History

Van Der Dijs was formed in Caracas in 2024.[1] Their repertoire mixed elements of nu metal, rap rock, and alternative rock.[2] In 2025, the group participated in the Festival Nuevas Bandas, one of the main events for discovering new artists in Venezuela.[3]

During 2026, the band released the singles 15 Minutos, VENPAKA, and ¿DÓNDE ESTÁN?, in addition to performing in different cities across the country.[4] The group also had shows scheduled for Punto Fijo and Valencia.[5]

Death of the members

On June 24, 2026, all four members of the band were killed when a doublet earthquake collapsed the Costamar II building, located in Tanaguarena, in the state of La Guaira, where they were rehearsing.[6] Bassist Xander Hernandez was reported to have initially survived, but later succumbed to his injuries while receiving medical attention.[7]

The musicians' deaths were confirmed by the Center for Modern Art and Culture (CCAM), where the band had performed a few days earlier.[5] The incident received widespread coverage in the Venezuelan and international press.
