Your party schedule will be orange-tinted this month, because King\u2019s Day (27 April) is on its way. A day full of gezelligheid<\/em>, delicious drinks and opportunities to dance, with more King\u2019s Day festivals being hosted than you can shake a stick at. Some festivals are hosted close to home, while others will require some travelling, but hey, long live King Willem-Alexander and free travelling for students!<\/p>\n

Are you in the market for some beers with a real Rotterdam vibe on King Will\u2019s birthday? In that case, there\u2019s only one place to celebrate King\u2019s Day, which is the Kroon Festival<\/a> on Willemsplein, presented by Give Soul<\/a>. A \u20ac 15 ticket will buy you a gorgeous and unique view of the Erasmus Bridge, as well as cheerful house beats by Alle Farben and the by now very well-known Sam Feldt (among other people). Tip for all single male students: according to the latest reports by the festival organisers, the majority of festival attendees will be female! ;-).<\/p>\n

Kralingse Bos Festival<\/h3>

With no fewer than four stages, the Kralingse Bos Festival<\/a> certainly belongs on a list of cool Rotterdam festivals. This festival comprises everything from techno and house to hip hop and R&B. Personally, I\u2019d recommend seeking out the mega cool gigs given at the dagduik<\/em> stage. For \u20ac 25, stars like Marcel Dettman, b2b, Ben Klock and Hendrik Schwartz will rock your socks off. If you feel like taking a stroll and exploring the rest of Kralingen Forest, I\u2019d definitely check out the ever-chill Jazzy Jeff, or perhaps De-Likt, a band who are as mad as a hatter. I\u2019ve ordered sunshine for you guys; it\u2019s up to you now to enjoy plenty of beer and turn this into an unforgettable day out!<\/p>\n

Nassau Festival (Amsterdam)<\/h3>
\"\"

\n\t\n\n<\/svg>\n<\/span>\n\tImage by:<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNassau Festival<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>

The Nassau Festival<\/a>, held at Amsterdam\u2019s Olympic Stadium, is probably the most progressive King\u2019s Day festival for house and techno in their purest forms. For \u20ac 29.50, you\u2019ll be dancing to your favourite tunes. What is special about this festival is the highly varied organisations which will be contributing, each with their own unique stage: STRAF_WERK<\/a>, Reaktor<\/a>, THUMP<\/a> and De Sluwe Vos<\/a>. Since each of these organisations has its own sound, the Nassau Festival will offer a complete array of music styles, with a very powerful combination of happy house and mega hard dark techno. Which leaves us with one question, which is what the dress code will be like \u2013 not an easy question to answer, what with both Reaktor and STRAF_ WERK acts on stage. Will we be dressed in black or will we wear orange and carry red-white-and-blue flags?<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t

Tip of the month: on King\u2019s Day as well as on any other day (and perhaps more so than on most other days), be sure never to lose sight of your drink. Although this is a festive occasion, there will inevitably be malicious persons seeking to spike your drink with GHB or some other sedative drug, which may turn your fun day out into a complete nightmare<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n
