My review of the 15th Rewire Festival, The Hague, 9–12 April 2026.
I’ve been noticing the phenomena of “adventerous music” festivals in Europe, that bring together a wide range of artists engaged in institutional, commercial, experimental and “fringe” practices. They tend to be multi-art affairs that include film programmes, exhibitions, dance and performance art and invariably have a discourse stream featuring researchers and writers alongside artists. CTM in Berlin and Unsound in Krakow are two well known examples that I have attended and reviewed. Peers had recommended Rewire in The Hague and I was forutnate to attend its fifteenth edition, 9–12 April 2026, which felt like a sweet spot in the festival’s trajectory. Rewire occurs in early Spring and it was a sunny weekend. The festival had sold out, yet I rarely had to queue and organisers, artists and attendees were open and friendly.
