DOPE D. O. D. (NED)

30 January 2011 was the starting point of the international career of the Dutch hip hop crew Dope D.O.D. On that day they released their first video ´What Happened’. 

Now, well over a year not only has it gained over 6.5 million views it has paved the way for the boys to get international acknowledgement. Right after the release of ‘What Happened’ the crew got a request from Vidzone (the largest online music video streaming service in the world, part of Sony Computer Entertainment) to show the video as ‘One To Watch’ via its network. This power rotation got the crew international attention resulting in the first performances abroad. At this stage the band got invited for the renowned Iceland Airwaves Festival. Not a bad start at all.

Early June the band was asked to feature as the opening act for Limp Bizkit’s show in Amsterdam. The band accepted and the only thing that still had to happen was the approval of Fred Durst (lead singer of Limp Bizkit). The video for ‘What Happened’ was sent to him and he was so enthusiastic that he invited the band to act as Limp Bizkit´s main support on their continental European tour starting on the 25^th of June. Since then almost all shows they have played have been sold out, whether it be in France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria or the Netherlands. 

Entrance with Lenta or day ticket.
