Popwalk Groningen / ESNS tells the story of ESNS and Groningen as a pop city. The walk goes back to the beginning, when the festival started as a musical showdown between the Netherlands and Belgium, and follows its growth into Noorderslag and later Eurosonic. Along the way, the route takes you past venues where artists made their breakthrough, pubs where musicians and programmers met, and streets where unexpected performances took place. From legendary concerts to infamous beer showers and from world stars in small venues to local heroes on the verge of a breakthrough.
The podwalk is available in two languages. The Dutch version is narrated by NPO 3FM DJ Eva Cleven. The English version features the voice of Simone Angel, one of MTV's first presenters.
