With generous doses of polder punk, Balkan brass and Saharan sounds, De Baron takes you on a musical journey from west to east. With one goal in mind: to throw a big party wherever they go. Because every attempt to make the world a little better deserves to be celebrated.

De Baron lovingly blends anarchism with boundless energy. Like a raging sea of crashing waves, the eclectic sounds and spellbinding melodies wash over you. One moment you’re dancing on a ship of the ‘brown fleet’ and singing about marrying a mermaid; the next, you’re launching a direct attack on consumerism.

Following the albums Benbiri and Bejjebang, featuring hits such as ‘Aap’, ‘Zee’ and ‘Cowboy’, they released their third album, BaalBek, this year. A unifying celebration where self-mockery, anger and hope for a brighter future merge in a mix of Sahara rock, folk ballads and hard-hitting punk. Have you ever wanted to be in a klezmer mosh pit? Well, here at GROUNDS you’ll get the perfect chance!

Support act: SPOET

SPOET spits all the anger, venom, but also the fun and irony of life right in your face in the form of Dutch songs. Sometimes it feels like cabaret, sometimes it’s protest, but SPOET always puts their own stamp on whatever they send out into the world. What would the love child of Wende, Yentl & De Boer and Lucky Fonz III look like? Two-headed with red hair, a big mouth and a guitar. That’s SPOET.
