MOMO Festival is one of the best known and most intimate festivals in Rotterdam. The festival brings together multiple forms of art – from music to dance – at different locations in the heart of the city.
MOMO is a festival of contrasts, with the always raucous Rotterdam in the background. Motel Mozaïque (MOMO) takes over Rotterdam again with an art, performance, and music program at special locations in the city. MOMO always delivers a jam-packed program of art, performances, tours, talks, and surprises.
When does the next edition of MOMO Festival take place?
The next edition of the MOMO (Motel Mozaique) Festival takes place on 17 – 19 April 2025. MOMO Festival will once again take over Rotterdam, featuring a programme of art, music, and performance. There will also be special residencies on display, and you can participate in the MOMO Guided Tours to get to know the city of Rotterdam through different eyes. More information about the MOMO Festival line-up will be announced in the coming period. Tickets are available on the MOMO website.
What is MOMO Festival Rotterdam?
As the original name (Motel Mozaique) implies, MOMO Festival is a mosaic of music, art, and culture. The first edition was held in 2001 and in the two decades since, it has only got bigger and better. The MOMO Festival is held at different locations in Rotterdam's city centre; in theatres, cafés, concert halls, clubs and (former) churches. From daring art performances to unique guided city tours; MOMO is a unique festival that not only brings music to the city, but in a way, also brings the city closer to itself. Past editions of the festival featured up-and-coming superstars such as Luke Sital-Singh and George Ezra.
