wall of fame

De Doelen welcomes you to visit our walk of fame, 24 of the biggest and most iconic names that have blessed de Doelen with a concert and are part of the rich history.

Open for viewing before and after your concert.


Twenty four original posters bring back moments when iconic artists took the stage and left their mark on what de Doelen is today. From legendary names to nights that have remained part of the collective memory.

The focus is not only on who performed, but especially on the era in which it happened. The atmosphere of those times comes back to life. What is shown here forms the foundation for what is yet to come. The names that will shape the future continue to build on this history.
