Lovers of heavy music are obviously familiar with Little Devil, the infamous rock cafe of Tilburg, that offers blues rock, metal, stoner, punk and everything in between. As long as it rocks!

The striking rawness of the Club Smederij building is hard to miss. The place once served as a hangar for train engines. Today, it’s the breeding ground for exciting electronic music-driven nights. In this club, with an almost Berlin underground atmosphere, a horrorcore clubnight comes to life during Roadburn.

Kraakkelder is a place run by locals with crazy ideas, idiotic fascinations and crazy energy. The result? Many striking manifestations, quirky events and – during Roadburn – the heart of the youthful, heavy scene.

A venue known for its cozy living room and sunny beer garden is Steck. This fine spot located in Tilburg’s wandering district presents post-punk formation Docile Bodies on Friday, April 21, whose love and talent for ambient, shoegaze and metal evoke the spirit of 80s punk all too well.

This 100% plant-based restaurant is becoming a household name in Tilburg and the surrounding area. Mylkshakes, vegan burgers, beers, biodynamic wine, homemade pastries, you name it.

Immerse yourself in Raphaela Vogel’s world at De Pont Museum for Contemporary Art in Tilburg. This young German artist has taken over the entire museum with her hypnotic, seductive and hybrid installations. Sculpture, painting, experimental videos, and music all flow together to yield a theatrical whole.
“Spending time with Vogel”, writes Frieze Magazine, “feels like an invitation to enter a peculiar multidimensional cosmos which requires learning an entirely new visual vocabulary. Intuitive and non-hierarchical, its methods both DIY and digital. Vogel’s language evokes primordial emotions and instant reactions.”
