During the Haagse Popweek, R2P brings together emerging and promising musical talent from The Hague and surrounding areas in the Kleine Zaal of PAARD.

TOUR 27 puts up-and-coming bands from The Hague and legendary pop and rock music front and center. The evening’s theme is the 27 Club: the iconic artists who passed away far too young, yet left an indelible mark with their music.

Alongside their own songs, several bands will put their own musical spin on a track by one of the 27 Club artists. Think of names like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, and more. Don’t expect standard covers—anticipate surprising, distinctive interpretations and personal musical tributes to the artists who shaped pop and rock history.

In addition, we are shining a bright spotlight on fresh local talent. Among others, the winners of Young Talent In The Park will take the stage to introduce themselves to a wider audience.
