Nielson, one of the Netherlands' most popular and successful singers, is an indispensable figure in the Dutch music scene with top 10 hits like "Beauty & De Brains", "Sexy Als Ik Dans", and "IJskoud". With four successful albums to his name, he has established himself on stages across the Netherlands, from intimate theaters to the vast Pinkpop field. And on March 15th, he and his live band will once again take to our stage. Expect an evening filled with familiar hits and sing-alongs!

Niels Littooij, better known by his stage name Nielson, began his musical journey as a rapper at the Herman Brood Academy. It wasn't until his participation in the TV show "De Beste Singer-Songwriter van Nederland" that his popularity truly began to grow. With his Dutch-language song 'Beauty & De Brains' (2012), he captured many hearts.

Nielson continued to achieve success with various singles, including duets with Miss Montreal (such as "Hoe") and Bløf (such as "Mannenharten", from the film of the same name). His debut album "Zo Van Aaah Yeah" was released in March 2014 and debuted at the second spot on the Album Top 100 chart. During the production process of his third album, Nielson felt that it was time for a change. Although his guitar had been his faithful companion for years, he opted for a more electronically oriented direction on "Diamant". And with success: both his album and his hit single 'IJskoud' were awarded with an Edison.
