History

The Ladies of Soul, already connected through relatives and friends, were first brought together in 2012 for a series of Whitney Houston-memorial-concerts in 2012. These were organised by Tjeerd Oosterhuis, Trijntje's producer brother and Rombley's husband. Other singers also appeared at the concerts (Do, Leona Philippo and Tania Kross); only Philipo, winner of The Voice of Holland, ended up making a special-guest-appearance.

In November 2013 they issued a single, I'll Carry You, as a teaser for their first two shows at Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome on 13 and 14 February 2014. These were recorded for cd- and DVD-release. Thus setting the blueprint for subsequent editions; three shows in Amsterdam plus one in Belgium at Antwerp's Lotto Arena featuring Natalia Druyts as special guest. Oosterhuis was only unavailable the Antwerp show in 2016, and announced her departure after the 2017 leg which completely sold out. She made a guest-appearance at the 5th anniversary-shows on March 23 and 24, 2018.[1]

The remaining Ladies appeared in an NPO 2-documentary following their preparations for the 2019 leg, as well as their solo-careers.

In 2020, the Ladies announced that their next show will take place on November 20, 2020.
