With his second album, HOOFD, NONCHELANGE is making a bid for the title of “the most famous Dutch rock album ever.” While irony usually takes center stage with NONCHELANGE, following his success on TikTok, that goal might not be so far-fetched after all. Fortunately, he’s still keeping it real this year at Oerol, performing his Dutch rock anthems about masculinity and growing older.
NONCHELANGE describes himself as “actually quite the pleaser.” Perhaps that’s logical on stage, especially in an era where trends seem to dictate the music. Does he follow the rhythm of the algorithm? Or does he stay true to his stubborn self? His latest record is a Dutch-language rock album and an ode to his musical muse: rock! As you’ve come to expect from NONCHELANGE, he bends the genre to his will—delivering a sound that is both nostalgic and innovative with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, charisma, and chaos.
