Rock Urbanus

On Saturday evening, October 5th, music lovers can once again indulge in the annual Bovenkerk band night, Rock Urbanus. This year, the musical event at the Noorddamcentrum is dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the municipality of Amstelveen. Rock Urbanus is Bovenkerk's musical gift to the birthday town and its residents.

The Rock Urbanus band night promises to be an amazing party with live music from five well-known bands with Bovenkerk roots. The doors open at 7:30 PM. Entry and snacks are free.

Rock Urbanus isn't just about rock; bands will also perform (Dutch) pop, blues, soul, and disco. Rock Urbanus is a celebration for everyone, young and old. And of course, the evening is not only a musical fest but also a big reunion of old friends from Amstelveen and the surrounding area.

Rock Urbanus was founded 15 years ago when three musician friends (Gert Bohncke, Oscar Bon, and Stijn Broeder) came up with the idea to organize an annual band night on the first Saturday of October at the Noorddamcentrum. Bovenkerk bands or bands with a connection to Bovenkerk (at least one of the band members is from Bovenkerk) perform at this music event voluntarily. Rock Urbanus has been attracting a loyal audience from the Amstelveen region for years. Admission is always free!

The Rock Urbanus organizing team consists entirely of volunteers. The band night is made possible by Stichting Bovenkerk and Hans Pappot of the Noorddamcentrum. The sound engineering is in the trusted hands of Addicted to Sound.
