Preliminary program announced - and more to come!

From June 7 to 9, 2025, we will once again transform Park Brakkenstein in Nijmegen into a vibrant stage for adventurous music from around the world. During the 39th edition of Music Meeting Festival we will put South Korea in the spotlight, with the talented drummer Sun-Mi Hong as artist in residence. Besides top Korean artists such as percussion ensemble Groove& and sound-artist Eunsil Noh, we also welcome renowned names such as Richard Bona, Kimmo Pohjonen and Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino.

Unique collaborations and young talent
For nearly 40 years, we have been creating extraordinary musical combinations and presenting firsts. This year, Grammy winner Richard Bona shares the stage with singer Ntjam Rosie. Wacław Zimpel brings a compelling show together with Indian musicians. Young talent is also given plenty of space: Escarteen Sisters bring a fresh mix of folk and jazz, and Starpeople and South African bassist Zenzele Mthembu-Salter make their appearance.

Don't miss it!
We offer three days full of musical discoveries, workshops and inspiring encounters. Tickets are available now at musicmeeting.co.uk. Children under 16 have free admission. The additional fringe program (workshops, children's activities, music meet-ups, interviews etc.) will be announced later, so keep an eye on our updates. Experience the magic of live music with us and discover artists you won't see anywhere else!
