Friday 5 September 2025
After a successful first edition in Zuiderpark, The Hague Blues is moving to the ultimate pop temple of The Hague: PAARD. On Friday, September 5, 2025, a spectacular second edition is set to take place, featuring three world-class artists: Laurence Jones (UK), AJ PLUG (NL), and Jose Ramírez (USA). With this lineup, The Hague Blues brings the very best of the blues to The Hague. From virtuoso guitar playing to deeply soulful vocals – this evening will be a pure tribute to the blues.
José Ramirez was robbed of his backpack just a few weeks ago, which included, among other things, his passport. Due to the lack of any form of identification, José Ramirez has been forced to immediately return to Costa Rica to apply for a new passport and renewed residence documents for the European Union. As a result, he is unfortunately required to cancel all show dates through the end of September.
While The Hague Blues took place in the open air in 2024, this year the organization has deliberately chosen the club atmosphere of PAARD, The Hague’s premier music venue. This legendary stage has already hosted unforgettable blues nights and provides the perfect setting for an immersive, raw, and intense blues experience.
The British blues-rock sensation, praised for his phenomenal guitar playing and powerful voice. He has shared the stage with legends like Buddy Guy and Walter Trout, delivering a show full of energy and emotion.
The ‘Queen of Dutch Blues’ guarantees goosebumps and pure passion. With her raw voice and heartfelt songs, she blows every venue away.
At just 10 years old, Toby Lee was already performing at B.B. King’s Blues Club. The young guitar virtuoso taught himself to play at the age of eight and went on to appear in the musical School of Rock, on The Ellen Show, and the TV show Little Big Shots.
