Wild Rooster Festival is back! This February, get yourself in gear for some roots, rockabilly, bluegrass, uptempo blues and rock 'n' roll, as the winter edition of the Wild Rooster Festival invites you to enjoy one evening of free music in The Hague.
Leave the real world behind with the mesmerising sounds of American bands - from Texas to the Mississippi Delta and beyond. As in the southern states of the USA, the fertile playground of roots music is very much alive in Europe too.
The indoor stages at Grote Markt will be filled with bands possessing imaginative names like The Boozebombs, Leadbeaters, The Blue Cats, The Candymen Duo and more!
Roots crossovers can really open our eyes to new perspectives in music. At this free music festival, you’ll hear not only traditional blues but also rock ‘n’ roll, rockabilly, hillbilly, Dixieland, ragtime, country, country-blues, old-time, jazz and even a dash of heavy metal and punk.
The wild music will most likely make you hungry, so leave plenty of room for barbecued burgers, chicken and even extra-large beef ribs! You'll also find true American barbecued corn-on-the-cob. The Wild Rooster Festival has grown to become a super-size festival, and it wouldn't be complete without feasting on this great food. Utterly irresistible.
Getting to the Wild Rooster Festival couldn’t be easier by public transportation. Grote Markt is located centrally in The Hague and many trams and metros stop there. Cycling is recommended, as parking is limited.
