WHY?

At OVERLAST, we believe that young artists can use all the support they can get. We started in 2017 because we felt the need to create meaningful live experiences for starting musicians. Good sound, a decent stage and an engaged audience; a recipe for growth.

In giving young people a stage, a number of other questions arose: how can I get paid, how can I book other shows, I need help creating visuals, I make music in my bedroom but don’t know how to play it live,...

This moved us to create Atelier OVERLAST, a place where we can offer even more support and it shifted OVERLAST towards an opener organisation, offering everything from exposure to workspace to advise and more!
