With the motto of "Listening is the way forward", Le Guess Who? is widely considered to be one of the most forward-thinking music festivals around, and it takes place for four days every November in Utrecht.
Indie music in Utrecht with Le Guess Who?
Le Guess Who? exists to promote sounds that are often overlooked, and to platform fresh perspectives on what is possible in music. Artists from all over the world come to Utrecht to show how music can push boundaries and to showcase the diversity of human creativity.
