About Le Guess Who?
With the motto of Listening is the Way Forward, Le Guess Who? is widely considered to be one of the most forward-thinking festivals around, celebrated for presenting groundbreaking music in inspiring ways. Here, artists from all over the world offer new perspectives on what is possible in music and, collectively, provide insight into the awe-inspiring diversity of human creativity.
Over the years, Le Guess Who? has grown into a leading international festival. In 2025, visitors from 52 different countries travelled to Utrecht in November to attend the festival. Our mission:
From 5-8 November 2026, Le Guess Who? once again takes over the city of Utrecht, with over 150 artists performing in pop venues, theaters, churches, clubs, warehouses, and more. U? is our freely accessible city program, celebrating local and creative communities. COSMOS is our hybrid platform where vibrant music communities from around the world share their stories through mixtapes, film, live radio, conversations and performances.
