Noorderslag always is the first music festival in the Netherlands of the year. The place to be if you want to be up- to-date with what’s going on in the Dutch/European music industry. Business-wise but also upcoming artist wise. Don’t worry, I’m not gonna talk business i’ll just let you know which artists I’ll be checking out at the festival. If you’re not gonna be able to make it, check them out at home, they make great listening, I promise!
