GRUPPO SPORTIVO
Stop motion - The 50th Anniversary Tour
Gruppo Sportivo will celebrate its half-century in 2026. It's an event the band can't let pass unnoticed. This year, too, marks the band's final tour of pop venues and festivals, originally from The Hague.
Hey Girl , Beep Beep Love , Disco Really Made It , Tokyo , and Rock 'n' Roll are just a few of the Dutch pop classics you can expect. The legendary band, as we know it Gruppo Sportivo, will also make some unique selections from its extensive repertoire for this final show in their home city.
Besides the distinctive frontman and creative force Vandenburg, the band consists of singers Lies Schilp & Inge Bonthond, aka Bombitas. Keyboardist is the young talent Len de Quant, who took over from his mentor and the late Peter Calicher in 2024. Of course, longtime member and drummer Max Mollinger and bassist Tim Barning are back.
"We're still in good shape and want to leave the stage on a high note. So, one more round to remember," says singer and guitarist Hans Vandenburg .
