Info
On 26 September 2026, IJzeren Man Vught will provide the backdrop for the Dutch levenslied, with Jan Smit and Frans Bauer at the center.
Jan Smit grew from “Jantje Smit” of Volendam into an established name in Dutch-language pop. His repertoire revolves around melodies that capture everyday life, from early hits like “Ik zing dit lied voor jou alleen” to albums such as Vallen of springen and Op weg naar geluk. Alongside his solo career he also ventured into German-language schlager, notably with KLUBBB3, without abandoning his Volendam roots. In concert he presents his songs straightforwardly: sung clearly, easy to sing along with, leaving room for new material while offering familiar moments.
Frans Bauer, raised in Fijnaart, comes from the same tradition of levenslied and schlager. Since the 1990s he has built a catalogue of ballads, waltz rhythms and danceable songs, sometimes also in German. Collaborations — including with Marianne Weber — have cemented his voice with audiences in the Netherlands and Flanders. On stage he seeks direct contact and draws on his long list of albums and compilations, backed by a band that keeps the repertoire close to its core: stories, melody and choruses that linger.
