Out in Utrecht: Lepeltje Lepeltje, Festival Tweetakt and karaoke in the Jacobikerk

The sun is shining, it’s almost the weekend and Utrecht is bursting with events. Lepeltje Lepeltje is back in town after two years, Festival Tweetakt is there for the next two weeks and Cultural Sunday is moving into the neighbourhood. More in the mood to dance into the late hours? In TivoliVredenburg you can (learn to) dance dabke!

New edition

None other than Stanley Brinks and his mademoiselle Freschard will be on stage on Sunday during a new edition of dB’s Buiten. It may not mean anything to you, but you’re sold as soon as you start listening. Beautiful pop songs, with the characteristic voice of Stanley Brinks. Songs about drink, cigarettes, (lost) loves and general existential despair. “Will be beautiful, guaranteed”, promises dBs. So don’t think of a reason to stay at home.

Cultural Sunday: The Neighborhood Unpacks – New and Old Hoograven

My Motion holds dance demonstrations, Billbunker gives an intense rock concert, there is a freestyle football clinic and the Utrecht rapper KEEK and his band take you on a show full of extremes; fragile, modest, but also full of energy and groovy.

The Rotterdam quartet Lewsberg loves literature; the band named itself after cult writer Robert Loesberg and once released a single titled Non-fiction Writer. Now there is a new album, full of songs that are a combination of post-punk, casual indie and spoken-word-esque English lyrics with a heavy Dutch accent. They were already in ACU, but are now back in Utrecht; at EKKO! The support act is provided by SOON.
