DRUKWERK
Dutch pop heroes from Mokum
Saturday 18 January 2025
The Amsterdam Nederpop band Drukwerk was formed in 1978 by singer Harry Slinger and musicians Ton Coster, Joop May and Hans Witteveen. In the late 1970s, Drukwerk became known for their protest songs against, for example, the closure of youth clubs in Amsterdam-Noord, housing shortages and other abuses. In 1981 the band launched their longplayer with the gold single ‘Je Loog Tegen Mij’ (You lied to me), which reached number 1 in the Dutch Top 40 and can still be found in the NPO Radio 2 Top 2000. On January 18, 2025, these heroes will be in our Grote Zaal!
