Delft Live

As a creative agency based in Delft, we believe a city like Delft deserves its own city festival. That is why, in 2026, together with numerous partners, entrepreneurs, cultural organisations and volunteers, we set out to make it happen.

On Delft’s historic Market Square, we organised the very first edition of Delft Live: a new city festival that connects local initiatives, creators and entrepreneurs, with a festive music programme as its common thread. The result was a successful first edition that welcomed more than 3,500 visitors.

The programme featured performances by Xander de Buisonjé, Yves Berendse, Martijn Fischer and Billy the Kit, among others. Beyond the music, Delft Live offered much more. Partners and sponsors welcomed their guests on a centrally located VIP deck, while a selection of visitors enjoyed an exclusive shared dining experience by Smokey Goodness on the festival grounds. In collaboration with POPDelft, local talent was given a platform within the programme, while surrounding hospitality venues actively participated in the event. Regional broadcaster Omroep West was present with a multi-camera production and created a full television broadcast of the festival.

Without a doubt, the highlight of the evening was Symphonic Beats, a project that had been more than a year in the making. During this spectacular production, a 70-piece orchestra from the Koninklijke Harmoniekapel Delft, a DJ, 20 choir members from Krashna Musika and five local soloists from Brooklyn Productions brought the greatest dance classics of all time to life. The unique combination of orchestral music, vocals and dance transformed the Market Square into an open-air concert experience unlike anything Delft had seen before.

With Delft Live, the foundation has been laid for a new annual tradition in Delft, and we look forward to continuing to build its future in the years ahead.
