DeWolff’s Mid-Nite Rock & Roll Circus

We are beyond excited to announce that we will be hosting our very own party during the ESNS festivities this year! We've hand-picked some of the coolest Dutch bands around: the crazy, hilarious and rowdy Taxitaxi, the hypnotically hip-shakin' Collignon, the electrifying f.i.x. and of course our dear friends Dawn Brothers. DJ Pablo & Wim will spin vinyl records until 5 AM.

The idea for our own party has been brewing for some time: mainstream music is becoming more formulaic, predictable, lifeless and synthetic by the day — and with soulless, meaningless AI music blurring the lines between what is real and what is not, it edges closer to the lifeless music it attempts to emulate. We feel it’s time for a counter-movement. That movement revolves around REAL music — raw, imperfect, strange, idiosyncratic, out of tune and capricious as it may be — made by REAL people — strange, unique, weird, ugly, beautiful, lovely and wonderfully out of sync.

We want to celebrate that weirdness and realness as loudly as we can with as many friends as possible: so we proudly present DEWOLFF’S MID-NITE ROCK ’N’ ROLL CIRCUS at EM2 in Groningen on 16 January 2026!
