"Rewire lives up to its reputation as the festival for discovery in the Netherlands" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - NRC
“One of Europe’s go-to destinations for forward-thinking and exploratory music of all shades and colours.” - Crack Magazine
"Much like Rewire as a whole, this is art that makes you feel alive." - The Wire
“Het Haagse festival Rewire bewijst dat de spannendste muziek van nu buiten de hokjes valt” - de Volkskrant
"Geen ander evenement biedt zoveel diversiteit en leidt tot zoveel ontdekkingen. Rewire is het spannendste festival dat wij kennen.” - OOR
“A lot of festivals call themselves progressive, adventurous or cross-disciplinary, but Rewire can legitimately claim it’s all of the above.” – Glamcult
“One of the very best European festivals for adventurous electronic music.” – DJBroadcast
“Entertainment is obviously key to Rewire, and these playful peaks were commendable, but the festival seeks to impart so much more. The festival also aims for inspiration, education and challenges, all of which were delivered in spades.” – Resident Advisor
“This festival has a predilection for artists who are autonomous on stage, artists who toy with expectation with shows that – deliberately or not – split the discussion down the middle of what live music could be.” – Drowned in Sound
“Rewire is uitgegroeid tot een van de meest toonaangevende festivals als het gaat om vooruitstrevende muziek, waarin bruggen geslagen worden tussen, ja, tussen wat eigenlijk niet.” – 3voor12’’
“Met drie dagen aan risicovolle programmering blijft Rewire een van de spannendste festivals in Nederland om te bezoeken en bespreken.” – Gonzo (circus)
