Nekka-Nacht

The first edition dates from 1969. Until 1970, the event was called Kazuno. From 1971 it was organized as Nekka. Back then, other-language artists also performed, and it was rather known as a folk-festival. The first Nekka-Nacht editions in 1994 and 1995 didn't have one specific main guest yet. Since 1996, different artists perform the songs of one main singer or band. In 2013, a compilation album 20 Jaar Nekka Nacht was released. == Central guests ==
