Kaderock
5 Jun - 6 Jun
Kaderock is a pop music festival that takes place every year in June at music venue Musicon on the Soestdijksekade in The Hague. This year, the festival is held on 5 and 6 June 2026. Kaderock is known as small-scale but wide in scope. The festival is well known in The Hague and the surrounding area, and also attracts visitors from across the Netherlands.
The festival once again offers a diverse programme with artists from the Netherlands and abroad. The line-up includes established names as well as emerging talent from The Hague and beyond.
Friday: music from The Hague and the 80s
On Friday, you hear familiar music and see local talent. You can sing along to songs by Het Goede Doel, with original band members Henk Westbroek, Toni Peroni and René Meister. Sjaak Bral performs songs from The Hague together with The Clarks.
The Your Stage Challenge also takes place. During this talent competition, school bands and rappers from The Hague compete for a spot on the main stage.
Saturday: international acts and new talent
On Saturday, you see a mix of styles. You can expect performances by Altın Gün and Ozric Tentacles, alongside local acts such as Splendid and Rude Boy & Geishas of Doom.
New acts and bands from The Hague also perform, including Grote Geelstaart, Def, Dear Omen, Chattermag, The Bird Experience and The Prince Albert.
The new band Bokkeryers by Pablo van der Poel makes its festival debut. The music combines metal with lyrics in the Limburg dialect.
De Broeikas: art and experiment
In De Broeikas, you discover sound art and installations. Makers work with technology, image and sound. The programme is created in collaboration with Musicon, KRAKATAK and students from the ArtScience programme.
