turns out it needed to be post_date instead of simply date, this is the working code.

            case 'concertdatum':
               $wp_query_args['meta_query'] = array(        
                                                    'datum_clause' => array('key' => 'datum','compare' => 'EXISTS')
                                                   );
              $wp_query_args['orderby'] = array('datum_clause' => 'DESC', 'post_date' => 'DESC');
            	break;

For some odd reason however, the mega menu that my theme uses refuses to sort the posts like I request it to, but that’s a different question not for this site 😉

Ah, so if the custom field is a date time field, which upon closer look it is, I need to alter the code probably ?

Currently I have this but it still puts the published date first, unless I misunderstood you and did something wrong of course…

case 'concertdatum2':
         $wp_query_args['meta_query'] = array(        
                                              'datum_clause' => array('meta_key' => 'datum', 'compare' => 'EXISTS')
  																				   );
  		  $wp_query_args['orderby'] = array('datum_clause' => 'DESC', 'date' => 'DESC');
            break;
