This festival in Rotterdam brings together garage rock bands from all over the world (the Spanish are the wildest). It is held on the third weekend in June at the Waterfront Club. No half hearted bandwagon jumpers, no lame nostalgia geeks, just full on garage rock. Loud, fast, very dumb, but great fun. Tickets cost 70 Euros for the full four nights.
The Waterfront also hosts The Rotterdam Rumble on the first weekend of September, the musical policy is more sleazy rawk'n'roll than garage, 30 Euros for three nights.
