==History== thumb|The Beatles performing in [[Blokker, Netherlands in 1964]] In the 1960s, The Beatles and the Merseybeat sound began to dominate the Dutch charts. The popularity of such music led to interest among Dutch musicians in forming bands to play this type of rock music, replacing a previous genre Indorock performed by Indonesian immigrants in the Netherlands. The interest was further spurred on by the Beatles concerts in the Netherlands in 1964 that drew large crowds, followed by a performance by The Rolling Stones at the Kurhaus in Scheveningen disrupted by an excited audience. The emergence of the popular pirate station Radio Veronica and its creation of the first Top 40 chart in the Netherlands in 1965 also helped spread interest in this music culture.
