This is what’s happening at GROUNDS this June!

This Sunday, we’re filling the venue with screaming guitars, haunting rhythms, smoking feedback, and futuristic synths. Dope Purple are coming all the way from Taiwan to Rotterdam to take us on a psychedelic journey.

From the other side of the world comes La Forastería. Colorful, mystical, and irresistibly danceable, they bring a unique energy to the stage. At GROUNDS, you’ll have the perfect opportunity to catch a glimpse of their magic as La Forastería enchants you with their ecstatic celebration of life.

Also this month, straight from Rotterdam, we welcome none other than Ntjam Rosie. This tour is all about her personal story. She will perform songs from her latest self-titled album, paying tribute to her dual identity: African roots and European influences.

And of course, we have many more amazing events lined up for the coming months. Be sure to check out our full program at grounds.nu, where you can also grab your tickets.

We can’t wait to see you there. See you soon!

Coming to GROUNDS: NTJAM ROSIE

The Cameroon-born singer blends jazz, soul, pop, R&B and African rhythms into a captivating whole like no other. With the release of her second album ELLE in 2010, Ntjam Rosie won hearts both nationally and internationally. And in 2012, she made a wonderful musical impression with her double CD Live at GROUNDS, further highlighting the power of her rich and warm voice.

On 24 April 2026, her ninth, self-titled album Ntjam Rosie will be released. It marks her return to what is important to her: identity, motherhood, faith and artistic freedom. With the singles ‘In Your Arms’ and ‘Better,’ she has already given a preview of how versatile this album will be: on the one hand, very personal and intimate, but on the other hand, also groovy and danceable. By adding an extra dose of charm and joy to her live performances, she is sure to make it a big party at GROUNDS once again.

Coming to GROUNDS: DOPE PURPLE

This five-piece psychedelic noise rock/space-psychedelic band from Taipei, Taiwan, was formed around 2016. Since then, they channel influences from hard rock, noise and psychedelia with a particular emphasis on sounds from the Japanese underground and turn them into a cosmic guitar explosion. As hosts of the Taipei Psychedelic Rock Festival, they are also committed to promoting Taiwan’s psychedelic rock culture.

Dope Purple’s new album ‘Children In The Darkness’ was recorded when the band hosted a live midnight recording session at Revolver, Taipei. The album only has three tracks, but it takes you on a 50-minute meditative journey through the infinite darkness and deafening noise of the night. So buckle up for a mind-blowing experience during their live show at GROUNDS.

Their live set seamlessly blends Afro and Latin American roots with modern and electronic genres, utilizing a variety of instruments like guitar, charango, synths, percussion, and live vocals. This fusion creates a distinctive sound that resonates within the indie, psychedelic, world music, and folktronic scenes.

In 2025 they released their newest album Épicas Sagradas. Infused with joy and celebration, each track invites the listener into a rich and spirited world where ancestral wisdom meets contemporary soul. Flowing through varied tempos yet always riding high vibrations, this creation takes you on a journey that inspires you to smile, to dance, to share, and to simply be happy and free.

Coming to GROUNDS: TAMIKREST

What started back in 2006 with two homemade guitars and a passion for Tinariwen’s music quickly turned into a worldwide sensation. Argentina, Canada, Japan or GROUNDS: Tamikrest shines like an oasis in the desert everywhere they go. Inspired by the rich cultural heritage of the Tuaregs, they bring the poetry and language of the Tamasheq to life in a unique blend of traditional desert sounds and modern rock influences.

Their new album will be released on May 15, a raw rock record in which they reveal their reflections on the Sahara and their eternal longing for a free world in a mesmerising way. At live shows, this intensifies into a vibrant burst of energy: like a powerful sandstorm at full speed, Tamikrest blasts its way straight to your heart.

Just Confirmed: SAMBA TOURÉ

The renowned Malian guitar legend Samba Touré is returning to GROUNDS following his fantastic show in 2025! And this time for a very special performance, as he will be paying tribute to his mentor Ali Farka Touré, 20 years after his death.

Samba Touré began his career as the lead singer of the band Farafina Lolo, where his exceptional talent caught the attention of the legendary Ali Farka Touré. Under his guidance, Samba Touré made the transition to more traditional music and went on to become one of West Africa’s leading musicians. Since then, he is often asked what influence Ali Farka Touré has had on him. And what better way to answer than with a musical tribute?

JUST CONFIRMED: DE BARON

With generous doses of polder punk, Balkan brass and Saharan sounds, De Baron takes you on a musical journey from west to east. With one goal in mind: to throw a big party wherever they go. Because every attempt to make the world a little better deserves to be celebrated.

De Baron lovingly blends anarchism with boundless energy. Like a raging sea of crashing waves, the eclectic sounds and spellbinding melodies wash over you. One moment you’re dancing on a ship of the ‘brown fleet’ and singing about marrying a mermaid; the next, you’re launching a direct attack on consumerism.
