Antoon + support: Def

On March 20, 2026 Antoon will perform at SPOT/De Oosterpoort in Groningen. As a singer, rapper and producer (Valentijn Verkerk), he moves effortlessly between melodic hooks and rhythmic verses. His tracks rely on clear production with a pop sensibility built on a hip‑hop foundation. As part of the new wave of Dutch pop and rap, he constructs his songs from the studio to the stage: smart arrangements, unmistakable hooks, punchy drums and space for his voice. That producer’s perspective comes through live in the details and transitions, without losing momentum. On stage this translates into a set where he alternates between sung lines and rap, with beats that carry the whole and a focus on the song: choruses that linger and verses that push the pace, delivered up close to the audience.

Def opens the evening and sets the tone with a short, efficient set that carries the crowd toward the main show — perfect for building energy before Antoon takes over.
