The term “left of the dial” is taken from a Replacements song and refers to the college and other non-commercial FM radio stations in the U.S., with frequencies typically in the reserved band on the left (i.e. lower) end of the FM broadcast band of the radio spectrum. It is such an appropriate name then for this multi-venue festival set in the centre of Rotterdam.
Also announced is the addition of two stages curated by So Young and Nospray.
So Young is the UK magazine offering the coolest upcoming bands from the UK their first platform. The fact that Left Of The Dial and So Young are both notorious early adopters makes this collaboration a dream of a match to present the latest crop of iconic bands.
Nospray is a Rotterdam DIY collective looking to put the most alluring artists on the stage. Think punk, think post-punk, think garage rock, think new wave and think of everything that falls between the cracks.
