Willy Sommers - More than 50 years of hits

Willy Sommers celebrates more than 50 years of hits, and you can feel it from the very first note. An icon who continues to connect generations. Whether you are young, old, a fan of Dutch-language music or not: everyone can sing along to “Zeven anjers, zeven rozen”. Fifty-four years ago, in 1971, Vlaanderen Willy De Gieter and his monster hit were introduced to the world. The song would change his career and his life. He went from an anonymous student to a famous poster boy and a beloved teen idol. In 2025 – more than fifty years later! – Willy Sommers is an indispensable part of Flemish show business – as a singer, presenter, and entertainer, and an absolute icon. Willy Sommers: “More than fifty years after I took my first steps on stage, I still feel like that energetic 18-year-old boy. Although, of course, I have racked up quite a few miles by now. Enough, at any rate, to bring an evening-filling program with hits for young and old!”
