Poster for the concert by American band OSEES at Paradiso on Sunday, May 18, 2025. Led by manic frontman John Dwyer, OSEES has released countless records since forming in 1997. Their sound, featuring guitars, synths, and not one but two drummers, blends psychedelic music with garage rock. This aesthetic was the inspiration for the poster designed by illustrator Job van Rijen.

The Buena Vista Orchestra is a continuation of the world-renowned Buena Vista Social Club. With roots in Havana, the original group brought traditional Cuban music to an international audience. For the show at Paradiso, originally scheduled for May 16, 2025, but now moved to 2026, designer Bas Steens created a colorful poster. He draws inspiration from all things mysterious, whether it’s a place or landscape like the desert, or mythical stories and symbols. 

Illustrator Roos Bakx created this poster for the concert by London band Fat Dog on April 14 in Paradiso’s Main Hall. Fat Dog sounds like a mix of krautrock, punk, ska, and electronic music. Roos Bakx’s work is inspired by the pop culture of her youth, creating unique worlds and characters that come to life in her art.
