Welcome to the main event of the festival: THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS 2.0!

Get your single night tickets here

Here are the contenders:

First, THE FRIED SEVEN will be back at it again!

Based in Amsterdam, the Fried Seven knows how to make you move! Syncopated, delightful, youthful and virtuous, they work their way through a marvelous repertoire only to make us DANCE. And they come back once again to prove they ARE the hottest band in town.
This septet is united by their passion for early jazz and they make sure that everyone around them can feel it.

And 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 on the other side of the ring: THE ROARING CATS!
The battle is ON for a second round!

For those who do not know The Roaring Cats are a promising young band based in Amsterdam with an original repertoire and arrangements from the 30s and 40s. On top of that, they are presenting original compositions in style. Swell notes for hyperactive swing dancers.
The show they put on is a must watch/dance every time they hop on a stage.

Last year, officially we did not pronounce a winner. But this year will be different and both bands are coming to get the prize! 🏆

Get your single night tickets so you do not miss the night of the year!
