Paardcafé: Holly-Ann
On 3 September 2026, pop-rock artist HOLLY-ANN celebrates her EP release at Paardcafé, the café stage of music venue PAARD in The Hague. The 24-year-old British-Dutch artist brings an uncompromising mix of theatrical pop and rock, with lyrics about religion, feminism and the supernatural.
HOLLY-ANN is the alter ego of Holly Hergelink, raised in The Hague. While Holly describes herself as a people-pleaser, HOLLY-ANN says exactly what no one else dares to say. Bold and mysterious on stage, her music feels cinematic and theatrical, yet cuts deep. Her influences range from Kate Bush and David Bowie to Ethel Cain, and it shows: her songs have space, atmosphere and a dark edge.
Her lyrics weave together religion, feminism and the supernatural. She rewrites age-old stories through a female lens, not shying away from confrontational messages. Her debut single 'Call Me Eve' is a clear example: Eve finally gets her own voice, and the suppression of women within religious frameworks is openly questioned.
HOLLY-ANN live at Paardcafé in The Hague
Paardcafé is the informal side of PAARD: accessible and a regular platform for emerging talent in The Hague. For HOLLY-ANN's EP release, it's a natural fit. Expect an evening that sits somewhere between an intimate concert and a theatrical experience, with music that stays with you long after you've left.
