Australian Hammond virtuoso Lachy Doley & Irish pop duo Hudson Taylor are the first names to be announced.
Diplomat Magazine is proud to announce that on Saturday September 3rd 2016, the fourth edition of the freely accessible Embassy Festival will take place at the Lange Voorhout in The Hague. The Embassy Festival offers visitors a journey through more than 25 different countries in only one day.
Take a walk from Peru to Pakistan, cross over to Vietnam and walk around the corner to visit Kenya. The participating embassies will fill a pavilion with typical products from their countries, showcasing traditional dances or contributing to the musical program, on one of the two outdoor stages.
At the Embassy Festival, you will come across a multitude of cultures. You will get a chance to witness performances by international talent you won’t want to miss.
A variety of sensational acts, both modern and classic, will make a visit to the Embassy Festival, making it worthwhile for all music lovers. There are acts that have played at the Embassy festival, that are now thriving on big stages.
Last year, the formation Con Brio from San Francisco played an impressive set at the Embassy Festival. It was only last weekend that they received great reviews from their performance at the renowned North Sea Jazz Festival.
That is how quickly things can go, so make sure you visit the music stages on September 3rd as you might discover the next big thing.
Like previous years, you will be able to see surprising acts with great potential at the fourth edition of the Embassy Festival. The Australian ‘most celebrated Hammond artist’ Lachy Doley has been compared to Jimi Hendrix in his home country. Get inspired by Lachy Doley’s rock and blues sound, as well as his dark and raspy, but crystal-clear voice.
The Irish pop duo Hudson Taylor have already earned recognition in Ireland with their EP ‘Battles’ hitting the charts. Now it’s time for them to conquer The Hague with their folky pop songs.
In addition to the music programme, the Embassy Festival aims to broaden our knowledge of the different cultures and their traditions through several activities that are set up in the ‘Creative Area’. There will also be a special programme for children.
The ‘Country Pavilions’ offer visitors an opportunity to taste different flavours from all around the world. Feel, taste and discover an array of cultures. Experience all of this at the picturesque and stately décor of the Embassy Festival’s location, the Lange Voorhout.
The Hague is a truly international city. With the presence of the embassies, NGO’s and multinational corporations, the city is continuously connected to the world. The fourth edition of the Embassy Festival showcases a beautiful collection of international cultures that can be seen, heard and tasted.
The Embassy Festival is organised by PROOOST, the agency that is also the driving force behind the successful ‘THE LIFE I LIVE’ festival. Diplomat Magazine has been a partner of Embassy Festival since the very first edition. The festival is financially supported by the Municipality of The Hague Economic Department and Office for International Affairs and receives the support of the official Representation of the European Commission in the Netherlands.
