In it you’ll find a wide variety of (pop)music organisations from the Euregion part of Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands. Pop in Limburg (NL), PXL-Music (BE) and popNRW (DE) all endorse the significance of a strong Euregional cooperation and extension of collective projects. They reinforce the professionalization and internationalisation of talented bands, musicians, DJs & producers and their professional entourage from the Belgian and Dutch provinces of Limburg, Liege and North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. In 2018 these three organisations introduced the Euregion Music Exchange programme, which gave three talented popmusic acts the chance to cross the border and perform for new audiences. This provided the possibility to – among other things – extend networks and learn how the pop sector operates abroad. To sum up the main goals of this programme: • Creating an exchange between musicians of the regions Dutch Limburg, Belgian Limburg and the German part North Rhine-Westphalia. • Introducing and acquainting the participators with each others pop culture. • Exchanging information and influencing each other creatively on a musical, artistic and professional level. • To gain knowledge about the functioning of the pop field in different regions. • To create and extend an Euregional network with relevant music and business contacts. • To stimulate a (long lasting) collaboration between the three participating acts, originating from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, which contributes to new chances and possibilities across the borders for all acts. And now we’re delighted to present the third edition of our Guide. It includes a large number of new venues and festivals. Like the first two editions, this publication undoubtedly contains some errors and omissions. And because the rock & pop scene is changing constantly, guides like these soon become out of date. So let us know (*) what we’ve left out and where we’ve made mistakes. There’s always room for improvement! And let’s keep moving onwards and upwards towards closer collaboration.
