Only Joling - The Final Countdown

After more than four decades at the very top of Dutch show business, Gerard Joling announces his final-ever solo concert: Only Joling - The Final Countdown. On Friday 19 and Saturday 20 February 2027, Rotterdam Ahoy will be transformed into the setting for a spectacular, unforgettable and larger-than-life farewell show, as Gerard celebrates his remarkable career one last time together with his audience. An evening filled with music, emotion, glamour and unforgettable moments.

Only Joling - The Final Countdown is much more than a concert. It will be an unparalleled over-the-top spectacle featuring a grand live orchestra, breathtaking visuals, special surprises, Gerard Joling’s trademark humour and heartfelt emotion. A show that captures Gerard exactly as audiences have loved him for decades: flamboyant, genuine and larger than life.

"Without a doubt, this will be the most special and personal show of my entire career. One last time, I want to give everything I have for my fans and create an unforgettable memory together," says Gerard Joling.
