Racoon

The Zeeland-based band Racoon has been a fixture in Dutch pop music for three decades. Dozens of hits, nine albums, and a rock-solid live reputation; few bands achieve that. This jewel in the crown of Dutch pop plays music with 'heart and soul, a laugh and a tear, straight to the point' in a sold-out Royal Concertgebouw. You will see just how clear that is again tonight in a special, semi-acoustic set. Also check out the page with information about amplified concerts.

Timeless songs

Last year, the band was still touring the theaters. Now, Racoon returns for shows that are pulled out all the stops. Especially for the Concertgebouw, the band is playing a semi-acoustic set this evening. The focus is on the music; playing together and enjoying the timeless songs the band wrote and which are embraced by radio, the press, and the public.

Sincere emotion

After switching to Dutch in 2021 with the album Spijt is iets voor later, the band from Zeeland returned to English with their latest album It Is What It Is. Live, the English-language hits are effortlessly alternated with Dutch-language hits such as Het is al laat toch, Oceaan , and De echte vent. Songs with golden melodies, lyrics from the heart, and genuine emotion—exactly what the four from Goes have been known for for years.
