Apeldoorn was all about music on Friday evening, August 28, 2026, during Live in Apeldoorn 2026. Around 4,500 visitors gathered at the Marktplein in Apeldoorn for an evening filled with live performances, well-known artists and, above all, a fantastic atmosphere. As a photographer, I was lucky enough to be there to capture this special evening.
It was a big celebration on the Marktplein from start to finish. From the first minute to the last, the evening was filled with music, singing along, dancing and, above all, a whole lot of fun. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the weather was on our side as well.
MUSIC, SINGING ALONG, DANCING AND LOTS OF FUN!
The evening was opened by DJ Joost, after which various artists took to the stage. The line-up included Menno Aben, Hansen Tomas and Guido van de Graaf, among others. The singers were accompanied by the M&M Live Band, who provided a strong musical foundation throughout the evening. In between the performances, DJ Duncan kept the hits coming with one great mix after another.
Tino Martin performed for an hour. He had also appeared at Live in Apeldoorn last year and once again managed to entertain the audience. It was a performance that was clearly very well received.
One of the special guests was Timothy, known from the Dutch television programme B&B Vol Liefde. For the first time in his career, he performed in front of such a large live audience. A special moment for him, as well as for the crowd.
Then it was time for the big names of the evening. Gerard Joling and Donnie really got the entire Marktplein dancing and singing along. The energy remained high and the audience enthusiastically joined in.
In between these two artists, Mara Julia also made a strong impression with her performance. What a voice that girl has! She showed that she is not only a great stage presence, but also an incredibly talented singer.
After Donnie's performance, DJ Sander kept the party going and once again got the crowd dancing.
Het Feestteam eventually brought Live in Apeldoorn to a close. With plenty of energy and enthusiasm, they pulled out all the stops one more time. At midnight, an amazing evening on the Marktplein in Apeldoorn came to an end.
