Roodkapje offers a unique multidisciplinary breeding ground for young talent in a dynamic, riotous and multi-voiced program. Our location is both an exhibition venue, concert hall, nightclub and hamburger restaurant. The cultural program happens in every nook and cranny and from noon till the early morning hours. We believe a hamburger can be art and celebrate both the low- and the high brow. We travel beyond existing art forms and break through boundaries and binaries. Roodkapje was founded in Rotterdam in 2000 by Eric den Hartigh. Over the years, Roodkapje has grown into a multidisciplinary platform for presentation and talent support for young artists, musicians, performers and programmers in the heart of Rotterdam. Roodkapje is multi-voiced, energetic and supportive and offers a space to explore, experiment and execute. At Roodkapje you can move from mosh pit to hacking workshop to delicious (vegan) kapsalon. Our program is mostly produced in-house by the residents in the Hamburger Community of Art and Live. This nine-month residency houses six people every year who develop their ideas supported by Roodkapje’s staff, visiting mentors and experts from the cultural field. The artists and event-programmers work together to create interdisciplinary happenings and publications. These ideas are presented directly to our audience, making the public program into an experimental test-site for unpredictable and unprecedented accidents. Next to the Hamburger Community, Roodkapje works closely together with co-producers and local partners that fit within our vision and who mentor the residents. FOEF, Kampung, Futura Resistenza, Hocus Bogus Publishing. Roodkapje consists of a small team of cultural enthusiasts. Together, we work hard to maintain and further develop the creative playground that is Roodkapje. Read about Roodkapje here: https://roodkapje.org

Frank Hurricane

Frank Hurricane is a legendary figure on the DIY touring circuit, one of America’s great storytellers and a one-of-a-kind person.

Described as “John Fahey turned extremely posi-juggalo,” he’s a mystical troubadour of the American underbelly and a folk-blues singer-songwriter with incredible fingerstyle guitar chops. His songs vividly and irreverently (but also reverently!) depict a very specific corner of the Appalachian underbelly — tri-state Appalachian Trail rats and more.

His new album Southern Shrymp (In The Big City) was released March 27, 2026. Previous singles include “Cinnamon of the Mountains,” “Taylor and Rhonda,” “HolyMichael (Loves the Birds),” and “Lucky King Prawn.” His PBS mini-documentary earned an Emmy nomination.

He’s currently recording new material with indie legend Karl Blau and maintains his reputation as a DIY touring hero.

Knip Uw Haar

Mysterious lo-fi folk straight out of the “Wyrd Bruges scene.” jele tests the boundaries of anti-music, folk and soundscapes. Sounds like a musical universe somewhere between Abner Jay and Steely Dan. Knip Uw Haar is the solo project of Jelle Vos, who sometimes thinks about switching to a different band name but ends up sticking with it anyway. Maarten Derous, Lucy Lu and Neil Haesebrouck recently joined as well. So Lucy cut Maarten’s hair and Neil his mustache.

The Postpeople
postpeople is a band born in Rotterdam in 2016, made up of Daniel Tuomey and Tracy Hanna. Both based in Rotterdam and both graduates from the Piet Zwart Institute, they work mainly with writing, reading and communication. Through various sonic and performance strategies, they spread a single deconstructed creative process across two bodies and a series of technologies.

Daniel builds noisy, complicated narratives from personal history, politics and storytelling, using drawing, furniture, sound and installations.

Tracy’s work is more of a noisy meditation on punk, DIY and i

While Roodkapje is closed for August, our lovely neighbors Brutus Art Space are hosting Roffa Mon Amour in their garden: a summer film festival with open-air screenings, talks, music, and more.
We’ve picked three films from this year’s programme that we’d love to recommend:

California 💕
Caught between first loves, post-punk records and dreams of California, 17-year-old Estela’s life takes an unexpected turn in 1980s São Paulo.
Director in attendance!

What will I become? 💕
Drawing from their own experiences and love for their community, directors Lexie and Logan pay tribute to two trans boys lost to su***de, and to everyone they left behind who continues to live, love, and remember.

The Best summer 💕
A nostalgic trip back to the golden age of ‘90s alternative rock, featuring Beastie Boys, Sonic Youth, Foo Fighters, Pavement, Rancid, Beck, The Amps, and Bikini Kill.

See you there? We miss you xx

Na groot succes is Geen Woorden Maar Draken terug! Een avond vol Dungeons & Dragonsplezier, live show en een heus ‘Heroes Feast’ door Chef Paul Smullenberg.

Speciaal voor Roodkapje komen er een gepaste en sensationele live show met bijpassend diner van chef Paul. Je kunt een avond vol entertainment, hapjes en drankjes verwachten terwijl Geen Woorden Maar Draken je mee neemt in een wel heel toepasselijk verhaal...

DINNER + LIVESHOW: Doors 17:30, start 18:00
LIVESHOW ONLY: Doors 19:30, start 20:00

Fri 18.09 | 20:30 | Minorie presents: Katya Shirshkova & Koude | 10 euro 🦋

Minorie presents the fringes of folk and experimental music with: Katya Shirshkova, Koude

Katya Shirshkova:
Born in Siberia but based in France, Katya Shirshkova uses her own voice to create hypnotizing polyphonic harmonies with layered compositions and dense performances.

Koude:
The subdued music of Koude draws from meandering folk, slowcore, ambient and drone, folding these elements together with a quiet patience that resists easy categorization.

Minorie is a label and concert series operating at the fringes of folk and experimental music

B-day bake off, cheerleading course, Photo Booth, Talent show, merch making, pub quiz and dancing the night away! More info on our website (link in bio

during August Roodkapje = closed
we’re back in September after a month-long recalibration🫂💋

Every month we ask a Rotterdam-based artist to illustrate a print.
This month we got a beautiful print by Carmen José (Carmen José Quintanilla "Mujeres Libres" rotterdam).

Since there is no program in August we want to create a bit more space on our monthly calendar to not only distribute this month’s art, but also share some more about the background of the print and the words.

“In a system that views human bodies as a tool for production and labor resting is a counter narrative” - Tricia Hersey

“Rest Is Resistance” is a term, manifesto, philosophy, method, book, practice, by Tricia Hersey from The Nap Ministry. As a Black woman in America suffering from generational exhaustion and racial trauma slowing down and taking naps has been a pivotal part of her resistance strategy.

Find our flyer around the city!

✨ Tomorrow (29.07) is our last show before the break by Nospray ARSE and .band

After this we’re looking forward to opening our doors again in september! 💋💋 Roodkapje

Today from 12:00 until 23:00 we have a one-day only immersive sound-installation by our HCA residents of 2026!

Here are some clips from their operator show as a little sneak peek…

𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓗𝓸𝓾𝓼𝓮 𝓡𝓮𝓶𝓮𝓶𝓫𝓮𝓻𝓼

Amplified Histories is an experimental session in listening, hearing and feeling stories from unheard voices. We invite our visitors to encounter a collection of handmade and speculative audio speakers: everyday objects built to experience what sound can do when it moves from and through surfaces, walls, ceilings but also bodies.

Free entrance, come meet our residents
