Le Guess Who? is a festival for adventurous music from all over the world. The 13th edition of the festival takes place in Utrecht from 7 November to 10 November.
Le Guess Who? takes over the city of Utrecht for the four days of the festival. More than 150 musicians perform in concert halls, theatres, churches, cellars and former industrial buildings. Satellite events such as exhibitions, installations, film screenings, sessions, markets and free concerts take place on the streets and in the bars, cinemas and galleries of the city.
Le Guess Who? focusses on artists who explore and extend musical boundaries. In addition to pop and rock you can hear non-western music, (free)jazz, avant-garde, folk, krautrock, psychedelica, drone, ambient and modern classical and often music that mixes together these different genres.
