Peel Slowly And See festival

Leiden's most adventurous festival returns to Nobel on Saturday, March 21, 2026. What began as a small-scale concert series has grown into an ambitious multi-day event coordinated by a collective of local programmers and organizers.

This explains the festival's characteristic musical breadth; the curious enthusiast is challenged to broaden their horizons—from the latest UK jazz to crackling electronica, and from unconventional ethnic music and crossover from all other continents to explosive punk—you'll hear it all for the first time at Peel Slowly and See.
