The Boxer Rebellion returns to Maassilo Rotterdam on 18 March 2026, presenting their new album (March 2026)!

Ticket sales start on Friday 7 November 12:00 via Ticketmaster.

London band The Boxer Rebellion are known for their grand, stadium-worthy anthems. With an eye for detail, they build layered productions that sound clear and spacious, while the warm, reverberating vocals flow straight into your heart and lift you up effortlessly. With The Second I’m Asleep (March 2026), their seventh studio album, The Boxer Rebellion writes a new chapter in their impressive story full of world tours, film and TV collaborations and a loyal global fanbase.

All these years, The Boxer Rebellion has built on its unmistakable sound: alternative rock songs that are as awe-inspiring in their dynamics as the average stadium act, but nevertheless fall back on the intimacy of that one charming band from the local pub. A band with modesty and character!

This concert is presented by Rotown, MOMO Concerts and Maassilo. Please note: the venue has standing room only.

EXTRA SHOW – Due to the great demand for the De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, an extra show has been added on 26 February 2026 at Maassilo! The show in Rotterdam on Friday 27 February 2026 is sold out.

Tickets for the extra concert on Thursday 26 February 2026 are on sale now via Ticketmaster.

De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig celebrates its twentieth anniversary with a grand celebration, including a performance at Rotterdam’s Maassilo. What started with “Watskeburt?!” grew into a cultural phenomenon. DJVT brought hip hop to the mainstream with their catchy mix of beats, humour and absurdist poetry. Hits like “Sterrenstof” and “Get Spanish” followed, as did a series of successful albums. Twenty years later, they’re still at the top of their game. Legends don’t age, they evolve.

In Vrijplaats, Wende goes back to basics. In this performance, Wende transforms the track into a sanctuary; a place where everything is possible. Together with keyboardist Nils Davidse, she takes the audience on a journey with a soundtrack consisting of nothing more than two pianos and her voice.

After the sold-out extra show at De Doelen last Sunday, Wende takes this stage one last time on Saturday 1 November 2025. Don’t miss your chance to experience it live.

De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig is coming to Rotterdam to celebrate 20 years of DJVT, live at Maassilo on Friday 27 February 2026.

Motel Mozaïque (MOMO) supports the cultural boycott of Israel.

Together with more than 875 Dutch and Belgian artists & cultural workers and nearly 300 cultural institutions, we wish to no longer remain bystanders to the ongoing war crimes, crimes against humanity and what has been widely recognized by all authoritative institutions as a genocide of the Palestinian people.

With immediate effect, and in response to sustained calls from Palestinian artists and civil society at large, we declare a cultural boycott of the Israeli state and of all Israeli institutions and companies. Exempted from the boycott are those Israeli institutions and companies that are not complicit in violations of international law and have unequivocally spoken out against genocide, apartheid and the illegal occupation. The boycott is explicitly not directed at individuals or their origins, and therefore not at Jewish people or Israelis as such, but rather at the complicity of the Israeli state and Israeli institutions and companies in grave human rights violations against the Palestinian people.

JOHAN returns to perform their most iconic album, ‘Pergola’! Friday 3 April at Theater Rotterdam.

Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster

JOHAN is without a doubt one of the most beloved indie bands in the Netherlands. Their warm blend of indie rock and power pop is both sweet and raw, hopeful and melancholic. While individual sounds often carry a rough, heavy edge, together they form something unexpectedly light and open. What truly sets the band apart is their ability to sound both urgent and timeless — music that captures hearts today just as effortlessly as it did in their early years.

For this show, JOHAN returns to perform their most iconic album, ‘Pergola’. Written in the aftermath of personal struggles and depression, this record stands as a raw yet hopeful testament to hardship and resilience — infused with love, light, and the promise of recovery. ‘Pergola’ marked JOHAN’s major breakthrough, cementing their place as one of the Netherlands’ most cherished indie pop acts with timeless songs like ‘Tumble and Fall’ and ‘Day Is Done’. The album is celebrated for its layered guitars, melancholic melodies and immersive atmosphere.

This concert is presented by Rotown, LantarenVenster, MOMO Concerts and Theater Rotterdam. The venue has both seated and standing (unreserved) areas.
