We are very proud to announce that we will be the support act for guitar hero Eric Steckel on Saturday October 21, 2023! Eric is seen as one of the greatest talents within his genre. With his signature blues metal sound he leaves the crowd breathless time and time again, and we are really looking forward to firing up the crowd during this epic event! It’s going to be one hell of a night, so make sure you don’t miss it!

Box of Kings is a rock band from the Netherlands. Their debut EP Symphony of Superficiality (SoS) was released in 2019 and was well received. The band was nominated no less than 3 times at the Dutch 3 voor 12 Awards, including Best Newcomer and Best Album.
