Stories that linger under the starry sky
It is surprising, funny, unpolished, and above all, wonderfully swinging. Matthijs is one of the most well-known Dutch media personalities, best known as the presenter of the iconic program 'De Wereld Draait Door'. With his sharp interviews, infectious enthusiasm, and great love for music and culture, he has managed to captivate a broad audience for years.
Besides television, music has always played an important role in Matthijs's work, a passion that now comes together on stage with the Sven Hammond Big Band. This band already brought a musical masterpiece to Live At Amsterdamse Bos in 2024, an evening we talked about for a long time. The big band is known for their raw soul, jazz, funk, and groove live energy. With top musicians, the 16-piece band delivers an energetic and captivating live show.
Shirma Rouse and Jett Rebel are coming to Amsterdam as the special guests of the evening. Shirma Rouse is known for her powerful soul voice, while Jett Rebel surprises the audience with his energetic and versatile pop sound.
The regulars are not missing either: Nico Dijkshoorn brings sharp observations and spoken word. The Zo! Gospel Choir provides impressive vocals, and Anton Goudsmit adds virtuoso guitar playing.
