More about fringe events besides ESNS25

Fringe events are unofficial, alternative events and performances that occur alongside the main Eurosonic Noorderslag festival in Groningen. These fringe events, like Wolfsonic, are not part of the official festival program but complement it by creating additional opportunities for artists to perform and for audiences to enjoy diverse music in more informal or unconventional settings. Fringe events add to the festival's vibrant atmosphere, often highlighting local talent, experimental acts, or niche genres that might not fit within the primary lineup of Eurosonic. They create a broader and more inclusive festival experience, enriching the cultural environment of the city during the event.
