Splendid

About

Splendid doesn't just play music; they orchestrate a beachfront bonfire party and invite the world. The Hague-based collective, a mainstay of the Dutch music scene for two decades, built their reputation on sunshine-soaked ska and reggae fusions, expertly laced with funk and hip-hop grooves. Think UB40 colliding with Red Hot Chili Peppers on a Caribbean island. Splendid’s career, launched in the early 2000s, steadily gained momentum through relentless touring and energetic live performances. They eschewed major label deals, opting instead for an independent path, fostering a loyal fanbase through grassroots connections. Their infectious energy and positive vibes became their signature. More than just a band, Splendid represents a vibrant, inclusive community. Their music is an anthem for good times, a reminder to embrace the present moment, and a soundtrack for sun-drenched memories. Though they've shared stages with international acts like Madness and The Wailers, Splendid's impact remains rooted in their connection with their Dutch audience. Recent projects continue to reflect their commitment to feel-good music, evolving their sound while staying true to their core principles. The band remains a powerful live act, proving their enduring appeal and cementing their place as a beloved staple of the European festival circuit.
