Exactly fifty years after The Band's legendary farewell concert, Rotterdam-based Dawn Brothers bring The Last Waltz to Dutch theatres. With only thirteen concerts in November and December 2026, this is not a tour you will "catch one more time", but a rare chance to be there. The Maaspoort Theatre gig is part of this exceptionally limited series.

On 25 November 1976, The Band bid farewell at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. The concert was immortalised in Martin Scorsese's famous film and became a cultural landmark. With their quirky mix of rock, folk, country and blues, The Band left an indelible mark on music history and laid the foundation for what we call Americana today.

The Dawn Brothers have their sound deeply rooted in the folk rock and Americana tradition. With their polyphonic vocals and raw, energetic live approach, they are undoubtedly the obvious band to carry this tribute. Not for nothing have they been on leading stages for years, from North Sea Jazz to Americanafest in Nashville.

& Friends: An evening full of musical heavyweights
For this special Venlo edition, the Dawn Brothers will be joined by a selection of special guest artists. Together, they form a cross-section of the pearls of the contemporary Dutch roots and Americana scene, complemented by leading international musicians who call the Netherlands home.

On the stage in De Doelen will be soul powerhouse Michelle David, singer-songwriter Tim Knol, the charismatic voice of Cato van Dijck (My Baby), wordsmith and performer Nico Dijkshoorn, blues virtuoso Ian Siegal, drummer and singer Darryl Ciggaar, yéyé-popicoon Fleur Elman and, of course, Pablo van de Poel, guitarist of DeWolff, the band the Dawn Brothers are proud to count among their musical 'besties'.

50 Years The Last Waltz at Maaspoort in Venlo is a once-in-a-lifetime live experience celebrating a legendary concert with the energy and urgency of today. An evening you won't want to miss.
