In one varied evening, Cross-linx connects composed new music and artists from the avant-garde pop scene. Cross-linx doesn’t just steer from the trodden path in a figurative way: the festival also finds musical adventures on unusual places within concert halls.
Cross-linx takes place in four cities in the Netherlands on four consecutive days. All artists perform on all four nights.
Previous editions of the festival saw acts performing such as Ane Brun, Hauschka, Nils Frahm, Patrick Watson, Son Lux, Ólafur Arnalds, The National, Mark Lanegan, Nico Muhly, Owen Pallett, Squarepusher, Efterklang, The Ex, José González, My Brightest Diamond, Spinvis, Bryce Dessner, Andrew Bird and Yann Tierssen, They co-operated with ensembles such as Asko|Schönberg, Metropole Orkest, Lunatree, Holland Baroque Society and Amsterdam Sinfonietta.
Cross-linx is a partner from De Kunst van Brabant, BrabantFestivals en European project C3IC. In 2017 the “C3 Roadshow” brought four outstanding artistic projects to Cross-linx (the Netherlands), Tallinn Music Week (Estonia) and Sound of Stockholm (Sweden).
