As of January 1, 2026, GÂRDEN Studio will be taken over by Grounds.
I'm happy and proud that everything we’ve built over the years is getting such a strong and meaningful next chapter. Grounds is a Rotterdam-based venue with the knowledge, network, and experience to take our studio even further — and to unlock possibilities we simply couldn’t reach on our own. It feels good to know GÂRDEN Studio is coming in the hands that truly understand its spirit.
Thank you to the wonderful GÂRDEN team, all performing artists and everyone who supported us over the past few years, while we were pioneering with livestreaming concerts. All the shows we produced are still available to watch on our YouTube channel, and we’d love it if you revisit them, share them, and keep them alive there. Recently, we also uploaded previously unreleased unplugged recordings and backstage Q&As.
The GÂRDEN journey has been incredibly meaningful. While we felt real momentum and growth, there wasn’t enough room to keep creating the ambitious productions we envisioned. That’s exactly why this transition feels right. With Grounds as the new owner, those possibilities are there — and that gives me confidence and peace of mind. From now on, anyone looking for strong audiovisual showcases and music or video productions can turn to Grounds.
A warm thank you for being part of GÂRDEN and I wish you a wonderful, healthy, peaceful and free 2026.
