Niels Geusebroek sings Coldplay

On 13 December 2026 Niels Geusebroek performs at Patronaat, Haarlem with Niels Geusebroek sings Coldplay. The Amsterdam singer-songwriter — once frontman of Silkstone and later seen on The Voice of Holland — strips the Coldplay repertoire back to its core: melody, voice and guitar. With his clear timbre and acoustic touch he removes the production and brings the songs closer to the audience, leaving room for dynamics and detail.

Expect intimate renditions of "Yellow," "The Scientist" and "Fix You," but also more rhythmic material like "Viva La Vida," reworked into a set that stays true to the songs without being a straight copy. Geusebroek comes from pop and folk, but also reached a broader audience with "Year of Summer" (with Wildstylez); live you hear that in his timing and phrasing, in the way he plays with tension and release. Between songs there is attention to story and lyrics, harmonies where appropriate, and above all a focus on songwriting and the recognisable hooks that drive Coldplay — filtered through a crystal-clear voice and spare arrangements. An evening to really hear those songs up close.
