The annual world MeYouZik festival takes place on Saturday 2.7.2011 in the very centre of Luxembourg-city, at place Guillaume II, rue du St Esprit and place Clairefontaine.

Every year, the festival offers an avalanche of free world music concerts on three stages. The big Lion Stage on place Guillaume II hosts international headliners whereas the smaller Holy Ghost Stage in the rue du St Esprit is dedicated to electronic world music and DJ’s. As part of the festival, the culinary and informative MeYouVillage presents institutions and NGO’s that are active in development aid projects as well as a third music stage.

As a world music festival, MeYouZik stands for multiculturality, openness and tolerance, and mirrors Luxembourg-city’s demographic composition, with 65% of its citizens being non-Luxembourgers and belonging to 170 different nationalities.

The festival MeYouZik takes place on Saturday, 7.7.2012, the eve of the rock festival "Rock um Knuedler" that takes over on Sunday 8.7.2012 on the same place Guillaume II. By grouping the two festivals on a weekend and offering two days of free music, the Luxembourg City Tourist Office actively promotes Luxembourg city as a vibrant cultural destination, enhances its reputation on an international level and attracts every year thousands of enthusiastic visitors.

The festival MeYouZik in Luxembourg has been created in 2007 when Luxembourg and the Greater Region were "European Capital of Culture", and was so successful that it has been repeated over the years, and that it occupies its own place in the urban festival culture of the Luxembourgish capital city. Since 2008, the Luxembourg City Tourist Office (LCTO) is the official organiser.

The detailed program of MeYouZik 2012 will be presented by the LCTO beginning of summer 2012.
