Roots of the Hague music scene
Young Talent In The Park is an initiative of Podium Aan Zee, Ready To Play and Zuiderparktheater. Together, they are building a breeding ground for young musical talent from the region of The Hague. The festival follows on directly from the successful Haags Beat Festival, where we celebrate the rich musical history of The Hague and give new heroes a stage.

At the Hague Beat Festival, old rockers are honoured, while Young Talent in the Park acts as a breeding ground for new Hague heroes. In cooperation with Podium Aan Zee (organiser Haags Beat) and Ready To Play, we want this new tradition to take place for the first time next summer in 2024. After all, everything used to happen in Escamp: bands in the cellars and rehearsals at Musicon. The Hague music scene was firmly rooted in the district. The Hague Beat Festival is already celebrating this, and with the link to the young budding musicians, young and old meet in the Zuiderparktheater, which is in the middle of the district where so many bands from The Hague started.
