This explains the distinctive broad spectrum of genres represented at the annual event. At Peel Slowly and See, the curious music enthusiast explores new horizons; from the latest, buzzing UK-jazz groups, to crackling indietronica, intriguing ethnic music and wayward guitar-bands. Nobody leaves the festival without discovering something out of their regular musical comfort zone, including the performing artists. That’s a promise.

“Het Leidse festival Peel Slowly And See heeft zich in tien jaar ontwikkeld tot een evenement waar de voorhoede van de underground uit pop, jazz en elektronische muziek voor het voetlicht treedt.”
“Het is moeilijk niet een heel klein beetje verliefd te worden op het Leidse festival Peel Slowly And See. Het afgelopen weekeinde werd de liefhebber er verwend met een uitgelezen programma vol contrasten, waaronder absolute topacts. En dat in een setting waar menig festival jaloers op mag zijn. Je zou zo maar je hart verliezen aan Leiden.”
“It takes a skill to peel the culture back slowly and sift through the narrative and thread together a concise story and the weekend has been a thrilling snapshot of where we are at with the current adventure into sound.”
