Amsterdam voor een week in mei omgedoopt tot Indiestad

In May Amsterdam will be flooded with bands as the city will be the host to new festival Indiestad. This will take place from the 18th of May until the 25th, and it will feature mostly bands, though the people hosting the event have already let it slip they are tempted to branch out but don’t want to do so yet because this is the first go at it.

The festival will take place in multiple venues, including Paradiso and De Duif, a church where apparently family friendly events will be held (a far cry from Owen Pallett’s display in 2010 then). Included in the festival is the two-day event London Calling, which has become a very popular twice a year event in Paradiso. Though what belongs to what and who will play where is still up in the air, but among the bands playing will be Twin Shadow (check our review of his gig in Merleyn), Holy Ghost! (check the interview we did with the lads last year), Caribou, Mercury Rev, Sam Amidon, Cat’s Eyes, and more.
