The Kommus society organizes a great party at the lush gardens of Geldrop Castle (Kasteel Geldrop), on June 30/july 1, for free!
All kind of tribute bands will pay respect some of the greatest bands on earth, and food, drinks and a special area for the kids complete this great festival.
Eindhoven used to have their own castle for hundreds of years during the middle ages, however this got constantly attacked by jealous rivals and ruined various time.. so in the 17th century Eindhoven decided then to build a monastery instead, to attract less hostile visitors- But some of the neighbouring cities still host historic castles, often open to the public. Some examples are Heeze, Helmond, and hence Geldrop.
This Castle (in the city center, hence very easy to reach, and can even be combined with grocery shopping, also on Sundays), now hosts a great festival where renown cover bands pay tribute to their favorite bands, with huge passion, skill and energy. The music is very diverse, so im sure you will find several bands worthwhile watching (from ABBA to Metallica from George Michael to Dutch legends).
It’s the 4th time this festival takes place, and the organisers from KommuS are very excited to have the best line-up ever. That’s why you are very welcome to make sure it a huge a success and will be continued in the years to come. As the festival is free, you can make donations, to ensure the continuity, but also buying lots of the nice food and cool drinks will benefit the festival, sounds like a win-win to us!
