A festival at Baroeg

Baroeg in Rotterdam is one of the most renowned concert venues for alternative music, which describes itself as a "subcultural pop venue". The fact that Black Denim Festival is taking place there says a lot about the festival's importance for the music scene in Rotterdam.

With over 35 years experience in bringing metal, punk, rock, psychobilly, electro, industrial and hard rock to music fans of the Netherlands, it seems only natural for Black Denim Festival to have found a home there. It matches festivals like Baroeg Open Air in extreme music.
