Any Amsterdam local who likes ‘indie’ pop and rock music already knows the bi-annual festival London Calling, so I won’t bore you all with a long introduction. The festival which once upon a time brought bands like Blur, Bloc Party and The Libertines to Amsterdam before they made it big, is back on 12+13 November. Just have a look at their track record and see for yourself that the programmers are in touch with all the trends. Passe-partouts are sold-out already but there are still day tickets. My advice? Go for day two with psychedelic rockers Tame Impala and lo-fi noise-rocker Wavves among others.

Day1: North Atlantic Oscillation, Villagers, Ratatat, The Futureheads, We Are Scientists, Frankie & The Heartstrings, Is Tropical
Day2: Tame Impala, Wavves, Beach Fossils, Warpaint, Lulu & the Lampshades, The Rumour Said Fire, Good Shoes, Yuck, Race Horses, Factory Floor

Bands in bold are ones I enjoy. Bands not in bold I probably just still need to discover. More good music? Check out our Spotify playlist. Below are two multi song videos from Tame Impala and Wavves for you to check out:
