OH MY! in Rotterdam is only logicalΒ
With OH MY! heading to Rotterdam, the city will once again host a multi-day R&B, hip-hop, rap & afrobeats festival. Ufuk Baydar, CEO of OH MY! Festival, explains that the move to Rotterdam is only logical: βRotterdam has always been street culture minded, itβs the city where hip-hop grew and is popular. The city is multicultural, with more than 170 nationalities, so a large R&B, hip-hop, rap and afrobeats festival fits the city. It’s a perfect match.β OH MY! Festival has been around since 2016. World-famous entertainers like Wiz Khalifa, Trey Songz, Roddy Rich, Ne-Yo and Meek Mill have performed.
For international festival promoter ALDA, who has recently taken an interest in OH MY! Festival, De Kuip was their first choice. βDe Kuip is an iconic location. Not just for people from Rotterdam, but throughout the Netherlands and beyond,β says Allan Hardenberg, CEO and Co-Founder of ALDA. βI attended my first Madonna concert here as a 15-year-old. Michael Jackson, Prince and The Notorious B.I.G. have even performed here. We are very proud to host one of our largest and most important festivals at this location.”
