The Making of De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig (2025)

In the year that De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig celebrates its twentieth anniversary, The Making of De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig doesn't just take a look behind the scenes – it pulls open the emergency door and lets the smoke, memories and myths roll out. Four friends, Wiwa, Vjèze Fur, Faberyayo and Bas Bron, once brought together by chaos, have grown into a cultural phenomenon that has set the tone for two decades and influenced multiple generations. With hits such as Watskeburt?!, they made their own mark on the music industry: creative, innovative and humorous.

As the band works towards their anniversary concerts in the Ziggo Dome, defining moments from their career are brought back to life with actors and archive material, blurring fact and fiction in a witty and sometimes disruptive way. Interviews, memories and fabrications flow effortlessly into each other, painting a picture of a group that continues to reinvent itself. The Making of De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig is not a traditional band biography, but a quirky, clever and occasionally uncontrolled ride, just like the group itself: unpredictable, funny, sharp and still in great shape.

Melkweg often hosts different types of programmes at the same time, such as concerts, club nights and films. Please note that there may occasionally be some noise pollution from other programmes during the screening.
