Popronde is a Dutch traveling festival that takes place in about 40 cities every autumn between September and November. On Saturday, November 9, the festival returns to Rotterdam, where you can enjoy talented acts spread throughout the city centre.
During the Popronde, locations in the city centre provide a showcase for emerging Dutch talent. In addition to cafés and music venues, art galleries, the library and other special places will also be the setting for great performances. In Rotterdam, more than 30 locations are 'pop venues for a day'. This includes Westerpaviljoen, Centraal, Sijf, Bar3, Ani & Haakien and Belgisch Biercafé Boudewijn.
The official programme of Popronde starts on November 9 at 1:45 PM in the Markthal with emerging artist Julia Tan. She is inspired by Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers and Gracie Abrams. In 2023, she released her debut single, followed by three new singles in 2024, the last being her track "Miserable". During the day you will visit dozens of performances throughout the city, such as in Popunie, the Markthal, Proeflokaal Reijngoud, Westerpaviljoen, Botanero, Boekhandel van Gennep, Barclay and much more. Do you want to party until the early hours? This is possible at 00:30 in Club Centraal.
