Even voorstellen - Folk singer-songwriter Camille Camille releases new single - J’ai rêvé

Now we release the second single from Camille Camille’s new album. “J’ai rêvé” is the first song Camille releases in her mother tongue, French.
J'ai rêvé - Camille Camille | Spotify
Like any good sailor’s ballad, this song captures the longing for a distant lover and the hope that love can prevail across time and space. Soon joined by marching-band drums and gleaming flutes, the song swiftly unfolds into a jubilant carnival of sound - a radiant celebration of love, hope and dreams.
We’re also excited to reveal that Camille Camille’s sophomore album, “Enchanted Sea”, is set for release on May 29 (which is also Camille’s birthday)!

For the video, Camille Camille collaborated with Madrid-based photographer and visual artist Elisa Soto. After years of being inspired by each other’s work, the pair finally met to bring their art together.
“Working with Elisa had been a dream of mine for a long time. Letting her bring her visual poetry to J’ai Rêvé felt like a natural and obvious choice. Her dreamlike work and strong sensibility for colour have a rare authenticity, and I feel so blessed to share this collaboration with the world.”

Some words from Camille
“To be honest, I had to dive into my voice memos to find the first drafts of J’ai rêvé and remember when and where it came to be. I quickly found an early recording under that name, dated February 17th, 2021, and then went on to look for a photo from that same day. It was a picture of the lyrics coming out of my yellow typewriter in my bedroom at the time, in Leipzig.
I was navigating a long-distance relationship during the COVID years. Life - and pretty much everything - felt so uncertain. The only thing I could hold on to was hope and trust that life would do its thing and bring us together again somewhere, someday.

After performing the song with just my guitar for a few years, I recorded the first demo at home in Ghent in 2024, where the song took a new turn. I started hearing marching band–like drums and flutes, as if they were played by angels descending straight from heaven, telling me that everything would be okay. With the help of my acolyte Felix Baele (bass/charango), my friend Orlan Ghekiere (drums), and the flute kid inside me, J’ai rêvé - originally a sad sailor’s ballad - simultaneously became a joyful hymn to love and hope.”

    Camille Camille is the musical project of Belgian singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist Camille Willemart. Known for her intimate songwriting and delicate, atmospheric sound, Camille Camille creates music that lives in the space between vulnerability and quiet strength. Influenced by the folk tradition, her work feels deeply personal, often exploring themes of observation, connection, inner reflection and the natural world. Drawing comparisons to artists such as Josephine Foster and Robbie Basho, her songs are built around gentle guitar picking arrangements, subtle melodies, and a distinctive, enchanting voice.

    She released her debut album Could You Lend Me Your Eyes in 2021, establishing her as a promising voice in the Belgian music scene. The album was praised for its understated beauty and contemplative tone, as well as for Camille’s ability to weave together hope and melancholy. Following the album’s release, she joined King Hannah, Widowspeak, and Kurt Vile on tour across Europe and the UK, bringing her intimate music to international audiences.
    She later collaborated with long-time friend Sam De Nef on the EP, Waving, released in 2023.
    Through her live performances and recordings, she fosters an aura of closeness and sincerity, guiding listeners into a quiet world where emotions resonate. Her work is anchored in restraint, warmth, and authenticity.

    First single “In a Song”
    Camille Camille - In a Song (Official Video)
    With “In a Song”, Camille Camille delivered her most dynamic track yet. Ambitious guitar picking and medievalesque vocals are joined by intricate harmonies and triumphant flutes. The song, evoking psychedelic folk tones, is served on a gritty percussive loop, transporting us through a dusty landscape of intimacy and uncertainty.
    This first single of her second album opened a wider musical realm, drawing comparisons to Jessica Pratt, Josephine Foster and Robbie Basho.

Uw Vlees en Bloed: een passie vol volk - Jeroen Olyslaegers, Jef Neve, An Pierlé, B.O.X & Reflection op 18 juni 2026 op STROOM & 21 juni 2026 in Antwerpen

Drie eeuwen na Bach staan dezelfde vragen centraal. Wie draagt de last van de wereld? Wie wordt er geofferd, en door wie? Met Uw Vlees en Bloed: een passie vol volk presenteren vocaal ensemble Reflection en B.O.X een humane, geëngageerde versie van het passieverhaal rond thema’s als klimaatangst, sociale media en vervreemding tussen generaties. Componist Jef Neve en schrijver Jeroen Olyslaegers hertalen een klassiek genre naar een ongemakkelijk, maar hoopgevend actueel verhaal waar het lam als een puberend kind centraal staat. De evangelist, hier in de gedaante van een oververmoeide moeder, wordt vertolkt door An Pierlé. De creatie gaat in première op 18 juni tijdens STROOM 2026, en trekt daarna op 21 juni naar Antwerpen voor een voorstelling in samenwerking met Humanistisch Verbond en huisvandeMens Antwerpen.

Release: 1 april 2026

HONEY presents: 'Saus' (Short Film)
HONEY - Mexico 86 (Live Session)

HONEY is een instrumentaal trio dat ontstond vanuit de jarenlange vriendschap en de onderlinge connectie als ritmesectie. Eclectische grooves, lyriek en lekker eten vormen de voedingsbodem voor hun eigen muzikale taal - met echo’s van Al Green, D’Angelo en Ahmad Jamal.
In 2023 bracht HONEY een eerste EP uit, ‘Propolis For the People’, met gastmuzikanten Jake Sherman (organist bij Meshell Ndegeocello, Bilal, Andrew Bird e.a.) en Wout Gooris.

Recent verschenen de singles 'Felicia' en 'Mexico 86', twee voorbodes van de net verschenen nieuwe EP 'Saus'.

"'Mexico 86' is een knipoog naar nostalgische glorie, zowel in muziek als voetbal. Mysterieuze lyriek die evolueert naar een slepende groove die zowel Marokko als Mexico doet weerklinken", aldus HONEY. "‘Felicia’ is dan weer onze versie van afrobeat, met een herhalende riff die ons later naar een psychedelische dub-wereld voert. Sep François speelt percussie en Jozef Dumoulin voegt zijn kenmerkende Fender Rhodes sound toe aan de track."

HONEY kiest er bewust voor hun muziek niet op Spotify te plaatsen. Lees hier het volledige statement van de band.

Live Is Live 2026 – eind juni 2026, drie dagen lang muzikaal feest, Middenvijver Park, Antwerpen

IRON MAIDEN – maandag 29 juni 2026 -
Op maandag 29 juni 2026 komt Iron Maiden naar het Middenvijver Park in Antwerpen. De Britse metallegendes brengen een show die sterk inzet op hun eerste negen studioalbums, van Iron Maiden tot Fear of the Dark. Tijdens een set van meer dan twee uur passeren verschillende klassiekers uit het vroege repertoire van de band, muziek die Iron Maiden uitbouwde tot een van de grootste namen in de metalgeschiedenis. En uiteraard is ook mascotte Eddie weer van de partij.
Naast Iron Maiden staan nog vier bands op het programma. Epica speelt in Antwerpen haar enige Belgische show van 2026 en brengt een symfonische metalset met muziek uit het recente album Aspiral en eerder werk. De Amerikaanse thrashband Testament komt langs met onder meer nummers uit Titans of Creation. Doro viert in 2026 haar 40-jarige carrière met een selectie uit haar solowerk en klassiekers uit haar periode met Warlock. Het Belgische Fleddy Melculy opent de avond en viert tien jaar sinds het debuutalbum Helgië, dat opnieuw verschijnt als Helgië Redux.

NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS – zondag 28 juni 2026 - Op zondag 28 juni 2026 staat Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds als headliner op het podium van Live is Live in het Middenvijver Park in Antwerpen. De band brengt een uitgebreide set die vier decennia aan muziek omspant, met klassiekers uit hun rijke catalogus en werk uit het recente album Wild God (2024). Met hun intense liveshows en sterke podiumreputatie blijft Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds een van de meest indrukwekkende acts binnen de alternatieve muziek.
Naast de headliner staan nog vijf artiesten op het programma. Lykke Li brengt haar dromerige pop en melancholische melodieën naar Antwerpen, met muziek uit haar eerdere werk en haar nieuwe album The Afterparty, dat in mei 2026 verschijnt. Johnny Marr, medeoprichter en gitarist van The Smiths, brengt een set met solomateriaal en nummers die zijn invloedrijke gitaarwerk onderstrepen. Benjamin Clementine staat bekend om zijn intense live-optredens en poëtische songs, terwijl Anna von Hausswolff haar donkere, gelaagde sound meebrengt, opgebouwd rond orgelklanken en experimentele composities. Het Belgische Das Pop vervolledigt de affiche met hun herkenbare mix van pop en rock.

ROBBIE WILLIAMS – zaterdag 27 juni 2026 - Op zaterdag 27 juni verandert Middenvijver Park in hét muziekpodium van het jaar. Robbie Williams brengt zijn grootste hits en nieuwste nummers, terwijl Sugababes, Suzan & Freek, Ozark Henry, Davina Michelle en Bart Peeters & De Ideale Mannen de sfeer naar een hoogtepunt brengen en van deze dag een onvergetelijk feest maken.

V2 records news – Placebo announces new album,‘Placebo re:created’

Announces New Album/Single "Placebo Re:created"
ALBUM OUT 19 JUNE
SINGLE "BRUISE PRISTINE (RE:CREATED VERSION" IS OUT
1 November live @ AFAS DOME
Bruise Pristine (RE:CREATED VERSION)
Celebrating three decades since the release of their groundbreaking debut album, legendary alternative rock band Placebo announce Placebo RE:CREATED, a powerful new reworking of the record that first introduced them to the world in 1996. The album will be released on 19 June 2026 via Elevator Lady Ltd through AWAL.

Originally arriving at the height of the Britpop era, Placebo stood in stark contrast to the prevailing cultural mood. While much of British guitar music at the time leaned into laddish nostalgia and national identity, Placebo's debut delivered something altogether more provocative and confrontational. Its songs addressed sexuality, androgyny, addiction and alienation with an honesty rarely heard in mainstream rock at the time, establishing the band as one of the most distinctive voices of their generation.

Thirty years on, Placebo RE:CREATED sees the band return to this pivotal album with a fresh perspective. The new record features reworked and embellished versions of all ten tracks from the original album plus two bonus tracks from the original release, capturing the way these songs have evolved across decades of performance while retaining the raw spirit that defined them. Among the tracks are the era-defining singles "Nancy Boy" and "36 Degrees", songs that helped establish Placebo's reputation for fearless lyricism and genre-defying sound. These new recordings amplify the urgency and attitude that made the originals resonate so strongly, while reflecting the band's growth and experience in the years since their debut.

Speaking about the new record, Placebo explain:
"We think of this record as a director's cut. We haven't recreated it from scratch. We went back to the original master tapes and brought 30 years of playing these songs live back into the record.

This project was about finally finishing the record, dragging it into the 21st century sonically, while preserving the integrity and the spirit of the original. It's not about improving it, there's nothing wrong with it, it's about completing it.

When we made the first album, we didn't yet have the experience or the studio knowledge to fully translate what was in our heads. Over the years, the songs took on a life of their own on stage; they grew, they developed, they kind of completed themselves.

It's a celebration of where we began, and a meeting point between who we were then and who we are now. A way of honoring that innocence, while letting the songs exist with the scale, confidence, and energy of the band we've become."

When Placebo first appeared in 1996, the band's aesthetic and lyrical perspective challenged expectations within British rock culture. Their visual identity - deliberately ambiguous, glamorous and confrontational - pushed against traditional ideas of gender and masculinity at a time when such conversations rarely entered mainstream discourse. In doing so, Placebo carved out a space for a different kind of alternative voice, one that resonated deeply with audiences who felt outside the cultural mainstream and is still referenced to this day by many of their contemporaries.

Now, discussions around identity, gender expression and individuality are more visible - and often more contested - than ever. Against this backdrop, the origins of Placebo's debut feel strikingly relevant again. Placebo RE:CREATED not only celebrates the legacy of the original album, but also highlights its enduring cultural significance, reaffirming how forward-thinking the record was upon its release.

The album was recreated by Brian Molko and Rob Kirwan from the original master tapes and mixed by Adam Noble. The result is a collection that preserves the immediacy and defiance of the original while pushing the sound into new territory - reflecting both the band's long history with these songs and their continued creative evolution.

Later this year Placebo will embark on an extensive UK and European arena tour to celebrate this momentous anniversary. The band will be performing songs from their first two albums, Placebo and Without You I'm Nothing - some of which have not been performed live for over 20 years! The tour kicks off in Portugal before heading across Europe and ending in the UK, seeing them perform to hundreds of thousands of fans across 36 dates. Later this month Placebo will , at the invitation of The Cure's Robert Smith, take to the stage alongside their good friends 'Garbage' for the Teenage Cancer Trust concert series at the legendary Royal Albert Hall. The annual series has long been one of the UK's most respected charity music events, bringing together major artists to raise funds for young people facing cancer.

LAMBRINI GIRLS SHARE NEW SINGLE “CULT OF CELEBRITY”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DAuSNXBgoM&list=PLLCTjE55htoHg_-hkn0tKfuAXHqeVh8rn&index=2

LIVE 21/8 - Hasselt, BE @ Pukkelpop

Lambrini Girls by Jessie Morgan
‘The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters’
Antonio Gramsci (courtesy of Lambrini Girls)
“Cult of Celebrity”

Brighton’s own Lambrini Girls, the explosive duo of Phoebe Lunny (vocals/guitar) and Selin Macieira (bass), share their new single “Cult of Celebrity.” From its opening guitar lick, the duo’s new song is a relentless, thrashing indictment of the dark underbelly and backdoor dealings of the world’s global elites that has been exposed in recent years. Speaking about their new single, the Lambrini Girls had this to say:
“The age old tale, of selling your soul to the devil has been fabled accounts of high society for years. However due to recent events come to light- it turns out that the elite are very much actually, the devil incarnate, baby eating, pedos. What a fucking surprise! They had no souls to sell in the first place.”
From the desk of Lambrini Girls

The single is also accompanied by a music video directed by London-based filmmaker and director Harv Frost (The Last Dinner Party, Laufey).

Renowned as one of the best live bands to come out of the UK in recent memory, Lambrini Girls will be taking their spectacular live show on the road throughout the US and Europe this year. Beginning with a series of headline North American live dates including a show at Brooklyn’s Warsaw, the band will play festivals across the Northern Hemisphere this Summer including Bonnaroo, a Warped Tour stop in DC, Barcelona’s Primavera Sound, Gothenburg’s Way Out West and more.

Lambrini Girls breached the door to global rock consciousness with the raw charisma, barbed humor and combustible shredding of their debut album Who Let The Dogs Out in 2025. Released as an opening musical statement for the year in January last year, the album permeated throughout the rock world, with the band gracing the covers of NOTION, Kerrang!, Paste, and New Noise, with support from the likes of Variety and Pitchfork, who noted the album “rails against misogyny, homophobia… with righteous fury.” They’ve heaped praise and admiration from the likes of Bikini Kill’s Kathleen Hanna, Iggy Pop and Sleater Kinney, and shared stages with IDLES, Amyl & The Sniffers & more.

Detest the “Cult of Celebrity” and check out the single & video above, plus, catch one of the Lambrini Girls live shows at your own risk.

Friendly Fire presenteert Radiohead-gitarist Ed O'Brien voor concert naar Carré

Friendly Fire presenteert Radiohead-gitarist Ed O'Brien voor concert naar Carré
Engelse gitarist met nieuw album voor eerste keer in Nederland als soloartiest

Radiohead-gitarist Ed O'Brien komt naar Koninklijk Theater Carré voor een concert op 4 oktober 2026. Het optreden is het eerste concert van de zeven optredens tellende An Evening With… Blue Morpho tournee en staat in het kader van zijn nieuwe album Blue Morpho, dat op 22 mei verschijnt. Het is de eerste keer dat de invloedrijke gitarist als soloartiest optreedt in Nederland.
Koninklijk Theater Carré
Voor de tournee An Evening With… Blue Morpho, met tussenstops in Duitsland, Frankrijk, Italië, het Verenigd Koninkrijk, en Nederland, daagt O’Brien zichzelf uit. In plaats van de plaat simpelweg na te spelen, is de liveshow opgevat als een vloeiende en meeslepende ervaring – een ode aan de muziek waarin elk optreden zich verder ontwikkelt en een eigen leven gaat leiden. Met een band bestaande uit leden die ook op het album te horen zijn, waaronder musical director Dave Okumu, is daardoor elk optreden uniek en een belevenis die op zichzelf staat.
Radiohead
Als gitarist van Radiohead groeide de Engelse Ed O’Brien (1968) uit tot een wereldster die overal ter wereld voor uitverkochte stadions en arena’s optreedt. Omdat in die band zanger/gitarist Thom Yorke en gitarist Jonny Greenwood het gros van de liedjes schrijven, bewaarde O’Brien zijn zelfgeschreven liedjes voor zichzelf. Tot in 2020. Toen debuteerde hij onder de naam EOB, zijn initialen, met het album Earth. Geïnspireerd door de tijd dat hij met zijn gezin in Brazilië woonde maakte hij zijn solodebuut, bijgestaan door een scala aan gastartiesten. Onder andere bandmaatje uit Radiohead Colin Greenwood, maar ook Portisheadgitarist Adrian Utley en Wilcodrummer Glenn Kotche zijn op het goed ontvangen album te horen. O’Brien schreef niet alleen de liedjes op het album, hij speelt ook gitaar en zingt.
Blue Morpho
Ondanks goede recensies trad O’Brien slechts een handvol keren op als EOB. Door de coronapandemie werd zijn Noord-Amerikaanse tournee geannuleerd. De Engelsman maakt daardoor op 4 oktober 2026 zijn solodebuut op Nederlandse grond in Koninklijk Theater Carré. Dit optreden staat in het teken van Blue Morpho, zijn nieuwe soloalbum, dat op 22 mei uitkomt. De zeven liedjes verschijnen niet onder de naam EOB, maar onder zijn eigen naam. Gastartiesten zijn onder andere Radioheaddrummer Philip Selway, bassist Dave Okumu van The Invisible en het Tallinn Chamber Orchestra en werd geproduceerd door befaamd producer Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence + The Machine, Rihanna).
Wim Hof
Door de coronapandemie moest O’Brien noodgedwongen stoppen met werken en belandde hij in een depressie. De oplossing kwam door urenlang in zijn eentje zonder doel muziek te maken. Dat werd de basis van Blue Morpho. Geïnspireerd door de landelijke omgeving van zijn woonplaats in Wales, de uitspraak ‘to know the dark, go dark’ van dichter Wendell Berry en de lessen van iceman Wim Hof schreef hij de zeven liedjes op het album. Het schrijven van nieuwe, eigen muziek hielp hem uit de depressie. Het resultaat is Blue Morpho, waarbij O’Brien zijn muzikale pallet verbreedt. Zo zijn er invloeden uit triphop te horen, maar ook liedjes die meer als folk klinken en breed uitwaaierende geluidstexturen. Live betekent dat een uitdaging voor een artiest die het gewend is zijn grenzen op te zoeken en zijn creativiteit uit te dagen.
