Le Guess Who? is an annual festival in Utrecht focusing on contemporary and experimental music. Founded in 2007 by musician Gawie Meeuwis, it distinguishes itself by curating a program largely driven by artist selections; each year a number of artists are invited to curate portions of the festival lineup alongside the core organization. This results in a diverse and often unconventional program spanning genres like avant-garde, electronic, jazz, folk, and experimental rock.

It has gained international recognition for its adventurous programming and support of emerging artists.
