Popcultuur Wageningen provides a stage for young, talented local and regional artists that perform their own work.
Our events
Quiet is the New Loud!
One of our monthly event is ‘Quiet is the New Loud!’. As the name suggests, this is meant for more quiet concerts. It takes place at the public library of Wageningen (BBLTHK), the relaxed atmosphere of the library provides an ideal place for the somewhat more subtle music.This event has been around since 2011 and is therefore quite established and always crowded. Moreover, there is always complete silence and attention to the music, which makes it a very unique atmosphere for both audience and artists.
So, come to visit de bblthk to enjoy the best acoustic sing-songwriters and bands of the Netherlands. Check our socials for upcoming editions of ‘Quiet is the New Loud’!
InDiePub
InDiePub is an initiative of Stichting Popcultuur Wageningen that tries to promote the varied offer of bars, pubs, restaurants and other meeting places in Wageningen by inviting artists to their stages. With this, Popcultuur thrives to stimulate the liveliness and cultural atmosphere of Wageningen city center.
Indie music was created by musicians who experimented a lot and started performing independently (That’s why it’s called indie). Nowadays music festivals are full of indie bands and it has become very popular genre.
InDiePub is a monthly recurring event with 2 indie acts every edition, every time at a different location in the city center of Wageningen.
