The Great Vacation is the sixth studio album by Dutch rock band Johan. It was released on 26 January 2024, and received good reviews by critics.[2][3][4] Like all of Johan's music, it was released on the Excelsior Recordings label.[5] The album was delayed numerous times due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then a glut of releases by the record label. The album was the first of the bands releases that wasn't exclusively written by Jacco de Greeuw. All songs were written by him and guitarist Robin Berlijn.[2] The albums title also refers the period of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
