Cultural heritage

This is the first time that the grounds around The Van Nelle Factory and its buildings will be the setting for a festival. The venue will accommodate multiple stages, both inside the factory and outside under the famous diagonal transport bridges connecting the various buildings of the Van Nelle Factory, where international artists, local talents and festival-goers will converge on 24 August.

Audio Obscura: "Over the past 10 years, we have searched intensively for a festival site that matches our vision. The Van Nelle Factory is known as an example of Dutch architecture, where Rotterdam's cultural heritage is celebrated in combination with industrial design and the city's creativity. We are super proud to host our first Audio Obscura Festival in Rotterdam, in the Van Nelle Fabriek."
