We’re proud to announce that singer Ritchie Lahnstein will be performing live at LoveSwim 2025! With his powerful voice, warm presence, and energetic performance, he’s set to deliver a musical highlight on the banks of the Amstel.
Ritchie is a singer, songwriter, and performer, known in the queer pop scene and celebrated for his soulful, funky and pop-infused sound. He began singing at the age of 15, developing his own style through early demos, and made his breakthrough in 2013 on Talpa’s The Next Pop Talent. Since then, he has continued to impress with his vocal strength and compelling live shows. You can listen to his music on Spotify, watch performances on YouTube, or follow him on Instagram for behind-the-scenes updates.
In recent years, Ritchie has released multiple albums and singles:
-
Big Pink Cadillac (2023)
-
Powerful and Sleigh Queen (The Christmas Album) (2024)
-
A Live EP (2025), featuring tracks like Angel, I Didn’t Know My Own Strength and Be My Own Hero
He previously performed at Pride Amsterdam, including on the Dam Square and the Zeedijk, where his voice and stage presence left a strong impression. To now have him perform at LoveSwim feels like the perfect match.
Date: Friday 25 July 2025

LoveSwim is more than a swimming event. It’s a celebration of freedom, visibility, and connection — and with live music like Ritchie’s, that energy will ripple far beyond the water.
