Freedom City is back for the seventh year in a row, taking place over the weekend of September 20-22. The largest Hip Hop festival in Utrecht, with events at TivoliVredenburg, De Helling, Theater Kikker, and a club night at EKKO, brings you the best dance battles, DJ sets, and live performances. Freedom City celebrates Hip Hop culture, where the energy of the streets and the stage come together. During Freedom City 7, we fill the city with talented dancers and rappers from all over the world, eager to share their skills and passion with you. We celebrate the freedom of self-expression and provide space for everyone to be who they are.
With a broader program than ever, dance and music are used to break down barriers and connect people. Enjoy spectacular dance battles, theater performances, and live shows at the Freedom City Festival. Renowned international talent shares the stage with local artists, all coming together to vibrant beats! Talented DJs spin the most danceable genres like Hip Hop, funk, house, disco, and much more.

The annual Freedom City Festival moves from the streets to the theater. Local and international creators transform their freestyles from the battle floor into exciting choreographies and intuitive movements. Hip Hop culture thrives in Utrecht and now also at Theater Kikker. The Freedom City Festival brings a diverse mix of dance and music, where the raw energy and creativity of the streets meet the sophistication of the theater.
