Jan Smit « 30 Jaar in Vlaanderen »

Jan Smit celebrates 30 years in Flanders and returns to where he grew up with his audience. The Dutch singer, who emerged as a child under the name Jantje Smit, has navigated the years with a blend of Dutch pop and songs close to the levenslied (a Dutch sentimental-song tradition), between chronicles of everyday life and catchy choruses. From Volendam to the Flemish stages he has forged a steady bond with the local audience, multiplying concerts, collaborations — notably with Belgian singer Christoff as part of KLUBBB3 — and TV appearances that have made his voice known beyond national borders.

On 27 November 2026, Jan Smit stops at De Soeverein in Lommel for an anniversary concert that unfolds a timeline of his career. On stage with his band he moves through the key periods, from the Jantje beginnings to recent tracks, with some reworked arrangements, more acoustic passages and nods to his ties with Flanders. A date to rediscover his Dutch-language songs, follow the thread of a long career and bring to the present a repertoire that continues to speak to the audience here.
