Esther I am calling you out!

This post is dedicated to you! You must go to this show! Oh and I am booking my flights to MSP for May 16-20, will you be there at least one of the days I will be there???

Oh how I wish I could go to this:

After a successful first edition in 2006 (including Jamie Cullum), JOHN MAYER, DONAVON FRANKENREITER and ROOM ELEVEN will make their appearance during this special festival in the Hague Zuiderpark on June 22. The full line-up will be published soon.

Headliner John Mayer will be no less than a half-long show away. Mayer is a fantastic. He conveys a special charisma while he stands on stage and each track is played with feeling. This combination produces a magical show. His last show in the Netherlands was also sold out within 10 minutes. His most recent album 'Continuum' won two Grammy Awards.

After his last sold-out concert in Amsterdam at Paradiso Donavon Frankenreiter is looking forward to his next show in the Netherlands. He, together with his band, is currently busy with the recording of his third studio album.

Room Eleven just released their sophomore album. The album 'Mmm… Gumbo?' Comes out on March 14 and contains a catchy mix of jazz, pop, funk, blues and a touch of folk. It was recorded with none other than Dayna Kurtz and her regular producer Randy Crafton.

These bands, an island in the park, roses, sandwiches and friends are the ingredients for a perfect day out during PICNIC IN THE PARK.

Doors open: 13:00h
Commencement program: 14:00h

Admission: € 49, - (Excluding service).
Tickets start next Saturday, February 23.
