Doe Maar (Dutch pronunciation: [du ˈmaːr]; transl. "go ahead" or "just do it") was a Dutch pop band that combined punk, ska, and reggae influences. Formed in 1978, they broke up in 1984, reunited in 2000, and remained sporadically active from then until 2021, when their frontman, Henny Vrienten, died. They are considered to be one of the most successful pop bands in Dutch history. Throughout their career, the band released five studio albums, four live albums, ten compilations, and numerous singles.
