For four years now, Utrecht’s Le Guess Who? festival has managed to programme consistently exciting line-ups that turn the city’s venues into treasure chests of independent music for four days each year. Named after a famous Canadian band from the ’60s, Le Guess Who? had its humble beginnings as a festival which dealt specifically in up-and-coming Canadian bands. In the three years since, organisers have opened the floor to other sonically gifted corners of the world resulting in what might be Le Guess Who’s most international line-up to date.
To celebrate this wonderful festival we've put together an free unofficial yet thoroughly awesome sampler ft bands like Women, Marnie Stern, Ganglians, Baths, Small Black and many more!
