For those who don’t want to call it a day at 20:00 hrs, the after-party will continue at Café Cobbus, where ASML bands will rock. It will be a day for both the fresh and experienced in age, yes, we mean for kids and adults alike.
In Veldhoven, we can welcome many new people who often come from diverse countries and cultures. We believe music can and should be an important connecting factor between “existing and new Veldhoven residents”. That is why we want to offer a stage to the beautiful diversity of cultures that Veldhoven has to offer,” the organisers of Veldhovens Muziek Korps.
