Open’er Festival 2026 – 1 July till 4 July 2026, Gdynia – Everybody scream! Florence + The Machine headlines Open'er 2026!

Florence + The Machine headlines Open'er 2026!
One of the most important artists of her generation and a master of live emotional performances will play on Orange Main Stage, July 1. Also joining this year's line-up of the biggest festival in Poland are Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, Bassvictim, Jehnny Beth, Joy (Anonymous), Sadie Jean, Just Mustard, Hyphen Dash, supermodel*, Avi, and Łaszewo.

Open'er Festival powered by Orange 2026 will take place July 1–4 in Gdynia, at the Gdynia–Kosakowo Airport grounds. Artists announced so far include The Cure, Calvin Harris, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The xx, Halsey, Martin Garrix, Teddy Swims, Addison Rae, David Byrne, Zara Larsson, PinkPantheress, Jade, Ethel Cain, IDLES, Clipse, Tomora, Kneecap, Sofi Tukker, LP, Reneé Rapp, Matt Berninger, and Audrey Nuna.

FLORENCE + THE MACHINE
Across five albums - 2009's „Lungs", 2011's „Ceremonials", 2015's „How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful", 2018's „High As Hope" and 2022's „Dance Fever" - Florence Welch, also known as Florence + The Machine, has become one of the most monumental artists of a generation, with multiple US and UK #1 albums and countless awards. Known for her earth-shattering live show and singular, iconic voice, Florence has sold out shows and headlined festivals the entire world over. She has collaborated and shared stages with icons - The Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift among them - and published a book of lyrics, poetry and drawings, Useless Magic. Last year Florence presented her sixth studio album „Everybody Scream". The title track was written and produced by Florence Welch over the past two years, with a close-knit circle of collaborators including Mark Bowen of IDLES, Aaron Dessner and Mitski.  After needing lifesaving surgery on the Dance Fever Tour, Florence's recovery took her down the path of spiritual mysticism, witchcraft and folk horror as she felt the limits of her body and explored what it means to be "healed". The album treads through womanhood, partnership, aging and dying; exposing the murky in the mundane. Experience Florence + The Machine at Orange Main Stage, July 1.

PANDA BEAR & SONIC BOOM
Panda Bear & Sonic Boom met via MySpace 20 years ago after Panda Bear thanked Spacemen 3 in the liner notes of his album „Person Pitch".  In 2016 Sonic Boom left his home in England for Portugal where Panda Bear was already residing. The two have since forged an enduring partnership with Sonic Boom co-producing a spate of Panda Bear releases including 2011's „Tomboy", including performing the album live together, and worked closely on 2015's „Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper". In 2022 Sonic Boom pitched an idea to take their working relationship to the next level,  resulting in the collaboration of „RESET", an album of gloriously, feverishly hook-bound tracks.  The duo continues to make music and perform live together as Panda Bear & Sonic Boom and have a new 7" single „Graveyard / Lucky charm" available on Record Store Day on 4/18. Panda Bear & Sonic Boom are playing at Alter Stage, July 3

JEHNNY BETH
Jehnny Beth first came to prominence as the compelling frontwoman of Savages, the Mercury Prize–nominated post-punk band known for its live performances and stark lyricism. Her acclaimed solo debut "To Love Is To Live"(2020) expanded that vision - bold, cinematic, and emotionally charged. In 2022, she returned to the stage with IDLES, toured with Depeche Mode in Europe, and joined Queens of the Stone Age across the U.S. Reuniting in France with longtime creative partner Johnny Hostile - just off tour with Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - she began shaping "You Heartbreaker, You" - a cathartic, radical album born of urgency, joy, and rebellion. With instinctive lyrics, fierce vocals, and Hostile's uncompromising production, the record channels chaos into sonic liberation. "You Heartbreaker, You" offers a visceral space to scream, breathe, and feel alive in a world teetering on collapse. Don't miss Jehnny Beth on Flow Stage, July 3!

JOY (ANONYMOUS)
Having established themselves by playing impromptu meet-ups on London's South Bank, Henry Counsell and Louis Curran, the men who make up Joy (Anonymous), have quickly graduated to much bigger venues. Their music revels in the euphoria of being alive and all the feelings, good or bad, that come with it. Their second album „Cult Classics" (2023) follows the beat of a night out, from frenetic, sweaty movement to the gentler winding down as the dawn breaks. At times it is euphoric, celebratory and pure, whirling fun, at others it seeks the joy in the darker emotions that life throws our way. Joy (Anonymous) still remain dedicated to the spirit of spontaneity. They shut a street down with a surprise waterside party in New York and on a trip to Copenhagen, they played an impromptu set in a cafe, which turned into a house party and a night-long good time. Collaborating with The Blessed Madonna and going B2B with Fred Again... at Alexandra Palace has given the duo the opportunity to live out childhood dreams and introduced their infectious live shows to new audiences at huge venues. You have to see them at Open'er! Alter Stage, July 1

JUST MUSTARD
Just Mustard is the Ireland-based band of Katie Ball, David Noonan, Mete Kalyoncuoğlu, Rob Clarke, and Shane Maguire. Across their first two albums - 2018's „Wednesday" and „Heart Under" (2022) they "rode a wave of noise to the front of the shoegaze pack, breaking from the distorted yearning of the genre's softer acolytes" (Pitchfork). The band's latest album "WE WERE JUST HERE" was released in October. While Just Mustard's signature elements are still intact on the upcoming release - warped guitars, twisted sound design and cavernous low ends - this time, it's all been channeled into a warmer and more anthemic path. Inspired by club spaces and physical joy, the songs strive for immediacy and feeling. Just Mustard subsequently went on a world tour and were handpicked by Robert Smith to support The Cure, as well as performing with Depeche Mode and Fontaines D.C. Now they're coming to Open'er - Flow Stage, July 3

BASSVICTIM
London based duo comprised of Polish-English vocalist & writer Maria Manow and American-English producer Ike Clateman. They both met in Berlin in 2022 to mutual dislike, until reconvening four months later outside of Peckham Audio in London. Ike came up with the band name at said party due to the bass being "too intense." They released their first single "Canary Wharf Freestyle" in 2023. Their EP-s „Basspunk" and „Basspunk 2" came out respectively in 2024 and 2025. Last year saw the release of their debut album „Forever" and this year they presented their latest EP „?". You gotta check them out on Alter Stage, July 2.

SADIE JEAN
Sadie Jean is an American singer and songwriter who gained international recognition, among other things, thanks to the viral track „WYD Now?". Her work blends intimate pop with minimalist production and honest, emotional lyrics about relationships, growing up, and loneliness. Sadie Jean consistently develops her style, focusing on direct expression and subtle arrangements that highlight her distinctive vocals. This year saw the release of her debut album „Early Twenties Torture". And on July 4 you'll get the chance to see her live at Flow Stage.

HYPHEN DASH
Hyphen Dash is a Ukraine-based quartet founded in 2019, consisting of Myshko Birchenko(drums), Yevhen Puhachov (guitar, bass), Polina Maiboroda (keys, synths) and Dmytro Startsev (keys, synths). The band blends hip-hop, jazz, electronica, and prog-rock to reimagine instrumental music and explore new sonic landscapes. So far, the band has released a live EP from the NAMU Museum, several singles in collaboration with Ukrainian and international artists, a mixtape of demo tracks and Basement 626 album recorded 10 km from the frontline, which was featured in Rolling Stone and LATE album, which they created for 6 years. In January 2026, the band also went on tour, where they presented their latest album across the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and Hungary. See them perform on Flow Stage, July 3.

SUPERMODEL*
supermodel* is the brainchild of frankie beanie, a virginia-born, los angeles-based artist and producer, whose music is the culmination of a world of influences: a love of hip-hop, an obsession with the Beastie Boys, and an instinctive feel for raw, playful experimentation. At its core, supermodel* is about instinct, irreverence, and breaking his own rules. "don't try and be cool. steal everything. don't overthink. always lowercase," he says of the project's ethos. Since his debut, supermodel* has carved out a distinct identity with a run of genre-blurring singles and striking, reference-rich visuals. from the hypnotic, dance-inflected "i used to live in england", to the warped, confident swagger of "no future," where beastie boys-inspired production collides with diy visual craft influenced by jamiroquai's "virtual insanity," each release has revealed a new facet of his vision. Check him out on Flow Stage, July 2

ŁASZEWO
Hailing from California, the trio Łaszewo is one of the fastest-rising names on the electronic pop scene. Matthew Ehrlich, Keeva Bouley, and Justin De La Fuente released their first track together in 2018, and thanks to songs like "Up In Flames" and "Till U Hate Me", as well as their high-energy live performances, their music quickly racked up millions of streams. In 2024, they released their debut album, "In Color". Catch them live at Flow Stage, July 4.

Even voorstellen - ᖴOᑌTᒪOOᔕ - nieuwe single, Speelkleeren

Op vrijdag 3 april verschijnt Speelkleeren, de nieuwe single van ᖴOᑌTᒪOOᔕ
Foutloos - Speelkleeren (Official Video)
Soms mag het al eens simpelweg melancholisch zijn. Speelkleeren is een nummer dat sferisch begint en dan langzaamaan opbouwt tot een dromerig spel van alviool, drum en bas. Het is een instrumentale terugblik op een - schijnbaar - onbezorgde kindertijd en de manier waarop je herinneringen vormt. In Speelkleeren neemt Foutloos de tijd. Geen wilde golven dit keer, maar zacht kabbelen.

In de video zie je Esther, Renaud en Jonas in speelkleren, twee decennia geleden. Het is een compilatie van oude VHS-cassettes, zo gemonteerd dat de herinneringen vervagen, vermengen en vervormen. Net als het nummer verkent de videoclip hoe het geheugen van je jeugd een eigen constructie maakt.

ᖴOᑌTᒪOOᔕ is een instrumentaal trio dat bestaat uit Esther Coorevits (Tourist LeMC, Nemø ensemble), Jonas Bruyneel (momoyo, Philemon, Vincent Coomans) en Renaud Debruyne (Mirek Coutigny, Mergel). In Foutloos gaan sferische improvisaties op altviool samen met funky baslijnen en snedige hiphopgrooves. Foutloos speelde shows in België, Nederland en het Verenigd Koninkrijk en is in 2026 artist in residence in De Grote Post.

Muziek: Esther Coorevits, Renaud Debruyne, Jonas Bruyneel
Productie: Jonas Bruyneel in North Garden Studios en Studio Wellington
Mix: Mirek Coutigny in Atlas Studios
Mastering: Laurens Grossen in MotorMusic
Video: Jonas Bruyneel in Studio Wellington
Label: Wellington Records
Releasedatum: 03/04/2026

GRÉGOIRE GERSTMANS SHARES NEW SINGLE "CEUX QUI RESTENT"
Grégoire Gerstmans - Ceux qui restent

08/10 – MUSÉE DE LA PHOTO, CHARLEROI (ALBUM RELEASE SHOW)

Belgian pianist and composer Grégoire Gerstmans has, for several years now, been developing an intimate and minimalist musical language centered around piano and silence. Following his debut album Hypnagogie (2024), he today releases Ceux qui restent — the first single from his second album Éternité, set for release on October 9, 2026 — as he'll be performing three times (!) at BRDCST on April 3, 4, and 5, 2026.

While on Hypnagogie, Grégoire Gerstmans paid tribute to the state between wakefulness and sleep — that fragile moment where reality and dreams intertwine — he explores time and presence on Éternité. Composed of eight minimalist pieces, the album invites listeners to slow down, inhabit each moment, and listen to silence. The first highlighted track, Ceux qui restent, pays tribute to those who remain when someone disappears — a gesture of care and presence.

The order of the tracks follows an almost symbolic temporality on this new album. This fifth piece represents a central moment in the record:
"Ceux qui restent is a tribute to a very dear friend who recently passed away. My wife and I were invited to his bedside — a moment suspended in time. We shared his most precious memories, and he took the time to offer us a rare gift: the strength of the present moment. Every small detail of life he left us — a vegetable in the sunlight, a passing fly, a scent, a country, a drop of rain — becomes a treasure. These simple moments, what remains of him, I dedicate to all those who continue their journey after the loss of a loved one.
The piece reminds us that every moment of life is a precious gift. I played it on my small piano at home, with a sound I chose and love. Through it, I share what I received: that fragile and infinite intensity that life offers us.
To you, my friend, and to you, the love of my life, I dedicate these notes and silences, these suspended moments. May Ceux qui restent be a bridge between memory and present, a breath of emotion that travels through time. May those who remain find in this piece tenderness, strength, and the beauty of small moments. It is not just a melody, but a gift from the heart, received and passed on. It is the echo of what we have lived together and what continues to live within us. Every moment, every breath, every detail carries the trace of those we love. And in this way, despite absence, those who remain carry forever what has been given."

Recorded once again in his studio, the album continues Grégoire Gerstmans' artistic approach: a refined, stripped-down music in which every note matters and where silence becomes an essential element of the musical language.
"Time that passes, time that flows through us, time we believe we possess but which constantly escapes us. I like to think that time itself is eternal. The share we give to it is simply human. Today, time has become something dark. We measure it, we consume it, we buy it. We get paid for time. It has become our primary currency. And yet, we no longer have any. We no longer have time for ourselves, for our loved ones, for our families. No more time to look up at the sky. No more time to breathe. No more time to simply be. To be here, now. In the present. Because perhaps eternity lies precisely there: in that moment. Time is eternity. Let us take it."

Between Hypnagogie and Éternité, his work continues the same quest: to explore those suspended moments of existence when time seems to slow down — when we fall asleep, or when we finally take the time to be present.

Even voorstellen - Sdban Records reissues cult classic Le Monde Fabuleux des Yamasuki
Release: April 3, 2026

In the spring of 1971, somewhere between Brussels, Paris and a collective pop fever dream, Le Monde Fabuleux des Yamasuki landed on vinyl. It sounded like nothing else then and it still does not today. More than half a century later, Sdban Records proudly presents a reissue of this singular cult album on vinyl.

The album was produced by Jean Kluger and written both by Jean and Daniel Vangarde (aka Bangalter, later the father of Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk), who were already well ahead of their time, long before electronic music rewrote the rules of pop culture.

Released under the name Yamasuki, also referred to as The Yamasuki Singers, or The Yamasuki's, the project was never intended as a conventional band. It was a studio-born fantasy, a concept album disguised as a pop record. What began as a standalone single quickly expanded into a full-blown pan-cultural pop opera that ignored genres and common sense with joyful abandon.

Musically, the album sits at a delirious crossroads. Psychedelic pop collides with funk rhythms, samba and bubblegum melodies, full of chants and choruses in a phonetic pseudo Japanese, written with the help of a dictionary. Kluger and Vangarde famously recruited a children's choir to perform the vocals, and for added spectacle, they brought in a Japanese judo grandmaster, whose ritualistic shouts and battle cries erupt throughout the record.

Several singles were released. One of them, Yamasuki, with accompanying dance move, appeared in the United Kingdom and France on John Peel's Dandelion label, a fitting home for a record that thrived on the margins of pop culture. Its B-side, Aieaoa, proved even more potent. In 1975, the song was reborn as A.I.E. (A Mwana) by Black Blood, an African group recording in Belgium, this time sung in Swahili. That melody would travel even further.

Aie a Mwana became the debut single of English pop group Bananarama, and in 2010 it resurfaced once more as Helele, an official song of the FIFA World Cup, recorded by South African singer Velile Mchunu with Danish percussion duo Safri Duo. That version became the most widely known incarnation of the song. With Jean Kluger directly involved, it was less a cover than a continuation of the original idea.

The album's afterlife did not stop there. Over the years, Yamasuki has been quietly sampled, covered, and featured across media far beyond the realm of novelty pop. Kono Samourai was sampled in The Healer by Erykah Badu (2007), produced by Madlib, while Yama Yama has found its way into recent pop culture as well: appearing in the television series Fargo, on Angus Stone's project Dope Lemon, and on the 2008 Late Night Tales compilation curated by Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders. Proof, if any were needed, that this strange little record carries a deeper musical DNA than its playful exterior might suggest.

This new reissue of Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki proves the renewed interest and respect for this cult album, faithful to the original spirit while finally giving it back the physical presence it deserves. In an era obsessed with genres and algorithmic neatness, Yamasuki still laughs, dances and karate-kicks its way past definitions.

It reminds us that pop music can be playful without being disposable, strange without being cynical and joyful without explanation. The world of Yamasuki was always fabulous, we are just lucky it found its way back to us.

The reissue of Le Monde Fabuleux des Yamasuki is out today via Sdban Records, with 100 copies on Bandcamp exclusive Magenta-coloured vinyl.

LORDS OF ACID & PRINCESS SUPERSTAR | Karaoke Superstar
LORDS OF ACID & PRINCESS SUPERSTAR KARAOKE SUPERSTAR
new single
out 3rd April 2026 (Metropolis Records)

The pioneering electronic dance act Lords Of Acid are back with their first new music in 8 years. 'Karaoke Superstar' sees them in full theatrical mode with what is a hyper-sexual, tongue-in-cheek, neon-drenched industrial, metal, acid dance anthem inspired by Japanese game show chaos, underground fetish culture and the absurdity of pop stardom.

Featuring a guest vocal by hit-making US vocalist and DJ Princess Superstar, the track fuses aggressive EBM-style sequencing with playful call-and-response hooks, mixing dark club energy with ironic theatrical excess. Part satire, part dancefloor weapon, it is intentionally over-the-top via a unique collision of cultures (European industrial roots, Japanese pop references, metal drums and guitars) and production aesthetics that are all wrapped up with the group's unmistakable provocative edge.

PRINCESS SUPERSTAR
'Karaoke Superstar' is the first in a series of singles to be released ahead of a long-awaited seventh Lords Of Acid album in late 2026. Further notable guest vocalists will appear, although the majority of songs feature the powerhouse voice of the reigning 'Acid Queen', Carla Harvey. Also renowned for her commanding stage presence, the distinctive US singer joined the group in early 2025. She was previously in the metal band Butcher Babies.

LORDS OF ACID biography
Formed in Antwerp, Belgium in 1988, Lords Of Acid are recognised as one of the most influential acts to emerge from the hard-edged electronic dance music scene of that era. Adopting and adapting underground club culture aesthetics fom the off, they blended techno, acid house and industrial music with provocative lyrics on themes of sexuality, drug use and hedonism. Debuting with the classic New Beat single 'I Sit On Acid', their debut album 'Lust' appeared in 1991 and was followed periodically by further releases that saw the group become a staple of the Billboard dance and alternative charts. Having built a substantial global following while maintaining a multi-decade touring career, Lords Of Acid remain one of their genre's most recognisable and enduring names.

Live Nation concert - Yong Yello – extra concert

Op zondag 13 september in OLT Rivierenhof, Antwerpen > Extra show!

Yellooo, Yellooo! Yong Yello zit momenteel midden in zijn succesvolle 'Den Bennie Tour' en denkt nog lang niet aan stoppen. De rapper en producer kondigde begin deze week een nieuwe show aan op zaterdag 12 september in de idyllische setting van OLT Rivierenhof in Antwerpen. Deze show was in een vingerknip uitverkocht, maar niet getreurd, want Yong Yello kondigt een extra show aan op zondag 13 september.
Tickets zijn meteen beschikbaar via livenation.be en oltrivierenhof.be.

£Yello Staelens, beter bekend als Yong Yello, was in een vorig leven lid van het legendarische hiphopcollectief 'Eigen Makelij', waarin hij samenwerkte met onder anderen Tourist LeMC. Later groeide hij uit tot de vaste producer van Glints en ondertussen kennen we hem ook als de nieuwe kroonprins van het Antwerpse lied.

Uit zijn debuutalbum 'Marcel & Het Magnetisme Van De Goot' (2021) kwamen meteen enkele grote hits voort. Zo lieten onder meer "Cirkels", "Luchtkasteel" en "Waanzin" een stevige indruk na op het Vlaamse publiek. Ook zijn nieuwste album 'Bennie & De Banaliteit Van Ons Bestaan' (2025) was een instant succes. Hits als "Ik moet dringend op vakantie" en "Waarom ben ik zo destructief?" zijn niet meer weg te denken van de radio.

Festival Dranouter 2026, van 7 augustus t-m 9 augustus 2026 – nieuwe rits namen maken affiche bijna volledig

MET O.A.  BLACKWAVE., MENTISSA, TP LE GREEN EN SPACE QUARTET IS PROGRAMMA HOOFDPODIA FESTIVAL DRANOUTER BIJNA HELEMAAL VOLLEDIG

Festival Dranouter maakt een voorlaatste reeks nieuwe namen bekend voor de komende editie. Naast ZAZ, Pommelien Thijs, Sylvie Kreusch of The Kooks staan nu ook blackwave., Mentissa, TP Le Green, Omar Dahl, Farfar, GRAYSSOKER, Space Quartet, Frans Kalf, Ethno Flanders en Jan De Smet & het Powertrio op de affiche. Daarmee is het programma van de hoofdpodia bijna volledig. Festival Dranouter blijft dé plek voor roots en ontdekking: je ontdekt binnenkort meer over een nieuw folk- en rootspodium. De komende weken volgt de DJ-programmatie, de food & drinks line-up, straattheater, kinderanimatie... Met deze aantrekkelijke affiche belooft Festival Dranouter 2026 opnieuw een veelzijdige editie te worden die muziekliefhebbers uit alle hoeken weet te verrassen.
Tickets & info: www.festivaldranouter.be

Het Belgische duo blackwave. brengt een internationaal klinkende mix van jazzy hiphop, soul en summer vibes. Het duo jaagt elke festivalweide in beweging met hun instant meezingers. Hits als 'Elusive’, 'Big Dreams' en 'Good Enough' halen miljoenen streams. Hun live reputatie groeit jaar na jaar: een eerste keer blackwave. op Festival Dranouter is dus helemaal a-okay!

Mentissa stond in de schijnwerpers als winnares van The Voice Kids (2014) en als één van de topkandidaten van Eurosong (2025). Haar sterke popsong 'Desolée' combineerde catchy eighties-elementen, een onweerstaanbaar refrein en zette vooral haar sterke soulvolle stem in de kijker. Haar deelname aan The Voice of France zorgde voor een sneeuwbaleeffect: een platencontract, top noteringen bij alle streamingdiensten en een mega populariteit in Frankrijk. Na haar hits 'Mamma Mia' en 'La vie qu'on mène' en haar passage bij Live Live Live (VRT1) is België ook in de ban van deze jonge belofte. Voor fans van Lous & The Yakuza en Angèle.

Klaar voor iets radicaal nieuws? GRAYSSOKER trekt de accordeon los uit zijn stereotype rol en brengt het instrument tot een niet-normaal niveau. Met pompende beats en pure spanning bouwt hij zijn show laag per laag op. Geen brave fusion, maar een dansbare rave dat heel het publiek meesleurt tot de laatste noot. Stampen!

Warme, dromerige grooves die voelen als eeuwig durende golden hour. Oosterse melodieën blenden met elektronische sounds, da's iets waar Omar Dahl expert in is! Synths, blazers en snaarinstrumenten glijden in elkaar tot een dansbare, bijna filmische sfeer. Het soort set waarin je wegzakt, maar waarin je liefst permanent zou blijven vertoeven.

Vier muzikanten die elkaar vinden in het moment: dat is SPACE Quartet. Rond Nicolas Mortelmans, Roland Van Campenhout, Stef Kamil Carlens en Tim Vanhamel ontstaat een universum waar psychedelica, ambient, funk en jazz elkaar kruisen. Live voelt het alsof je een improvisatiestroom binnenstapt. Geen vaste structuur, alleen muziek die zoekt, botst, openbarst of fluistert. Een trip die je zeker niet wil missen.

Het gaat hard voor TP Le Green. Willy tipte hem in maart getipt als Belofte en zijn debuutsingle Amen in Live Live Live (VRT1) maakte meteen indruk. Achter TP Le Green zit Tim Beernaert, die na het verlies van zijn zoontje Rinus zijn grote steun in muziek vond. Uit dat hartverscheurende verdriet ontspringt een stroom van muziek. Voor zijn debuutalbum trok hij met topmuzikanten naar de iconische La Frette studio in Parijs. Samen met Sarah Green (ex-lid Portland) maakte hij Amen, een anthem over onverwoestbare hoop, een lichtpuntje midden in de donkerste nacht.

De half-Vlaamse Ramses Shaffy is geboren: Frans Kalf. Met scherpe zinnen, een half ironische glimlachje in zijn stem en indiefolky melodieën wordt je meegenomen naar een cynisch vrolijke wereld. Zijn debuutsingle Terwijl Je Voor Me Stond zette hem in één klap op de kaart. Live heeft hij die ontwapenende presence die je stil krijgt én doet glimlachen. Een jonge stem met lef, charme en een eigen hoek.

Door Farfar schiet het kwik de hoogte in. In hun warme, mediterraanse wereld komen jazzy melodieën, opmerkelijke bouzouki, zware synthakkoorden en stevig saxwerk samen. Live voelt de band alsof je door een zonovergoten landschap wandelt. Licht en onweerstaanbaar groovy!

Ethno Flanders is elk jaar een compleet nieuw verhaal: zo’n zestig jonge muzikanten uit alle hoeken van de wereld die in één intense week samen een unieke live set bouwen. Wat je op Dranouter ziet, is het resultaat van jammen, dansen, ontdekken en vriendschappen smeden. Een explosie van energie, diversiteit en pure goesting. Jong, wild en super aanstekelijk.

Zaterdagochtend op Festival Dranouter begint met het Powertrio.

Pias news – Kneecap – releases title track ‘fenian’
KNEECAP RELEASES TITLE-TRACK "FENIAN"
KNEECAP - FENIAN (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
NEW ALBUM "FENIAN" OUT ON MAY 1 VIA HEAVENLY RECORDINGS
04.07.2026 — ROCK WERCHTER, BE

Belfast trio KNEECAP have today shared the video for their latest single, FENIAN, the title-track from their forthcoming new album, to be released on May 1 via Heavenly Recordings.

The anthemic track already feels like it's been here for an entire era – a raucous party tune that will no doubt birth some of the biggest festival singalong chants of the summer, this is a brilliant, invigorating, unapologetic declaration of identity and community. Tiochfaidh ár lá - somebody sample that.

Talking about the track, KNEECAP said: "An Anthem to embrace our Fenian past, and to cure our colonial hangover by reconnecting the warriors of Irish folklore with the Fenian c*nts from the North of Ireland.

The track is accompanied by a brilliantly surreal video shot in and around West Belfast which sees DJ Provai's now ubiquitous tricolour balaclava very much front and centre.. The video was directed by Thomas James, who added: "For me, this track is about a reclaiming of identity. Not only of the word, but for people too.  Which is what our film is. A trippy whirlwind through people and places who embody the spirit of the boys and the song. Of seeing the word Fenian through a new lens. It was a blast. It was chaos. It was a fever dream of running around Ireland convincing people to pop a bally on and do something mental.  Good times had by all.

Produced by Dan Carey, the new album also features previous singles Smugglers & Scholars, recently featured as part of the regular COLORSxSTUDIOS shows, and Liars Tale.

Additionally, having completed a SOLD-OUT U.K. and Irish tour at the end of last year, they head out on a run of out-store shows for the week of album release and a number of EU festival appearances and recently announced EU headline shows over the summer.

The last 12-months saw the Belfast trio perform one of the the most talked about Glastonbury sets in recent years on West Holts stage, play headline slots at Wide Awake, 2000 Trees & Green Man festivals, make the jump to arena level headliners with shows at  the 3Arena in Dublin, Wembley Arena and OVO Hydro in Glasgow, find themselves in the middle of a media and political maelstrom for vocally advocating for peace and Palestinian freedom at last year's Coachella and release three stunning stand-alone singles, THE RECAP ft. Mozey, Sayōnara a collaboration with Paul Hartnoll of Orbital and No Comment, featuring DJ / producer Sub Focus.

More darkness. More confrontation. More craic. More energy. More solidarity. More absolute bangers. And more fuel for the unrelenting engine that powers this unstoppable force. For their remarkable second album, Kneecap have come out fighting. With their second album FENIAN, KNEECAP sharpen their sound and expand their vision, delivering a record that is darker, more confrontational, and more assured.

Throughout FENIAN, Kneecap balance confrontation with craft, pairing biting intelligence with undeniable energy. The result is an album that thrills as much as it provokes, marking a clear new peak in the group's evolution.

Following two sold-out nights at Dublin's 3Arena and a tour of Japan, 2026 will see KNEECAP headline their biggest shows to date, including Crystal Palace Park in London and major festival slots. FENIAN confirms KNEECAP not just as provocateurs, but as artists operating at the height of their powers.
