Freedom City 8 Festival

Freedom City 8 Festival

Dance battles & hiphop shows with local and international talent

The weekend of 13-16 June we’re turning the city of Utrecht into an international hub for hiphop. Freedom City 8 brings you 4 days of dance battles and music. Whether it’s on the big stage in the club or outside on the streets: we come together and celebrate street dance culture and other hiphop artforms. For anyone who is passionate about dance music and the community!

Dancers from all over the world come to Utrecht to compete in various dance battles. A mix of different street and club styles (such as hiphop breaking and krump) will bring a diverse showcase of both graceful and explosive movements. The winners will be chosen by a jury of world-renowned dancers from both the Netherlands and abroad. 

Local and international music artists showcase their skills on the mic making the whole room bounce and serving us everything from that classic boombap sound to the latest trap and drill energy.

Beyond the battles and shows you’ll also find:

🔹 Hiphop Theater Night

🔹 Afterparty to dance your heart out

🔹 Open dance workshops (for all levels and ages)

🔹 A lifestyle market where you can score fresh sneakers and vintage clothing

🔹 And most importantly: the signature community vibe that hiphop culture shares with everyone!
