Rewire Festival 2027 – The 16th Edition Returns to The Hague
From 8 to 11 April 2027, The Hague hosts the 16th edition of the Rewire Festival, one of Europe's most respected gatherings for adventurous and experimental music. Across four days, concert halls, theatres, churches, clubs, galleries and public spaces throughout the city centre transform into stages for boundary-pushing music from around the world.
What is Rewire Festival?
Rewire is an annual international festival dedicated to forward-thinking and genre-bending music. The carefully curated non-profit event brings together electronic music, avant-garde composition, contemporary jazz, neoclassical works, sound art and experimental pop. Beyond concerts, the programme includes club nights, installations, interdisciplinary performances, talks, film screenings and specially commissioned works. Publications including Resident Advisor, The Wire, Crack Magazine and NRC consistently rank Rewire among Europe's most important experimental city festivals.

Venues
Rewire is not a traditional festival site. Concerts and performances are spread across the city centre of The Hague, taking place in unique locations including the historic Paleiskerk church, the art centre Pulchri Studio, the Theater aan het Spui, as well as clubs, galleries and public spaces. This diversity of venues is central to the festival's concept and turns every visit into its own urban exploration.
