Popronde 2025 in central editorial

On Saturday, November 15, you can watch free performances at various places in Haarlem. For example, you can go to Julia Adriana in ‘t Kantoor, to Eigen Risk in the Anti Bar or to Dog Breeder in The Wolfhound. Check here the full program, times and locations.

The Popronde offers (yet) unknown acts the opportunity to present themselves outside their own region and gain touring and playing experience. The programming is not tied to a musical style and provides an overview of what is happening in the field of live music – outside the mainstream – in the Netherlands. From metal to hip hop, from singer-songwriters to drum ‘n bass, from rock to blues; almost every genre is represented, as can be read the website of the organization.

Cd’s in merchandise

For more information about Popronde, CDs from previous editions and merchandise, you can visit the information stand from 7 p.m. In Haarlem you will find the information stand at Grote Markt 24.
