Are you looking for an impressive rock show full of nostalgia, energy and musical class? Then the Golden Earring Tribute by De Neven van Ed is the act you need to book through ShowBird! This five-piece rock formation from the IJmond region has been around since 2017 and has been performing an impressive tribute to one of Holland's greatest rock legends, Golden Earring, since 2024.
The Cousins of Ed is an energetic rock band from the IJmond region, known for their passion, musicianship and unforgettable live performances. What began as a spontaneous initiative at a kitchen bar quickly grew into a beloved live act at festivals, party weeks and pop venues across the country.
In 2024, they added a Golden Earring Tribute to their set, driven by a shared, deep-rooted love for Holland's greatest rock band. The result? Unanimously enthusiastic responses from new listeners and seasoned Earring fans alike.
The band therefore made a clear choice in late 2025: complete focus on Golden Earring. The band stopped their regular rock repertoire and from 2026 will only perform this tribute, straight from the heart.
For over 50 years,
Golden Earring left an indelible impression with such classics as Radar Love, Twilight Zone, When The Lady Smiles, Another 45 Miles and Going To The Run. Although the band stopped in 2021, the music lives on. Ed Cousins bring that magic back: with respect for the original, a flawless sound and the raw energy that made Golden Earring so unique.
What to expect
- A smashing live show full of Earring hits and surprising hidden gems from the Earring repertoire.
- On request the show can be further enhanced with a horn section, fireworks and visuals.
- Professional musicians with years of stage experience.
- A tribute that blows away fans and new listeners alike.
- Audience reactions that are unanimously laudatory, even from die-hard Golden Earring fans.
- No imitation, but a sincere celebration of the music that connected generations.
The Cousins of Ed do not do costume parties, talent shows or commercial tricks. No acting, no fake story. Just five musicians who themselves have been huge Golden Earring fans for years, have seen the Earring live dozens of times and play this music because they love it unconditionally. That this works, they already proved in 2025 on the main stage of festival CuliNESSE, where they shared the stage with big names like Anouk, Goldband, Flemming and Claude.

They gave a sparkling performance. Golden Earring's hits were well performed and the passion radiates from this band. If they then also make a heavy outing, venue is lost.

What a tasty band! The fun and passion burst from their performances. I don't live near "The Cousins" but I once went with a friend who does live in the area. It was a party! And now I have already attended a few performances. Their repertoire is large and very diverse. Lots of "blowing along" to big hits from my youth. Fantastic. There are going to be many more visits from me to their performances. (via Google)

Fantastic band, great sound and above all The Cousins keep real music alive. The ripping of the guitar, the drum solos going through the body but above all the fun the gentlemen exude is contagious. Standing still is impossible!!! (via Google)

Super good band. Love going to the gigs. The Golden Earring Tribute last year was already super and this one promises to be an even bigger spectacle. Looking forward to it already. Keep up the good work, guys. (via Google)
