Left of the Dial, one of the most beloved festivals in Europe of any artists who have played and any attendees, announces its first 40 artists for the 2025 edition taking place in Rotterdam 23, 24 and 25 October. It’s programming is spot on, gathering together a quality range of new, emerging and independent artists, many of whom are on the cusp of more widespread attention. Left of the Dial is second to none with regards to sustainability, well-being of artists, initiatives in relation to merch production, free events running concurrently with the main festival and of course the most entertaining social media posts throughout the year.
And for anyone who has previously attended, there is rumours that Bands on a Boat may now also be joined by Bands on a Bus.
And all of this located in beautiful venues scattered around central Rotterdam and at more than reasonable ticket prices.
No dynamic pricing here!
