Toppers’ 2027 concerts and ticket sales to go ahead as planned after Joling departure

The Toppers’ 2027 concerts are still scheduled for 28 and 29 May, and ticket sales are expected to begin in November, despite Gerard Joling’s departure from the Dutch pop group after 21 years. A spokesperson for the group told the ANP that neither the sales schedule nor the concert dates would change. [1]

Joling announced on Tuesday that he was leaving. He did not give a specific reason, but said there had been tensions. Fellow member Jeroen van der Boom said he had not been told about the announcement in advance and only heard about it when media contacted him for a response. [1]
