Denovali Swingfest – Experimental Music Festival
Not limited to one musical genre, Denovali Swingfest offers a diverse range of music styles from darker experimental sounds, ambient, drone, indie and electronica to darkjazz, jazz or piano and string driven modern compositions.

The festival takes place on 4 days: from October 3rd (Thursday) until October 6th (Sunday) 2013 at the WeststadtHalle in Essen/Germany. This edition will feature 21 artists from 10 countries on the 3 regular days (Friday-Sunday) and a pre-event with 2 artists on Thursday. As always their sets will be as long as a real club show (around an hour). The ticket preorder has already started.
