What happens when Ralf Koopman takes his microphone to the Noorderplantsoen? Exactly: open conversations, unexpected stories and a look behind the scenes with the artists of the Apollo stage. Especially for Noorderzon, his VERA Weekly podcast moves from the attic of VERA to the festival grounds. Also this year Ralf Koopman will talk to various musicians who play at Noorderzon in the VERA Weekly x Noorderzon podcasts. Also known by his digital and DJ alter ego theRalfenatorX, he gets to grips with the bands playing at VERA every week in his internet talk show VERA Weekly. Especially for Noorderzon he leaves the VERA attic and parks himself on the Kastanjeveld terrace in the Noorderplantsoen with the artist who is playing at the Apollo or in the Spiegeltent that evening. Keep an eye on our socials for which artists will be joining him. Do you have a burning question that you really need the answer to?
