Sometimes you don't have to travel far to delve into the past. Sometimes you just need a good reason to dust off those old dance steps. And here it is. WE LOVE 90'S XL is coming to Bob's in Uitgeest, and that means an evening full of nostalgia, instantly recognizable beats, and that wonderful feeling of "Oh yeah, that's the one!"

Some performances defy description in a single word. Music? Yes. Theater? Absolutely. Humor? Definitely. The Omniband is above all one big "Hey, cozy!" – and that's precisely what makes this evening so enjoyable. Three musicians, twenty-six instruments, and boundless curiosity. Omniband does everything that makes them happy: experimenting, combining, failing, and creating something new. You feel like you're entering their world of thought – and there it is: a joyful, musical

Some shows are a blast even before they start. Because you know: this show will keep the kids on the edge of their seats – and adults will secretly enjoy it just as much. "The Magic Wardrobe" is exactly that kind of show. Huub Cooijmans discovered an old wardrobe on Marktplaats. Free to take, mind you. But what seemed like a simple find quickly turned out to be anything but ordinary. The wardrobe was locked with a heavy chain, the key had vanished without a trace, and the mor

Some music becomes a part of your life without you consciously choosing it. You hear a few notes and you know instantly. Golden Earring is one such band. Radar Love, Twilight Zone, Back Home – these songs are stored somewhere in your memory, whether you were a big fan or not.

No spotlights, no impressive

Some performances don't advertise themselves with the promise of an "enjoyable evening," but with something entirely different. Something that stirs things up, touches you, and makes you think. "Mist" is such a performance. This new tragicomedy revolves around former variety artist Willy Borél. Once a celebrated star, he now finds himself in a nursing home after being diagnosed with dementia. His days are short, almost hopeless, far removed from the applause he once took for

Sometimes you get the best tips completely by chance. Not through a newsletter or a poster, but simply… at the Christmas market. Among the lights and stalls, we struck up a conversation with a group of fantastically costumed women. Even before I knew exactly what they did, you could feel it: they were radiating energy, joy, and pride. As it turned out, they were performing in the musical "Petticoat," which will be staged at the Kennemer Theater on May 29th and 30th, 2026. And

Sometimes the most extraordinary things are found in the simplest of things. Drinking a beer. Listening to a song. Just dropping by De Kroeg for a bit. And, at the same time, working together to ensure that the De Zien swimming pool can continue to exist. This week, Uitgeest will be entirely dedicated to the glasshouse for three days. — a musical and entertaining charity event. And let's be honest: events like these are exactly what our village thrives on. Three days full of

Some evenings exude an atmosphere that instantly transports you back in time – to brown tones, wonderfully impractical hanging planters, and the scent of incense sticks that just didn't quite work. Friday, January 23, 2026, will be such an evening. As part of the National Theatre Weekend, Ernest Beuving presents his show "One of the 70s " at De Zwaan: a humorous journey through time filled with music, parodies, and wonderfully recognizable moments from the 1970s. For someone

Some afternoons feel like a ray of sunshine in January – and Sunday, January 18, 2026, will be just such an afternoon. Because this time, De Zwaan isn't hosting an ordinary theater concert, but SantanAcoustic : an acoustic homage to the music of Santana, full of Latin rock, rhythm, and warm guitar sounds. It may be freezing cold outside, but inside it promises to be incredibly warm . And it's precisely this contrast that makes me so happy in January. Perhaps it's because we

Some mornings feel special from the very beginning – and Sunday, January 11, 2026, is one such morning. Because instead of a typical coffee concert, Casa de Fado Amsterdam is coming to Uitgeest. A group of young musicians who Soul of Portugal The result is a fresh, modern, and unexpectedly intimate Sunday morning experience. And quite honestly? Anyone who grew up with Fado (like me) feels immediately drawn to it. This raw, warm, melancholic sound… it's simply deeply ingrain

If, like us, you love the atmosphere, the winter lights, and the special feeling of ringing in the New Year together , then you shouldn't miss this event.
