“Ladies and Gentlemen, and Children of all Adult Ages, step right up to a world stranger than fiction, as the Rock ‘n Rave Circus is about to begin!”

May I have your undivided attention please …

In honor of Disco Dinosaur Joost van Bellen’s 25th DJ anniversary the Rock ‘n Rave Circus will be touring Holland and Belgium. Coming to you soon: a spectacular sideshow inspired by old-fashioned circuses from the era of Barnum & Bailey, late 80ies raves and rock opera’s such as Tommy and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

In the Hall of Fame of the Rock ‘n Rave Circus be prepared for personalities the likes of DJ Wannabe A Star (the girl with the giant octopussy breath), Melomanics (the crazy circus band from hell), Aux Raus (the great hardcore hypnotists band), Boemklatsch (the world famous trapeze team from Transylvania) and of course the guest of honor himself … the Man behind the Moustache …
Bearded Lady, move over and make room for the Elephantastic Master of Ceremony: Joost van Bellen!

Beware! This world-renowned, wild running bunch of artists will be escorted by some of our most extravagant and exciting acts, only set free from their cages on special party occasions like these. We proudly present Ringmaster Monsieur Plastique, eccentric extraordinaire Bas Kosters, sexy circus mascot Shirley with her musical clown act, the human cannibal and many, many more!

Be prepared! Look forward to a massive, cacophonic fanfare, marching from dirty disco to hard rock, trumpeting back to old school hip-hop from gabber punk before holding back next to Baltimore breaks to finally spin a perfectly ponderous pirouette. All of course at the speed of lightning, pirouette included!

Wink!’s circus showmen and -women transform every party venue into a circus marquee with loads of whistles and Joost van Bells on.

This website is your roadmap to our whereabouts, whoabouts and whatabouts. But remember and remember fondly: a quality circus always stinks and never runs smoothly. Just the way we love it.

Diesel:U:Music
Before the party really gets started, we’d like to give you an earful of the following: all these cunning clowns doing somersaults, the smell of tiger urine in the morning and all other aspects of the Rock ‘n Rave Circus are made possible by Diesel.
From 2001 onwards, Diesel not only puts the best denim together, but as Diesel:U:Music also stitches together the best, newest, youngest musical talents.

In the last nine years, the scouts of Diesel:U:Music have been searching for the stars of tomorrow. They’ve licked clean their cheeks, gave them the right combination of fibre and vitamins and pushed them in front of a hungry audience. The centre of attention being far beyond cool couture or the latest fashion in hairstyles … it’s all about unique, musical talent!
Earlier editions delivered such arrived names as Mylo, Diplo, Cool Kids, The Glimmers and We Are Scientists.

Last year Diesel:U:Music turned a new leaf, turning itself into an online community providing a worldwide stage for young musical geniuses. Geniuses so fresh they are easily mistaken for newborn babies taking their first powernap in a cradle ready to rock.
So, be prepared for an ongoing stream of promising acts getting rid of their cold feet before a larger than life audience they could ever imagine.

That’s why, during the Rock ‘n Rave Circus tour you’re going to be face to face and ear to ear with a freshly faced, clean cut lucky dog from the stable of Diesel:U:Music. Get ready for a show that’ll leave you standing with your mouth wide open and your pants dropped down to the floor.
