It has hit like a bomb: the return of Kane. While it takes André Hazes Jr. six months to sell out half an Ahoy, Dinand Woesthoff is now switching up to five (!) concerts.
The return of the Dinand Woesthoff band Kane is causing quite a stir. They will give comeback concerts in the Ziggo Dome in June next year and have already added a fourth and fifth show to the series due to the enormous demand for tickets. In other words: it is a huge success.
King?
But Maarten van Rossem, who always laughs at the candidates of De Slimste Mens when they don’t know certain things, has never heard of it. Ruud de Wild asks him about it in his afternoon show NPO Radio 2: “What do you think about the band Kane being back together?”
Maarten reacts strikingly to this: “The band King?”
Ruud: “No, the band Kane. Kane.”
Queen?
Maarten doesn’t understand it. “Queen?”
Ruud: “No, Kane.”
A sidekick: “Kane, with Dinand Woesthoff.”
Maarten: “That doesn’t mean anything to her.”
Ruud: “Hmm, okay.”
Maarten: “Are you going to play that now?”
Piano music
Ruud: “Yes, if that’s what you wanted, but I think I’ll play something else now. What kind of music do you have on?”
Maarten grumpy: “I’m talking at the moment, so I don’t have any music on. But if I were to put something on, I would draw from various shelves with a chaotic collection of CDs that I still have here. It is all piano music from the nineteenth century.”
Ruud: “What calms you down?”
Maarten: “Yes, or sometimes not. Sometimes it makes you melancholy. In any case, it probably causes more emotions for me than Kane.”
