Left Of The Dial Festival

Left of the Dial is a showcase festival that has been running since 2018. The four-day event takes place across around 27 venues in Rotterdam’s city centre and has grown into an important launchpad for emerging international artists. There are no headliners at Left of the Dial – every act is treated equally and welcomed with the same care and enthusiasm. Today, the festival attracts thousands of music lovers to the city each year.
