Rotterdam meets London on the Barbican stage for a vibrant showcase of emerging and established artists from both cities.

Expect live music, fresh collaborations and a mix of sounds shaped by two distinct but deeply connected music scenes.

Bringing together artists from Rotterdam and London, the showcase is about more than performance - it is a space for exchange, discovery and new creative connections.

This edition marks a special collaboration with Take Five alumni (Serious) and Tomorrow's Warriors - two UK organisations at the forefront of talent development, both known for nurturing some of the country's most exciting emerging musicians. Their involvement deepens the exchange at the heart of the showcase, forging new connections and collaborations between artists in the UK and the Netherlands.

Presented by House of Knowledge, a Rotterdam-based platform supporting artists through mentorship, performance, cross-border collaboration and community-led learning, as part of a wider artist exchange between Rotterdam and London.
