EXTRA MANY EXTRAS
Left of the Dial is more than just music. On the website you will find all the Extra Extras that you can experience during the festival, such as:
BANDS ON A BOAT
Bands on a Boat is the ideal way to see Rotterdam at its best. On Friday and Saturday afternoon, Left of the Dial welcomes you aboard Boot3 to take a trip on the Maas. In about an hour you can admire our skyline while drinking as much soda/beer/wine as you want. And more importantly: there are two Left of the Dial bands playing while we sail, it doesn't get any better than that!
DINE LIKE A STAR
During Left of the Dial you can sit in the backstage dining room to eat together with other festival goers and the artists. The fastest and most enjoyable way to get started before heading into the festival.
INTEGRATION COURSE
We want everyone to feel at home in Rotterdam, even if they are only there for a weekend. That's why we offer a shortened integration course to explain how gabber came about, what you get on your plate when you order a hair salon and - most importantly - how to use the word "joh" correctly. Specially intended for our international guests, but also fun for (new) Rotterdammers!
MUCH MORE
Then we also have the Karaoke Bar (for those who also like to sing), a rock etiquette course (for those who could use a refresher course on how to behave in the pit), special visuals, a treasure hunt, an afterparty , discounts at local stores, the famous Left of the Dial afterparties and much more. And the great thing is: you don't have to do anything, if you just come to watch bands, that's fine too!
