The Scene x Syb van der Ploeg

\"Everyone belongs to the world and the world belongs to everyone.\" A sentence that is more current at this moment than ever. After ten years of silence, The Scene is back. The legendary band behind Dutch-language rock classics like ‘Blauw’, ‘Iedereen Is Van De Wereld’ and ‘Open’ is back on stage in 2026 with the original band members and a new voice in the front line: Syb van der Ploeg. Since the farewell of frontman Thé Lau in 2014 and his passing in 2015, the story seemed finished. But some songs do not disappear. Neither do some bands. The musical chemistry remained. The desire too. What started as a memory grew into a necessity again. This reunion is not a look back or a tribute. This is a revival with respect for what was, but with an eye to the future. Syb van der Ploeg honors the heritage of Lau without copying it. Do not expect a museum piece, but a band that brings its classics as they were intended. •••• Television maker and 2 Meter Sessies-enthusiast Jan Douwe Kroeske shares a rich history with The Scene. Between 1987 and 1998 he recorded the band multiple times, which resulted in legendary recordings that were recently released on LP as well. For this special tour, Kroeske dove deep into his archive. The result? A unique selection of well-known fragments and never-before-seen material. Based on personal anecdotes, he sketches a vivid portrait of Thé Lau and his band. A nostalgic and authentic dive into a striking period of Dutch-language rock history, with a starring role for the new singer Syb van der Ploeg.
