Festival Stille Nacht returns to the Maassilo in Rotterdam on Friday, December 13! The winter festival has been presenting the most exceptional musical talent since 2010, in the broadest sense of the word, from intimate songwriters to indie pop, and from Americana to electronics.

Festival Stille Nacht fills a niche

With Sinterklaas already back at home, the Dutch weather probably at its coldest and the Christmas holidays just around the corner, Festival Stille Nacht fills a gap in the Dutch cultural agenda. The mix of musicians creates an atmosphere open to relaxed musical explorations and discoveries with just a touch of holiday cheer!

Under the name Stille Nacht or "Silent Night," the event looks to brighten up the holiday season not with massive arena parties, but rather with intimate performances by talented singer-songwriters in smaller venues around the Netherlands. 

Stille Nacht line-up

Here is the festival line-up so far:

• Amber Run
• Andrew Combs
• Ciao Lucifer
• I am Oak
• Jasper Steverlinck
• Robin Kester
• Sam Calver
• Sugar Candy Mountain
• Tessa Dixson
