Speaker Announcement:
Netherlands at BreakOut West 2022
BreakOut West is your portal from the west to the rest of the world. As territories open up again to showcasing and travel, now is a great time to learn the ins and outs of the most vibrant export markets for Canadian music.
The Netherlands can feel a bit like a Utopia from the outside. The Netherlands ranks among the highest in the world in health, and physical activity, the biggest exporter of flower bulbs by a substantial margin. Bikes outnumber people in Amsterdam, and it is notorious for its legalized recreational drugs including its famous space cakes. It's small but mighty, being one of the most population-dense countries in the world means it can be a vibrant touring circuit with less travel time and it borders. If Europe is in your strategy, the Netherlands should be on top of your list.
