It’s hard to believe this year it’s been 10 years since we played our very first show as DOOL. So much has happened since then, and yet we feel as excited and lively as never before.
We want to celebrate this little milestone of ours in the shape of a one-day festival at TivoliVredenburg on December 21st this year.
For the occasion, we’ve invited some amazing befriended acts such as Berlin’s seductive Curses , Galician spiritual folkband Sangre de Muerdago , Invunche's ancestral black metal and the young goths of Lifeless Past .
Needless to say we will be playing an extensive set ourselves as well, revisiting our most beloved songs of the past 10 years.
Furthermore, the festival will host a big variety of culinary, artistic and mind altering side activities, which we will announce in time, along with more bands and acts!
Join us in celebrating ‘A Decade of DOOL!’

Helaas zijn Pharis & Jason Romero verhinderd en gaat hun optreden op Ramblin Roots niet door.
After announcing the first 36 acts; featuring names such as Sampa the Great, MEROL, Bokoesam & The Fam, Idaly, Mula B, Polyphonic, SPRINTS and The Vices, we are now anouncing the next 30 names! This includes the opening show of The Haunted Youth in the Main Hall of Effenaar on Thursday 29 August. Sylvie Kreusch, Takeshi's Cashew, Chardy, Facesoul, Kans, Porcelain Id and many more have also been added to this year's line-up.
Opening show
The opening show – which is also free entrance – is in Belgian hands this year. The popular psych pop band The Haunted Youth around Joachim Liebens, was already an up-and-coming talent at Hit The City two years ago. Since then, he has played at all major festivals such as Pinkpop, Lowlands, Werchter, Sziget, Pukkelpop and Best Kept Secret. His Dutch club tour in 2013 was completely sold out. The night will be opened by support act Ão. This Belgian quartet mixes Portuguese saudade with indie rock and subtle electronica.
Ketelhuisplein
On the afternoon and evening program at Ketelhuisplein, we find another popular Belgian name: pop singer Sylvie Kreusch is the sub-headliner for MEROL. The Dutch band Another Taste mixes 70’s funk, obscure disco and pop into a wonderful whole. And the American emo rock band Durry plays at Blue Collar Hotel.
Vibrant day and night program
On Friday 30 August and Saturday 31 August, you can discover new names throughout the city center of Eindhoven. For example, the latest generation of hip-hoppers is coming to Dynamo with Chardy, Narco Polo, ADF Antje and Crystal Chanay. The adventurous hip-hop concept Nebulous Forms also announces two new names with the Berlin rapper/artist Kabeaushé and the female duo H31R. Further afield we find the festive psych band Takeshi’s Cashew, up-and-coming indie bands Swim School and Malice K, refined soul of Facesoul and Yellowstraps and the hard-hitting British punk of Knives.
Dutch and Belgian talents are also present at the festival. After an impressive show at ’t Rozenknopje during Hit The City 2023, singer-songwriter Porcelain id returns for a show at Muziekgebouw. You can dance at night with house/IDM DJ Subfiction and the “Neue Niederländische Welle” of Staatseinde, you can headbang with the punks of Maria Iskariot and PEUK, and it is also impossible to stand still with indie pop acts such as FIEP, Min Taka and Housepainters. Punk poppers Vals Alarm, singer-songwriter Iris Jean and post-punk sensation BOWL complete this announcement.

Boost of Brainport
While everyone slowly returns to daily life in late summer, Hit The City invites the residents of the Brainport region – and beyond – to celebrate the city of Eindhoven together. With a recognizable, and accessible free music festival, an important impulse is given to the cultural offerings of the region.
Hit The City 2024 will take place from Thursday 29 August to Sunday 1 September at various indoor and outdoor locations in Eindhoven. Entrance is entirely free. Hit The City has been around for 11 years now and was the place where you could first discover acts such as Loyle Carner, Phoebe Bridgers, Viagra Boys, Fontaines DC, The Haunted Youth, Khruangbin, Joost, S10, Zwangere Guy, Alex G, Baauer, Wolf Alice, Glass Animals, Lander & Adriaan, Hak Baker, DITZ, Nusantara Beat and more.
Hit The City is programmed by Effenaar and Friendly Fire, and is made possible by ASML and Gemeente Eindhoven.

Hit The City announces 30 new names, including Pommelien Thijs, Circa Waves and Fresku
The free music festival in Eindhoven had already made an impression with names such as Broederliefde, Ronnie Flex & The Fam, Tramhaus, Maan, and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets. Now, 30 more acts join the line-up — from crowd favorites Pommelien Thijs, Sef, Fresku, Circa Waves, Bente, and Gotu Jim to rising talent including BUG, Parker Fans, Angry Blackmen, De Toegift, Pol, and many more.
Hit The City is a collaboration between Effenaar, Friendly Fire, and ASML, taking place from Friday 29 to Sunday 31 August 2025, with an opening show on Thursday 28 August. With a large outdoor stage at Ketelhuisplein and various venues spread across the city center, there’s plenty of room for both established names and exciting newcomers.
Big pop names at Ketelhuisplein
On Sunday, Ketelhuisplein will be buzzing with major pop acts guaranteed to get the crowd moving. Flemish superstar Pommelien Thijs, known for her hit Atlas, finally brings her acclaimed live show to Eindhoven after a string of sold-out concerts in the Netherlands. With her fresh and distinctive sound, Bente has become a fixture in the Dutch pop scene — crowned 3FM Talent, signed to the renowned Top Notch label, and appearing in Beste Zangers this fall. From the UK comes Circa Waves, the indie rock band behind the classic T-Shirt Weather. With their new album Death & Love, Pt. 1, they return to their roots: sunny guitar pop with a raw edge.
Hit The City embraces the hip-hop scene
The festival is also going big on hip-hop this year. Fresku, the voice of Eindhoven, returns to his hometown for a major open-air show at Ketelhuisplein, following a sold-out show earlier this year in Effenaar’s main hall. Also back in Eindhoven is Gotu Jim, whose sharp tongue and signature blend of humor and honesty always win over audiences. Sef has long been a mainstay in Dutch hip-hop and pop. He recently won an Edison Award for his album Ik Zou Voor Veel Kunnen Sterven Maar Niet Voor Een Vlag, and his new album Lieve Monsters is on the way, with several strong singles already released. Fresh off a performance on Lowlands’ Alpha stage, he brings his boundary-pushing sound to Ketelhuisplein.
At Dynamo, the spotlight will be on emerging Dutch hip-hop talent, with Saturday night shows from NOAH, Luca St, and Oykie. For fans of the experimental, Friday features Angry Blackmen, a raw, industrial rap duo, and BUG — an explosive blend of rave, punk, and rap that became a crowd favorite at ESNS earlier this year.
A city-wide program packed with new talent
Hit The City’s city program once again celebrates a rich variety of sounds. On Saturday, Café The Jack hosts a girls-to-the-front night, featuring the dark gothic rock of Dear Omen and local heroes Death Sells, who fuse noise, grunge, and punk. The energy continues on Friday, with loud guitars taking center stage: unpeople deliver heavy riffs and infectious hooks, while NYC’s Slow Fiction brings a fresh twist to early 2000s indie rock.
For those ready to hit the dance floor, there’s the indie-boogie of Parker Fans, the disco-art punk flair of Lézard, the pulsing new wave of Pol, and a DJ set from indie sleaze duo Charlie Avalon. Meanwhile, the late-night program in Effenaar’s intimate hall packs a punch with drum & bass veteran Nymfo.
Things wind down at the Muziekgebouw, where a more intimate atmosphere takes over. Expect avant-folk from Little Moon, heartfelt songwriting by Allman Brown, and poetic indie pop from De Toegift. Over at De Rozenknop, let yourself be carried away by the enchanting indie soul of Emma Hessels.
True to tradition, Hit The City continues to spotlight emerging talent. Discover the British indie-electronic duo IDER, the dreamy alt-pop of Vampire Boyfriend, rising Dutch singer-songwriter Philine, soulful French artist Octave Lissner, and Joya Mooi’s genre-defying blend of R&B and indie.
A cultural boost for the region
As summer winds down and everyday life resumes, Hit The City invites residents of the Brainport region — and far beyond — to come together and celebrate the city of Eindhoven. As a recognizable, accessible, and free festival, it provides a significant boost to the region’s cultural offerings.
Hit The City 2025 takes place from Thursday 28 August through Sunday 31 August at various indoor and outdoor locations across Eindhoven. The entire festival is free to attend. Now in its twelfth year, Hit The City proudly continues to make its mark on the music scene. Over the years, it has showcased major acts early in their careers, such as Loyle Carner, Phoebe Bridgers, Viagra Boys, Fontaines D.C., Khruangbin, Joost, S10, Zwangere Guy, Alex G, Baauer, Wolf Alice, Glass Animals, Lander & Adriaan, Hak Baker, DITZ, Nusantara Beat, and more. In 2024, the festival welcomed larger headliners for the first time, including Sampa the Great, MEROL, and The Haunted Youth.
Hit The City is curated by Effenaar and Friendly Fire, and powered by ASML.

Volgende week nog een headlinerHmmm... had gehoopt op Paradise Lost met een Draconian Times set (waren ze wel mee aan het onderhandelen). Dan maar op South Of Heaven volgend jaar.
Mamalarky is erg tof, en staat ook op london calling, maar Prewn is een verassing. Groot fan van deze plaat van een aantal jaar geleden vol met heerlijk grillige indie-rock die klinkt alsof je Sharon van Etten op halve snelheid en met een flinke dosis fuzz speelt.Nog wat aanvullingen voor Left Of The Dial:
