Kaderock
6 Jun - 7 Jun
Festivals
Kaderock is a pop festival held every June at Muziekcafé Musicon on Soestdijksekade in The Hague. This year's festival will take place on 6 and 7 June. Kaderock is known as small-scale but big. The festival is by now a household name in The Hague and its surroundings, but also attracts more and more audiences from the rest of the Netherlands. Kaderock promises to be another great addition to the Whitsun weekend!
Program edition Kaderock 2025
Not only rock music, but also pop, blues, rap and electronic music and from national to local and regional acts are on the programme.
The Kaderock programme is nearly complete and once again promises a great party with music for all tastes. As tradition goes, Friday night kicks off with iconic pop and rock classics from The Hague – once known as the “beat capital” of the Netherlands. Expect legendary hits performed by local heroes like Golden Earring drummer Cesar Zuiderwijk, The Clarks, the cult-favorite Gruppo Sportivo, and the Jan Akkerman Band, bringing the unforgettable sounds of Focus and Brainbox to life. A must for fans of classic rock with a Dutch twist!
On Saturday, the party bursts into a genre-hopping celebration: from Ozric Tentacles’ mind-bending space-rock and Elmer’s heavy hip-hop to high-energy punk from VALS ALARM and groovy indie soul by Jaïr Faria. Don’t miss DeWolff – a fiery blues-rock trio hailed as one of the best live bands in the Netherlands, playing one of their few Dutch shows this year. The rising stars Wodan Boys, voted The Hague’s Band of the Year, bring loud, no-nonsense rock fresh off a sold-out hometown show. And closing the night: a jaw-dropping performance by French cybermetal trio Les Projets d’Athena, fronted by Hades – a towering, drumming robot from a sci-fi fever dream.

New stage
2025 will add a new stage: the Greenhouse, in collaboration with renowned artists' incubators and pop musicians from The Hague. Experimenting with sound art, visual art and technology, they will merge the music of the 20th and 21st centuries live. The audience will also get the chance to play along with them.
Furthermore, at the large outdoor stage, you can enjoy nationally known bands and artists with a drink in your hand in the sun. The intimate indoor stage will feature local and regional bands and artists where the temperature will also be high! On the grounds, there is a small festival market, food stalls, bars and a children's corner with bouncy castle for the youngest festival-goers.
