafestivalen was started in 1999 with the philosophy of building up the Oslo music scene. We’re now the biggest festival in Norway, with global artists headlining, but Øya’s heart is still in the details – the music we curate, how the site is created, the friendly atmosphere, our environmental focus and the organic food we serve. 2014 marked the start of a new era for us. We moved to an amazing new site, Tøyenparken, which is bigger and better than our old playground in every way. 2018 will mark the 20th edition of Øyafestivalen.

The green location Sauwasen, once meant to be the land for pig farmers, is surrounded by tall, shady trees, which give the festival an idyllic ambiance.
Malmöfestivalen is a warm, friendly and sustainable festival taking place over one week, every August since 1985. Right in the heart of the city, you will experience everything from groundbreaking arts, music and culture to a variety of food that reflects the intercultural vibes and people of Malmö.

INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL MIDDELBURG JAZZ
edition 10
In 2012, International Jazz Festival Middelburg was proclaimed to be one of the ten best festivals in Europe by national newspaper De Volkskrant.

So acting from a strong history, next edition promises to write another great chapter in the book that is International Jazz Festival Middelburg.

LOVELAND FESTIVAL In 2018, Loveland Festival will be back for its 12th edition. This massive festival has steadily grown to a crowd of 25,000 people but it has never lost its intimate feeling. This is partly due to the beautiful Sloterpark where the event has always been held. Loveland Festival is known for having a very diverse crowd, a fantastic atmosphere and mix of artists and music styles. A lot of thought and creativity is put into building the stages and decorating the location, not to mention the superb sound system and quality artists.

FEEËRIEËN edition 9
Have you ever dreamed with your eyes open? At Daydream Festival, magical thoughts are realised, come to life and these inspirations expand boundaries. In this dream, the sky is the limit and time cannot be controlled. This festival is known for its theatrical decors and good atmosphere, and was therefore nominated for Best Newcomer at the European Dance Awards. Overwhelmed with love and support, Daydream Festival continues its journey and is stepping into new territories. After Belgium, Mexico and the Dominican Republic will be able to daydream... Highlights from previous editions include: Nicky Romero, Showtek, Nervo, Ummet Ozcan, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano and Blasterjaxx.
EXPERIMENTAL, FOLK, MINIMAL, SINGER-SONGWRITER
Free music festival. Recommended for connoisseurs of the enchanting and outdoor cocooners. We couldn’t capture the spirit of the Feeërieën better than De Standaard once worded it: “Once a year the Warande Park in Brussels transforms into a fairy-tale forest where weird and wonderful music resounds. Between trees strewn with colourful lights. The musicians who play here - for a quiet-as-a-mouse, usually seated, audience - are masters of melancholy. All this takes place under a thick leafy ceiling, on a bandstand that bathes in misty blue lights. A fata morgana such as you have never seen.”

Voor liveoptredens regelt Buma/Stemra de vergoeding voor de makers van de liedjes. Om het geld aan de makers van de liedjes te kunnen uitkeren, hebben we een overzicht van de gespeelde nummers nodig. Daarom hebben we een setlijsten app ontwikkeld. Hiermee kun je makkelijk en snel de gespeelde nummers -de setlijstbij ons aanleveren. Download de Buma setlijsten app voor iOS of Android.
