André Hazes Jr.

On 13 June 2026 André Hazes Jr. is scheduled to perform at Caprera in Bloemendaal. The singer, who grew up in Dutch-language pop and the "levenslied" tradition, leans live on direct melodies and choruses that grab you straight away. His set moves smoothly between small, vulnerable ballads and faster numbers where pop meets a touch of schlager. He sings about everyday doubts, relationships that clash and then mend, about family and the urge to do better. Since the mid-2010s Hazes Jr. has been carving out his own path, separate from the legacy attached to his surname, with songs that sound clear and stick with you.

On Caprera’s open-air stage that repertoire works especially well: vocals up front, a tight band, arrangements open enough to breathe. Don’t expect grand gestures for their own sake, but rather songs that come straight to the point. Among the new tracks he slips in familiar sing-alongs and live favorites, leaving room for silence and for the crowd to form a choir. An evening for anyone who wants to hear Dutch-language pop unfiltered, up close and without fuss.
