“Josh Ritter remains at the top of his game two decades into a highlight-strewn career. He’d be forgiven for loosening his grip, but his hand has never felt surer.” – NPR Music

“Harking back to Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and maybe a little Mark Knopfler, Mr. Ritter has always been a slinger of serious ideas and high-flown imagery.” – The New York Times

Wende is coming to Rotterdam with her ‘Er Is Nog Tijd’ tour!

The new album Er Is Nog Tijd was inspired by the end of a relationship, but focuses mainly on what comes afterwards. It’s about longing and growing older, intimacy and shame, daring to show your true self, and the question of who you become when life takes a different turn than expected. The first single from Wende’s new album ‘We Doen Alsof’, is out now; the album is coming out on 29 January 2027.

Expect a concert where pop, chanson and electronica come together, and where vulnerability and strength lie side by side.

Wende is one of the Netherlands’ most versatile pop artists. Since 2003, she has released eight albums and won Edisons in several categories. MENS (2019) won the Edison Pop award; Sterrenlopen (2023) entered the Album Top 100 at number 2, featuring collaborations with Froukje and S10. One thing has remained constant for twenty years at her concerts and festival performances: anyone who has seen Wende live will never forget it.

This concert is presented by Rotown, LantarenVenster, and MOMO Concerts.

anaiis brings her Devotion & the Black Divine tour to BIRD! Following the performance at a packed BIRD during MOMO Festival 2026, the London-based French-Senegalese artist brings her powerful and soft neo-soul sound back to Rotterdam.

London-based French-Senegalese artist anaiis writes transportive progressive soul aglow with cosmic daydreaming and illuminated with inner knowledge. Inspired by Maya Angelou, Nina Simone, Octavia Butler and bell hooks (anaiis keeps her name in lowercase as a tribute to hooks), she uses her influences to build out multi-disciplinary works that invite us to sit between something fantastical and grounded all at once.

On her latest album Devotion & The Black Divine, songs swell with emotional clarity and a growing sense of homecoming. It marks an ongoing progression that began during a pivotal stint in Brazil, when a collaborative mini-album, anaiis & Grupo Cosmo, was created through live improvisation. Following its release, Devotion & The Black Divine was included as an album of the year by New Yorker (who also highlighted “Green Juice” as a song of the year), Apple Music, BBC 6, and Wordplay Magazine, amidst high praise from The Guardian, The Observer, Rolling Stone UK, BBC, Numéro, Crack Magazine, CLASH, and more.

“Elite class of song. I want this with me after the apocalypse“ – The New Yorker

“Her powerful voice soothes with words of affirmation over a soft, skipping neo-soul bassline”  – Crack Magazine

Roosbeef is the band fronted by singer and songwriter Roos Rebergen. Since their breakthrough, the group has established itself as one of the most distinctive voices in Dutch-language music.

Rebergen is regarded as one of the most influential songwriters of her generation. Her songs are at once playful, disruptive, moving and relatable. With five albums to their name, Roosbeef have built up a loyal following in the Netherlands and Belgium, and the band has earned praise from the press, fellow musicians and listeners alike.

In 2024, Roos released an album featuring classical arrangements of her songs, in collaboration with the SunSunSun Orchestra string quartet. The album and sold-out concerts received rave reviews.

Meanwhile, she was working on new material. That process was overshadowed by the death of band member and friend Tom Pintens and a period during which Rebergen took a step back to focus on her mental health. With ‘Binnensmonds’ and ‘De Leugen’, Roosbeef announces a sixth studio album. And so Roosbeef continues to reinvent itself, without ever losing its unique voice.

Belgian rapper Zwangere Guy is coming to Rotterdam!

Tickets on sale Thursday 11 June 10:00 AM via Stager. 

Zwangere Guy burst onto the scene from Brussels with his 2019 album Wie is Guy?, which topped the charts and established him as one of the leading voices in Dutch language hip-hop. Since then, he’s broken records across the board: first gold for a Dutch language hip-hop album, multiple sold-out shows across the region, and recognition from major festivals including Rock Werchter and Lowlands.

Zwangere Guy’s music is characterized by precise lyrics and an unflinching approach to difficult subjects: poverty, domestic violence, personal struggle. His work in recent years reflects a period of transition as he navigates sobriety and fatherhood. He raps in Flemish Dutch with wordplay throughout. On stage, he brings both intensity and openness.

Dutch hip-hop sensation Gotu Jim is coming to Rotterdam! After breaking through to a wider audience in 2024 with viral TikTok hit ‘Misschien (Kwijt)’ – the festival anthem of that year – he’s become one of the Netherlands’ most exciting live acts.

Tickets on sale Friday 29 May 10:00 AM via Stager. 

In 2025, Gotu Jim played all the major festivals, with a packed-out tent at Lowlands as the ultimate highlight. His latest achievement is the 2026 summer banger ‘Vergeten’, a collaboration with hitmaker Antoon. His sound is unmistakably Jim: dark and emotional, but always with a smile and sing-along hooks.

Auto-tune drenched vocals meet danceable electronic beats, creating a unique blend of Dutch hip-hop that moves between melancholy and party energy. From student king to internet sensation to style icon – if he hadn’t stayed so grounded, you’d call him a superstar.

Live, Gotu Jim knows how to captivate a crowd. Don’t miss this rising star!
