The Hague’s Live Music Hub
SINCE 1988

From morning coffee to late-night chaos — since 1988, De Zwarte Ruiter has been the beating heart of the Grote Markt in The Hague. Come for the coffee, the beers on the terrace, and a solid plate of food. Stay for the music.

Always free entry. For over 30 years, bands have been tearing it up on our stage every weekend — playing their hearts out and shredding their guts. From Wodan Boys to Prins S. en De Geit, from Stake to The Opposites. Our stage is soaked in the sweat of Hague legends like Di-Rect, The Deaf, and Son Mieux, who played their first gigs right here.

GREEN MILK FROM THE PLANET ORANGE

een explosieve mix van psychedelische rock, prog, noise en punk. Denk: King Crimson op speed, Sonic Youth in een kosmische storm. De band combineert complexe composities met rauwe energie en chaotische liveshows die grenzen doen vervagen.
