Is life rushing past you? Competition is here for anyone who feels like the hare but longs to be the tortoise. As punk as they are poppy, they sit right on the edge of what’s easy on the ear and what’s good for the soul. No social media, no algorithms – the four‑piece (featuring members and former members of <a href="spotify:artist:2GS7B0jEZp2FPg6NH6zJNY" data-name="SERVICE">SERVICE</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:69vKqcCUoTUAwHaooT1pzv" data-name="Waltzburg">Waltzburg</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:30BpvlrcBQA9Sf9M9m8Hv9" data-name="Thaïti">Thaïti</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1gWlC2jXkw13zKRPiMbbDL" data-name="Foxlane">Foxlane</a>) keep their music tangible and free from excess or pretense.
The Nijmegen band Competition first came together within the walls of De Basis and made its debut in the summer of 2025 at the Valkhof Festival. Since that first show, things have moved quickly: from renowned festivals like Misty Fields, Code Oranje and Booster to venues like Doornroosje, Rotown and Muziekgieterij. In the autumn of 2026, Competition is touring the country as part of Popronde, a nationwide traveling showcase festival. It’s their way of proving that things can be done differently. No grand marketing machine; just a website, a newsletter and the power of word‑of‑mouth, with which they steadily win over their audience.
‘Competition made it instantly clear they’re not here to mess about: dancing is the only option. By the third track, not a single person is standing still’
— 3voor12 Eindhoven on their Misty Fields performance
‘Competition is a compelling band with a lot of charm that is definitely ready for a bigger stage and audience’
- 3voor12 Limburg on their 043 show
