Amp busted? Or just crazy about everything to do with guitars, pedals, and soldering?
Bring your gear to the Solderboys! An afternoon where the most brilliant (and slightly mad) techs in the region team up with you to get your stuff up and running again — or to make your sound even heavier.
Whether it’s about repairing, tweaking, or just watching and learning in a space that smells gloriously of solder, smoke, and pure concentration — everything goes, everyone’s welcome.
Musicians, artists, Aunt Hennie, m/f/x — you name it.
Tools are available, but you’re welcome to bring your own too. Can you fix instruments or other gear and want to help out? Sign up through this form! Afterwards, stick around and dance to records spun by one of the DJs from the FFataal DJ collective.
Solderboys is organized in collaboration with Friesland Pop and SUF&DUF.
About het Stadshart
From November 5 to 23, Podium Explore transforms into het Stadshart.
Every afternoon, a different local scene or community hosts a DIY session under the name Studio Stadshart. One day you might be soldering guitar pedals, the next you’ll learn how to make your own sourdough starter. And in the evenings, you can unwind with live bands, talks, and performances!
*The entire Stadshart program is free, with the exception of Dood Paard – 3 x from Moscow + 🖤.
Is there food too?
Yes! Pop-up restaurant De Voedselbar serves lunch, dinner, and all-day snacks. So the Stadshart is basically your new favorite café — but one where there’s always something cool happening or to see. It’s also the perfect place to connect with local creative scenes, neighbors, friends, and communities from the region.
Open every day from 12:00 to midnight!
