Crossing Border Festival

Spoken Word and Music Fest

Korte Voorhout 3
Den Haag
Den Haag, 2511 CW

Phone: +31 70 346 2355

This phenomenally popular festival bills itself as a celebration of spoken word, but hosts all manner of performance art: from the straight-ahead pop of Crowded House's Neil Finn and Van Dyke Parks, to the darker musical works of Morphine and Grandaddy, to readings from the likes of Roddy Doyle, Jello Biafra and Irvine Welsh. These are only some of the past headliners, of course: hundreds of up-and-coming artists perform at venues in and around the Leidseplein.
