Plackband, founded in 1977 in the bustling heart of The Hague, is a legendary name in the Dutch prog rock scene. Inspired by greats such as Genesis and Yes, the band quickly earned the nickname Haagse Genesis thanks to their virtuoso performances and complex, melodic compositions. With a unique mix of symphonic rock, jazz rock influences and unparalleled live energy, Plackband grew into a cult phenomenon that conquered hearts both nationally and internationally.

In the course of 2025, Plackband will release a mini-concept album about the mysterious murder of prostitute Blonde Dolly from The Hague.
The first single, Dolly’s Blue Book, is released on May 29. Live, the band stays true to its classics, with room for new music and surprising instrumental excursions.
Plackband is more than a band; It is a timeless ode to creativity, perseverance and the power of live music. Don’t miss your chance to experience these founders of Dutch prog rock live – a unique experience that thrills diehard fans and new listeners alike
