Secretarial Staff Member

POP PODIUM SLEEPING BEAUTY  

Doornroosje has been the premier music venue in Nijmegen and the surrounding area for over 50 years. From pop, rock, and hip-hop to techno, metal, and jazz: Doornroosje is the place to be for live shows. In addition to its main venue on Stationsplein, Doornroosje also operates the smaller Merleyn music venue and is a (co-)organizer of festivals such as Oranjepop, Bevrijdingsfestival Nijmegen, Valkhof Festival, and Het Nest. With a small but powerful core team and a skilled, driven, and highly flexible support staff, nearly 500 events are organized each year, reaching more than 350,000 music lovers. Just like pop music itself, Doornroosje is constantly evolving and far from reaching its full potential. Doornroosje places a high value on quality, professionalism, and respect, and maintains an open and informal work atmosphere. A love for music is the common thread that binds us all. We Do Music!
