Fest der Blasmusik

On Saturday, 31 October 2026, the 11th edition of Fest der Blasmusik takes place at Rabo Theater De Meenthe - the largest brass music festival in the Netherlands. Fifteen brass bands from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany perform that evening.

The evening programme in the Events Hall begins at 19:30. The opening act is Brothers in Brass, a young band that gives traditional Bohemian brass music a contemporary twist. This is followed by a performance from a brass band to be announced, assembled from leading Dutch musicians.

From 18:00, visitors can enjoy a cold and warm buffet in the foyer - advance booking is required.
