Appelpop is een gratis toegankelijk festival op de Waalkade in Tiel. Het festival is vanaf 1992 uitgegroeid tot het grootste muziekfestival in zijn soort met internationale bekendheid. Elk tweede weekend van september is het voor veel bezoekers dé afsluiter van het festivalseizoen. Op vrijdag 8 en zaterdag 9 september 2023 vindt de 𝟑𝟎𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞 plaats.

Appelpop kenmerkt zich door de brede programmering van bands uit de top van de Nederlandse muziekindustrie, kwaliteit uit het popzalen-circuit en regionaal talent. Naast muziek op de podia en een festivalmarkt zijn er ook diverse andere activiteiten te doen, zoals een Silent Disco en een grote vrijdagmiddagborrel.

Paradise City wasn’t built by itself. It’s the result of hard work by countless volunteers before, during and even after the festival. Together, we envision what a city of the future can look like with people working hand in hand to create something truly amazing.

For every citizen on the dance floor having the time of his life, there’s someone who made this happen behind the curtains. As a volunteer, you are super precious to us, as you directly represent the festival to our festivalgoers. You can get involved in nearly all the activities needed to make Paradise City run flawlessly, from the build up before the festival to the breakdown after it. During the festival you can get involved at the info booth, the camping, the kitchens or the bars, the activities are countless and that’s why we need YOU! Engage yourself and do not hesitate ;-)

You choose, we adapt!
Depending on your motivation and availability, you can help out for 1 day and up to 3 weeks.

Working as a volunteer is also a great opportunity to learn about Paradise City from the inside out, to get out of your daily routine, sharpen your skills, develop new ones and create a special bond with your fellow volunteers.
Learn how to work in a team, discover a new universe, meet new people and of course have lots of fun! You'll see, the people and atmosphere are insanely chill.

With over 600 dedicated volunteers working throughout the summer, we definitely need a lot of helping hands to make it happen!

If you feel like helping us build Paradise City, you can register as a volunteer right here.

And why not bring a friend with you? « Alone, I go faster; together, we go further »

Do you got some spare time in June and/or July, a lot of energy, motivation and a desire to make something cool? We guarantee a great experience :)

Mechelen staat bekend om zijn rijke muzikale tradities en heeft een lange geschiedenis van beiaardconcerten. De beiaardier, een ware meester van zijn instrument, laat je tijdens de zomer elke maandagavond genieten van de harmonieën van de beiaard.

Last summer, we were finally able to welcome you back with open arms. This year, the greenest urban festival in the country is getting ready for its 32st edition. On the 23th, 24th and 25th of June 2023, the breathtaking Osseghem Park near the Atomium will welcome a diverse mix of established and emerging hip-hop, soul, funk, reggae and world artists, dozens of DJ’s on 4 surprising stages, countless experiences and culinary highlights, an enchanting decoration and 70,000 beautiful people who perfectly represent the diversity of Belgium. Couleur Café is more than a festival, it is a journey around the globe that’ll keep you dreaming for the rest of the year. Discover more on the website..

Couleur Café festival is organized by the non-profit association Zig Zag, founded in 1989. Its main goal is the development of cultural projects, focusing on arts, solidarity and an open-minded spirit.

Thanks for choosing Couleur Café!
As usual, this year we are looking for as much volunteers as possible to join our team!

Some useful information:
• you need to be available at least during the 3 festival days
• for administrative reasons, we cannot work with people under 16 years old
• you dispose of a solid motivation
• you must be present for the briefing that will take place on Wednesday or Thursday (check description of your sector of choice.)

The novelty this year is that we are also looking for people during the setup of the festival! You can find more information about this on this webpage.

For our upcoming Horst Expo, 10 contemporary artists are creating in-situ work. The program titled "Where the wild things are" meanders through the ruins of the Asiat military base, and hopes to take people on a journey in this new city district, to propose ideas and inspiration on how we can all shape the cities we live in.

Even though we strive to make our contemporary art commissions as accessible as possible, a guided experience is always a plus! We are therefore looking for dynamic exhibition guides who are willing to translate the artists' intentions and backstories, into an energetic 1-hour walk, to welcome and inform visitors and transport them into the world of the exhibition.

More info on the Horst Expo can be found here
