WTF is Sniester?

Quality, originality, and authenticity: Sniester launched in 2014 as an ode to truly great alternative acts. With over 80 bands at nine venues, Sniester will tear through The Hague’s Pop District for two days. Featuring everything that rocks, grinds, and rattles, from emerging to established, local to international, and from electronic indie to ripping guitars.

Sniester has since become a fixture on the Dutch festival calendar, and the third weekend of May guarantees two explosive festival days of alternative music! We’ll conclude the festival weekend on Sunday with Sniester Junior, the free festival day for kids full of mischief!

Coming by bike? Smart move! Park your bike safely and for free at Biesieklette. Be sure to check the opening hours of your bike parking facility.

Raden we niet per se aan, maar mocht het toch écht nodig zijn: parkeren kan bij Q-park!

Public Transport

From The Hague Central Station, take tram 2, 3, 4, or 6 towards the city center. Get off at the Grote Markt stop, right in the heart of the Pop District!

From The Hague Hollands Spoor station, take tram 1, 9, or 16 to the Centrum stop, then walk for a few minutes along Grote Marktstraat until you hear the music.

Trams run until around 1:00 AM, after which night buses are available. Night trains run hourly from The Hague Hollands Spoor to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, Leiden, Rotterdam, Delft, and Utrecht. For more information, check htm.nl and ns.nl.
