# Le Guess Who?

Le Guess Who? is een jaarlijks muziekfestival in de Nederlandse stad Utrecht. Het festival bestaat sinds 2007 en vindt in november plaats op verschillende plekken in de stad, waaronder TivoliVredenburg, EKKO, Janskerk en Theater Kikker. Ook werfkelders, kerken en oude fabriekspanden worden gebruikt om de artiesten te laten optreden. Het festival richt zich met name op het presenteren van nieuwe bands. In 2019 trok het festival 20.000 bezoekers uit 61 verschillende landen.

## Geschiedenis

Le Guess Who? is ontstaan uit de gedeelde fascinatie van de programmeurs Johan Gijsen en Bob van Heur voor de muziekwereld van het Canadese Montreal. De eerste editie vond plaats aan het einde van 2007 in poppodium Tivoli.
De naam van het festival toont nog de oorspronkelijke band met Canada. Aldus Johan Gijsen: “De naam is een afgeleide van The Guess Who, een Canadese band uit de jaren zeventig die een hit scoorde met American Woman. Veel mensen dachten dat de band uit Amerika kwam. Het is een fout die ook nu nog bij Canadese bands gemaakt wordt. Daarnaast vertelt de naam dat er iets uit te checken valt.”
Aanvankelijk richtte het festival zich exclusief op bands afkomstig uit Canada. Met de line-up van de derde editie, in 2009, werd deze traditie minder strikt genomen en traden er ook bands uit andere landen op. In 2010, bij de vierde editie, werd het uitgangspunt van slechts Canadese avant-garde-muziek geheel losgelaten en gingen de programmeurs zich op avant-garde muziek van over de gehele wereld richten.
Behalve optredens van bands en DJ’s presenteert Le Guess Who? ook projecten; dit gebeurt vaak in samenwerking met andere partijen. Te denken valt aan exposities van werk van popfotografen, tekenaars, video- en geluidskunstenaars. Daarnaast worden er lezingen gegeven en live interviews gehouden.
Organisaties die ooit aan het programma van Le Guess Who? een bijdrage hebben geleverd, zijn onder andere: Subbacultcha!, Beep! Beep! Back Up The Truck, Wereldfeest, Club 3VOOR12 Utrecht.
De eerste jaren breidde het festival ieder jaar met een dag uit. In 2007 duurde het festival twee dagen, in 2008 drie, in 2009 vier, in 2010 vijf en in 2011 weer drie dagen.
In 2013 won Le Guess Who? het "IJzeren Podiumdier" voor beste Festival van 2012. Deze prijs werd uitgereikt door het VNPF (Vereniging Nederlandse Poppodia en Festivals) tijdens Eurosonic Noorderslag. Voor 2014 won het deze prijs in de categorieën beste festival en beste programmeur. In 2016 kreeg het festival een meerjarige subsidie van 125.000 euro per jaar van het Fonds Podiumkunsten.

## Le Guess Who? May Day en Le Mini Who?

Le Guess Who? heeft in de loop der jaren twee zusterfestivals ontwikkeld.
Le Guess Who? May Day werd in mei 2012, 2013 en 2014 georganiseerd. Le Guess Who? May Day is de eendaagse voorjaarseditie van Le Guess Who? en vond plaats op verschillende locaties in Utrecht, waaronder Tivoli, EKKO en ACU. Sinds 2015 bestaat Le Guess Who? May Day niet meer. De organisatie wilde zich volledig gaan focussen op de volwaardige november-edities.
Le Mini Who? vond voor het eerst plaats tijdens Le Guess Who? 2011. Op dit gratis zusterfestival spelen opkomende nationale en internationale artiesten in platenzaken, koffiebarretjes, bars en cafés, kledingzaken en (kunst)galeries op en rondom de Voorstraat te Utrecht.
