Netherlands
Praatstoel
ESNS: 2026
Hip Hop
Hij zit weer op de praatstoel'. That's what Dutch people say when someone just doesn't know how to stop talking. The 'Praatstoel' – or 'talking chair' – therefore has a bad rep: it is seen as something bad, something evil, something vain. And rightly so. People who sit on the Praatstoel usually don't have anything useful to say. That's why wé sat on it. Praatstoel is here for the things you dó want to hear. It's the world's freshest super trio made up of front men Thijs van de Vorstenbosch (Leuk Gevonden) and Tom Röfekamp (not sure, Lauwe Kriek, tomas) and producer titan Giga Roy (almost everything). With their mix of hard-hitting hiphop, danceable electro and endless enthusiasm, Praatstoel even gets the stiffest of wallflowers moving. Case in point: their debut show at Simplon UP, which they managed to sell out for the third time in the 20-year history of the event.
