Chris & Davina And The Roadhouse Collective
"Music is a language we all speak" Blues, rock, soul, and country as it once was, in a modern and recognizable style. Chris & Davina are a musical duo passionate about music from the 60s to contemporary music. They primarily create Blues, Rock, Soul, and Country music inspired by the past. A Roadhouse is a place where musicians and travelers come together, where music is founded and embraced from the various cultures that are brought together. From fierce rock to atmospheric blues. Sensitive soul, and creamy ballads. A language that is not limited to anyone. This band connects the true 'roots' of past music and turns it into something new. Through their recognizable melodies, profound lyrics, and stories, they connect the music of the past with today's audience.

Alien Ant Farm
De leden van Alien Ant Farm brachten in 1999 hun eerste plaat uit, die ze voor het gemak maar meteen Greatest Hits noemden. Het was echter 2002 - de hoogtijdagen van nu-metal - toen ze pas echt echt een hit scoorden met de ironische alt-metal cover van Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal en successen behaalden met nummers als ‘Movies’ en ‘Wish’.

House of Confetti invites Cuntdown at Zomerparkfeest
Cuntdown is the ultimate ballroom battle arena of House of Vineyard, where teams come together to compete, vogue, and conquer the ring. For this special showcase edition, Legendary Mother Amber Vineyard brings together the most impressive talents from the Dutch Ballroom Scene for an unprecedented show full of Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent. Who will dominate the ring? Let the battles speak for themselves! House of Vineyard, founded in 2014 by Amber Vineyard, is the first ballroom house in the Netherlands. Ballroom culture originated in New York as a safe space primarily for the Black and Latinx queer and trans community. Many members come from marginalized groups and have found their own chosen family within it. With House of Confetti invites Cuntdown, House of Confetti bridges the gap between the ballroom scene and the audience of Zomerparkfeest. This collaboration celebrates the power of self-expression, community, and performance. Turn up the cunt! This event takes place during Zomerparkfeest on Friday, August 14, 2026, at 9:00 PM in TEATRO and is free of charge.
