Eek A Mouse | Metropool, Hengelo | 07-11-2025

“Biddy beng-beng, biddy meng-meng!” When you hear those words, you know you’re dealing with none other than Eek-A-Mouse. On Friday, November 7, this legendary and eccentric reggae icon will take the stage live at Metropool Hengelo. And trust us—you don’t want to miss it.

Since exploding onto the dancehall scene in 1979 with his single Once A Virgin, Jamaican-born Ripton Hilton – better known as Eek-A-Mouse – has left an indelible mark on the world of reggae and dancehall. With his unique, nasal vocal tone, quirky scats, and irresistible singjay style, he delivered classics like Wa-Do-Dem, Peeni Walli, and Virgin Girl to global audiences.

But Eek-A-Mouse is more than just a reggae singer. He has collaborated with acts like P.O.D. and OPM, covered Led Zeppelin, and even appeared as Fat Smitty in the iconic film New Jack City. A colorful personality who effortlessly blends genres, he brings a live show that’s energetic, bizarre—and above all—impossibly fun.

In Hengelo, Eek-A-Mouse will be backed by none other than the legendary riddim kings Mafia & Fluxy. Expect timeless classics, deep cult vibes, and a night you’ll never forget.
