Rewire Festival 2023 (The Hague, Netherlands)

[Enkidu]

Anyone going to this or been before? I'm going next year, for the first time. Looks a bit like a springtime Le Guess Who and the first lineup announcement is pretty good.

Yeah Le Guess Who? is a good reference point though Rewire is quite a bit scaled back (not a criticism, LGW? and the numerous side festivals make it a behemoth).

You can hit similar issues of crowding especially around Paard so if something is a must, get there early.

Den Haag is a pretty perfect location-lots of central accomodation, venues not far from each other.

Main lineup dropped today. I started to copy but it is a big old list. Mightily impressive  Highlights for me from the latest batch include

Wacław Zimpel & Ben Kreukniet , Aura Satz Rhodri Davies & Julia Eckhardt perform  Occam Delta XX, Daniel Blumberg , Ellen Arkbro & Johan Graden (lovely album last year for fans of early Low),  Ghosted (Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling, Andreas Werliin), Nadah El Shazly & Elvin Brandhi, Dale Cornish.

Another great edition. They need to sort out the queuing problem but still this along with Le Guess Who represents the pinnacle of modern music festivals
