Startblok Finale

Utrecht musical talent competes for first place in the Startblok 2026 final.

Tonight, De Helling is entirely dedicated to Utrecht talent, as it is time for Startblok The Finale! Luca, Bawler, and Salamander take to our stage tonight to show how they have developed over the past few months. Admission to the evening is free.

With Startblok, promising acts from the region are given the opportunity to further develop themselves under the guidance of professionals from the music industry. Throughout the program, each artist works intensively with a coach on a personal development goal.

This year, the jury and coaches consist of Karindra Perrier, Rashida Tauwnaar, Tim van Veenschoten, and Madelon Bruinhof. Tonight is the moment for the artists to showcase their growth and development on stage.

Startblok is the talent development program of venue De Helling and is made possible in part by Music Hub Centraal and the VSB Fund.
