The Kids are a Belgian punk rock band formed in 1976. In several interviews, Kids-singer Ludo Mariman named The Ramones, The Sex Pistols and Eddie and the Hot Rods as the main influences for their music.

The group broke up around 1986, but came back together in 1996 for the soundtrack recording of the Belgian film Dief (Thief). They have been together even since and still play gigs around the world.

  • 1976: Inspired by the upcoming punk wave, Ludo Mariman and the De Haes brothers formed The Kids.
  • 1977: The Kids signed their first record contract with Phonogram. They played support acts for Iggy Pop and Patti Smith.
  • 1978: Their first album The Kids was recorded and guitarist Luk van de Poel reinforced the band. The same year they played at the famous Jazz Bilzen festival. Eight months later the second album Naughty Kids was released.
  • 2008: The Kids play at the Lokerse Feesten festival with The Sex Pistols, New York Dolls and The Buzzcocks.
