As one of the most powerful voices in the country, Waylon shares our a deep-rooted love for Americana, Folk and Country Music.

While he usually fills theathres with his blazing band, we opted for something more intimate and raw. Thanks to a wonderful collaboration with our good friends at Fender, we are able to bring the incredible Waylon to Dedemsvaart for a very special performance on our Front Porch. Stripping away the big production, he will be opening the festival in its purest form.

Performing as Thin Lizzy Tribute, an absolute all-star line-up from the Dutch rock scene is heading to Dedemsvaart. Featuring Henk Wesselink and Ymte Koekoek (Money & the Man), flanked by the massive guitar power of Mick Hup and Sheldon Yung, this is a formation that simply cannot disappoint. Last year, they completely tore the house down in a packed tent at Zwarte Cross, and now they are coming to our guitar villa to treat us to those iconic, harmonized twin-guitar lines that made Thin Lizzy legendary.

Expect a tribute show of the highest caliber, with sparks guaranteed to fly from the stage in honor of one of the most legendary rock bands in the world!

Nusantara Beat, the six-piece band hailing from Amsterdam, is quickly becoming a must-see act. With a deep connection to their Indonesian roots and a passion for honoring their cultural heritage, Nusantara Beat brings a fresh and modern take on traditional Indonesian music. 

Nusantara Beat creates a unique sound that blends traditional Indonesian songs from the 20th century with their own style and creativity. The result is a mesmerizing mix of tropical and mystical sounds that take the audience on a journey to the land of their ancestors.

But Nusantara Beat isn't just about honoring tradition. They also strive to showcase the rich diversity of Indonesian music and take it into the future.

Having grown up amidst South African traditions and the down-to-earth atmosphere of North Holland, Eastman & Bourgeois artist Josua Peter spent years searching for his own voice. His songs, inspired by personal struggles, explore identity, self-love and hope.

With influences from Ray Lamontagne, Two Gallants and Bon Iver, he uses his four-octave vocal range to urge listeners to shed their masks and be themselves.

Josua’s first single ‘Bones’ was an instant hit, earning him a Radio 2 Top Song and a 3FM Megahit. During an impressive performance at Noorderslag, he was even named 3FM Talent. With his second single ‘Pins And Needles’, an EP on the way and shows at festivals such as Paaspop, Concert At Sea and Appelpop, Josua Peter is unmissable this year.

Minko are a Dutch band from the small town of Dordrecht. Brothers Dusty & 
Darryl Ciggaar (Dry Riverbed Trio, Ian Siegal) and their friend Nick Croes (Typhoon, Jett Rebel) have known each other for almost twenty years. After many musical adventures with various bands and artists, on a beautiful starry night in Bali, they looked at each other and the question arose: shouldn’t we be making our own music?

Not so long ago, they joined forces with their mate Tammo Deuling (Dawn Brothers) and the band was complete.
Expect steamy Rock & Roll, blues shuffles, Country Soul, Roots, sentimental punk songs, rhythm and blues and everything in between.

The Lonesome Malones is a brand-new ensemble of seasoned musicians united by a shared passion for authentic bluegrass. The members first met at various festivals and during EWOB (European World of Bluegrass) in the Netherlands, where spontaneous jam sessions sparked a musical chemistry too strong to ignore.

What started as a series of relaxed jam sessions soon evolved into a dedicated band with a complete repertoire. The Malones deliver a fresh, energetic sound while staying true to traditional roots. Their music evokes the warmth of campfires, long summer nights, and endless highway stories, performed with craftsmanship, joy, and heart.

After ten years of touring, writing and recording with roots rock band Dawn Brothers, Bas van Holt is striking out on his own. In his solo project, the focus shifts from band dynamics to intuition and experimentation. The music moves between quirky indie pop, folk rock and instrumental guitar pieces, influenced by artists such as Beck, Daniel Lanois and Paul McCartney.

Largely recorded by Bas himself, but here and there assisted by musician friends such as Pablo van de Poel (DeWolff), Darryl Ciggaar (Minko), Ties Voskamp (Cocobolo), Jelle Rozenburg and Yanna Pelser. Alongside narrative folk songs, the album features spontaneous
improvisations, grunge tracks and tranquil guitar music. Don’t expect a stylistically consistent record, but rather a personal
collection of songs and sounds in which curiosity takes precedence over genre.

Who said guitar music is dead? Wildman isn’t having any of it.

These four lads create a mix of alternative garage rock and blues rock. Their energetic wall of sound, steeped in wailing guitars and Hammond organ, is interspersed with strong pop hooks that stick in your head. Now seasoned by gigs at home and their first European tour, Wildman’s live set has evolved into a cracking live show for a wide audience. It goes without saying that these lads draw inspiration from both the greats of yesteryear, such as Led Zeppelin and The Doors, and those of today, such as The Black Keys and Queens of the Stone Age.
