Marlon Pichel – "The Upcoming King of Rock & Soul"
Rotterdam’s own Marlon Pichel returns to his hometown to kick off his brand-new club tour. Earlier this year, he opened the concert season at BIRD with a sold-out show bursting with soul, fire, and raw energy. In 2026, he’s back in full force with a brand-new live show at LantarenVenster, in collaboration with BIRD Rotterdam.
The tour celebrates his new album Took You to the Movies a record that sounds like a love letter to the golden era of soul and rock ’n’ roll. Recorded according to the authentic STAX Records specifications of the late 1960s, the album captures everything Marlon stands for: authenticity, groove, and passion.
Singer, drummer, and songwriter Marlon Pichel moves effortlessly between genres. With his raw, soulful voice, rhythmic finesse, and seven-piece band, he breathes new life into the spirit of the sixties, without ever sounding nostalgic. In 2025, he played over 35 festivals across the Netherlands, securing his place in the national music scene. He signed with PDM (the label of Danny Vera), collaborated with Excelsior and Friendly Fire, and appeared on Radio Veronica, Radio 538, VPRO On Stage with Ilse DeLange, and RTL Late Night with Humberto Tan.
His first club tour sold out entirely and 2026 promises to be even bigger. Expect a night full of soul, groove, and rock ’n’ roll, all delivered in true Pichel style. Marlon Pichel confirms what many already knew: he is "The Upcoming King of Rock & Soul".
