This is no year for doubts and procrastination! If you want to secure a spot for the Blend 2021 (on-site) experience at Pier 15 Breda, you must be fast and determined because there are limited tickets up for grabs!
Just a small recap about how things work this year for Blend – our catwalk of inspiring, progressive and innovative makers.
The on-site festival will take place on 7+8 October at Pier15 (Breda). The main program is divided into 6 parts: Tangible, Morphing Bodies, Story-line, Next Level, Exchange and Beyond. Each compilation program focuses on its own theme and artists and it has limited seats. We also have an outdoor program which is free of charge.
Please note that you’ll be required to show a coronavirus entry pass to enter the venue. For more info go to our FAQ.
What to expect from each block?
