About Zeilsteen
Zeilsteen Kick-ass Radio exists for one simple reason: not all great music gets the airtime it deserves.
More than 27 years ago, founder Herman Zeilstra started the station with a straightforward idea: play music because it's worth hearing, not because it's climbing the charts. That idea hasn't changed.
You'll hear alternative pop and rock, familiar artists alongside unexpected discoveries, carefully selected instead of endlessly repeated. No algorithms, no playlists built around trends or marketing targets. Just music with character.
Over the years, Zeilsteen has found a loyal audience of listeners who prefer discovering music over following the crowd. It's not about playing the biggest hits. It's about playing the songs that stay with you.
