Paardcafé: Scarlet Rose & Callkoen

In the green polders of the land of Maas and Waal, a rebellious teenager, the perfect son-in-law, your favorite colleague, and a somewhat hyperactive teenager decided to start the indie pop band Scarlet Rose. Just before the pandemic in 2019, the band gave its first performance, straight away at the famous Cavern Club during the International Pop Overthrow Festival. After that, they went on a tour through the Netherlands and performed on the radio at stations including Q-Music, and they released their first EP. In 2022, the band went on tour again through the Netherlands, Germany, and England for a more extensive tour, once again performing at the Cavern Club. In 2023, one of the band’s highlights occurred when they were invited to perform the aftershow for The Kooks at AFAS Live. In 2024 and 2025, the band played 50 shows in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and the United Kingdom. With performances at festivals including Oerol, Parade Festival, and the Norden Festival, the band managed to win people over.

Support: Callkoen
Coming into contact with a wild Callkoen usually leads to the following symptoms: tired legs, an empty head, and sky-high spirits. The five men blend reggae, rock, and pop, with a touch of Balkan flavor here and there. Their “Zomerfruit” has a surprisingly long shelf life, so come pick some of that delicious fruit… Wanna skank like Saul? Better Callkoen!
