RICHIE BACKFIREPLEIN

For 2025, the Midsummer Prog Festival finds its home at Richie Backfireplein in the Muziekgieterij Courtyard, Maastricht—a venue reimagined by organisers Rob Palmen and Ingo Dassen to echo the magic of Valkenburg’s Openlucht Amphitheatre. This open-air courtyard, nestled within Maastricht’s historic embrace, blends intimacy and grandeur with its lush acoustics and starlit ambiance. Rob and Ingo have poured their passion into crafting a space that feels both epic and close-knit, ensuring the progressive spirit soars as powerfully as ever against the city’s enchanting skyline.

Maastricht, Netherlands

Step into a city where history and creativity intertwine. Maastricht’s cobblestone streets, medieval bridges, and centuries-old buildings—like the striking St. Servatius Basilica—create a backdrop that feels both ancient and alive. Just steps from the Muziekgieterij Courtyard, you’ll wander past quaint cafés and boutique shops, soaking in a European charm that perfectly complements the festival’s dreamy, progressive spirit.

The best locally produced food & drink

Inside the festival you will find a range of hot and cold food, alongside a great selection of soft drinks, beers and more.
