Not yet, but there will be one!

Avro Vulcan XH558, the last flying Vulcan bomber left, will perform a display at the Air force show at Volkel, 19 and 20 June this summer.

That alone should be enough to bring any aviation enthusiast in a 100 mile radius to Volkel, but ther rest of the program isn't bad either:

Displayteams:

Patrouille de France (Eight Alphajets)
Red Arrows (Only on Friday, nine Bae Hawks)
Patrulla Aguila (Spain, Seven Casa 101 Aviojets)
Turkish stars (Eight former RNLAF NF-5's)
Royal Jordanian Hawks (Four Extra 300L's)
Viper Display Team (Four BAe Strikemasters)
The SKHV will also bring several of their historic aircraft

Solo displays:
RNLAF F-16AM (In the new orange/black paint)
BAF F-16AM
RAF Eurofighter Typhoon (Friday only)
RNLAF Hawker Hunter
Saab J105 (Austria)
RAF Bae Hawk T1 (Friday only)

Static display:
Westland Merlin HM.1
Westland Sea King Mk.48
Boeing CC-177 Globemaster (RCAF)
Boeing C-17 Globemaster (USAF)
Boeing E-3 AWACS (Nato)
Yak 50 & 52

More will be added in the next months!

......But wait! There's more to see this year!

On Sunday September 20th there will be an airshow in Sanicole, Belgium (Just below Eindhoven) which will be as spectacular as the Volkel show if I look at the program!

Patrouille de Suisse (F-5 Tigers), Mirage F1, EF-18 Hornet and the RNLAF are some of the modern aircraft on display, but it's the classics that will steal the show this year!

The SKHV will bring their Spitfire, Harvard(s) and Beech 18, the Battle of Britain memorial flight will join with their C-47, Spitfire and Hurricane, but the most interesting part will come from Austria, as Red Bull will bring their F-4U Corsair and a P-38 Lightning!

And if that's not enough to see, you can always visit the Dutch Legends airshow at Lelystad in the last weekend (Friday till Sunday) of August. No info just yet, just a teaser which you will find here:
