Description was written before the event

The Tangent brings progressive rock to Poppodium Boerderij in Zoetermeer on Friday, 18 September. This is one of only two Dutch dates on the tour. Poppodium Boerderij, housed in a former farmhouse since its founding in 1971, has established itself as a key venue for pop music in the Netherlands. The venue has built a strong reputation over the decades as a launching pad for emerging talent. A support act opens the evening.

About: The Tangent

For over two decades Andy Tillison has steered The Tangent through sprawling jazz-prog epics and politically charged lyrics, rarely clocking in under ten minutes. The band has performed in the Netherlands before and releases their fourteenth studio album 'Was' in October 2026.
