Michael Prins « Play With Fire Tour »

Michael Prins brings his Play With Fire Tour to SPOT/De Oosterpoort in Groningen on 31 October 2026. The Haarlem-based singer-songwriter writes in English and moves between pop and folk, with songs that lean on voice, piano or guitar. He came to prominence in 2013 through De beste singer-songwriter van Nederland and has since become a regular name on the Dutch club and festival circuit.

On stage, Prins keeps things intimate. His stories touch on relationships and doubt, delivered in a direct tone with room for breath and silence. Rivertown Fairytales (2013) established that approach: spare and melodic. A Dreamer’s Dream Is Forever To Be Yours (2015) introduced greater layering in the arrangements, while It’s Murder, Guilty On Killing Sweet Emotion (2017) explored darker atmospheres without abandoning melody. Live, this translates into a set where lyrics, phrasing and dynamics take centre stage, with guitar or piano as constant anchors.

Play With Fire is about tension and nuance: acoustic, direct, without detours. In Groningen, that comes together in an evening where the song is central and the gap between audience and artist remains small.
