Festival De Zoete Inval programme announced!

Poppodium Boerderij and MusicSoulHouse are joining forces to present a diverse festival where talent from Zoetermeer takes center stage. Across three stages, you can enjoy live music, performances, and surprising acts by artists from the region.

Talented acts are given a platform: various winners from Kunstbende will perform, along with the winner of the music competition Young Music Talent, as well as a selected act from Gluren Bij De Buren, chosen by a ghost jury.

Beyond music, there is plenty to experience! Take part in creative workshops, enjoy live painting, get your face painted, or customise your own pass at Digital Art Lab. Browse vinyl at My Cup Of Vinyl and Blitz Guitarworks, pick up merchandise, or relax with food and drinks on the Boerderij’s cosy terrace. Feeling hungry? Grab some fries from the snack truck of 2Tasty. You can also join inspiring activities such as the recycling workshop “Making Musical Instruments” by the waste teacher from Kunstgarage Franx.

The festival is made possible by a wide range of local partners and talent developers, including CKC & Partners, Kunstgarage Franx, Alfrink College, Erasmus College, Oranje Nassau College, Bigband Eastend Sixteen, Eefke de Geus, Kick'n Studios, Gro-Up Jongerenwerk, Jongerenhub Gelijk, and the Zoetermeerse Queer Community.
