Nekka-Nacht (Eng. Nekka-Night) is an annual event organized in Antwerp, Belgium. Traditionally, it celebrates the career of a Dutch-language artist from Flanders or the Netherlands.




History


The first edition dates from 1969. Until 1970, the event was called Kazuno. From 1971 it was organized as Nekka. Back then, other-language artists also performed, and it was rather known as a folk-festival. The first Nekka-Nacht editions in 1994 and 1995 didn't have one specific main guest yet. Since 1996, different artists perform the songs of one main singer or band.
In 2013, a compilation album 20 Jaar Nekka Nacht was released.
