DopaBeat Guide

Groningen's App for Song Dedications and Party Moments

Quick answer

If you want a song to mean something at your Groningen party, DopaBeat lets any guest dedicate it — to one person with a direct notification, or to the whole room as a shout-out everyone sees.

With Eurosonic, where Europe's festival bookers find new acts to its name, Groningen knows how to celebrate. DopaBeat adds the oldest trick in music to every party in Groningen: the dedication. Guests pick a song, pick a person, and the room shares the moment on perfectly synced playback.

Putting a name on a song in Groningen

Create or join a party in DopaBeat, find the track you want, and choose who it's for. If you dedicate it to one person at your Groningen gathering, their phone lights up with the news; if you dedicate it to the room, everyone sees the shout-out at once. Either way, the song plays in sync on every phone and the web page, so the moment is shared.

Dance requests take it one step further in Groningen

A dedication says 'this song is for you' — a dance request says 'come dance to it'. At any Groningen party, DopaBeat lets you send a dance request to a specific person, who can accept or politely decline, or throw an open request to the whole room and see who answers.

The lowest barrier to a shared moment in Groningen

Joining a party in Groningen takes seconds: scan the QR, type the short code, or open the link. Once in, guests on the free iOS and Android apps get the full experience, and web guests are right there in the room with them.
