How 1500+ performances experience makes the difference
From ordinary party band to international live-sensation
Everyone extatic! Not just an empty slogan, but a mission. A sacred goal. Tattooed on the soul of every band member.
Q5 goes to the max. That feeling when you wake up with a massive hangover and think: This was all more than worth it. Then the goal is achieved!
Hoe het begon…
The band was founded in 2005, with only a month until the first official performance. An impossible task that showcases the band's immense drive and ambition. The tone was set.
From the third year onwards, Q5 performs over 150 shows per year across the Netherlands. The band quickly grows into one of the most successful party bands of the moment.
The secret?
Entertain like a band, but think like a DJ. In other words... maximum interaction and immediately responding to the audience without a fixed setlist. It proves to be a golden vision that captivates every audience.
En dan begint het te kriebelen… de interactie van een band… en de flexibiliteit van een DJ… 🤔
BINGO!
New style with maximum impact
Met dezelfde toewijding werkt de band een jaar lang aan een totaal nieuw concept. Een totaalbeleving met maximale impact!
The starting point:
- Live sensation with DJ as part of the band.
- Mega light and video show, inspired by famous international acts
- Original repertoire with both band and DJ elements
- High sing-a-long factor
- Tempo and variety
- Rock the place!
Abroad
The innovative and unique show quickly attracts interest across borders. Q5 gains a foothold in the German MEGA tents. In addition, the band performs in Belgium, Switzerland, and Austria. Q5 also becomes popular with large (national and international) companies that want to treat their employees to a unique and spectacular live show.
Ultimate total experience
Since then, Q5 has continuously refined the concept. The goal? The ultimate total experience! An experience where you get lost in the moment, forget everything for a while, and everyone gets ecstatic!
This is how Q5 rocks every!

Meet the band
Janine
This powerhouse with envy-inducing curls is a striking presence on stage. She captivates you with her voice, performance, and infectious enthusiasm. With Janine, it's always a party, both on and off the stage.
Wouter
Fast raps, shredding guitar, and a deadly wink. This creative multitasker has it all. Wouter always goes all out and effortlessly takes every audience along in that flow.

This German rock chick is one-of-a-kind. Silly doesn't just play the bass, she owns the whole room! Her celebrity lifestyle leaves many influencers in the dust.
DJ Def
Foppe, alias DJ Def is het geheime wapen van de band. Omringd door knopjes is hij helemaal in zijn element. Vingervlug op zijn keys en beukend achter de ‘wheels of steel’ geeft hij Q5 die unieke sound.
Thomas
His drumming is tighter than his bun, his performance rougher than his beard. Thomas behind the drum kit is like an octopus with 9 arms. Ready to rock every venue.

On the internet, Q5 is offered for less. How is that possible?
Q5 is offered by many different booking agencies. Not all of these agencies regularly update their prices. As a result, it may appear that you can book the band for less through them.
A lower price is therefore not accurate!
Q5 is exclusively affiliated with the booking agency Only Bands. Requests through the website are directed there. Direct booking via Only Bands has the advantage of having very short lines of communication with the band.
If you prefer to work with a different agency, it's possible to book Q5 through your trusted partner at no extra cost.
