Perifest 2026

On October 3, 2026, Perifest is back! An unforgettable experience, presented by De Perifeer, in collaboration with Nachtparlement. Immerse yourself in a world of experimentation, groundbreaking live shows, boundary-pushing DJ sets, short films, and spectacular light and video art. Together, we are once again creating a unique total experience at multiple locations in Deventer – including the Lebuinus Tower, Bergkerk, MIMIK, Walhalla, and Burgerweeshuis – where art and music merge. Peak early, keep rolling! The program starts in the afternoon and takes you on one long trip through multiple locations and stages in the city of Deventer with an irresistibly challenging program, ultimately leading you deep into the night. The program builds up like a slow rollercoaster that gives you time for wonder and reflection along the way, while you are expertly prepared for the ultimate release in the night. We start literally at great heights on the Lebuinus Tower. After a day full of experimentation, live shows, film, art, and performances spread throughout Deventer, Perifest dives into the night, and De Perifeer and Nachtparlement together host a banging club night in all the halls of Burgerweeshuis. Prepare yourself for a surprising mix of emerging talent and established international artists. Perifest challenges you on all fronts: musically, visually, and everything in between.
