Pias news – dEUS returns with ‘keptman’
RETURN WITH 'KEPTMAN'
Keptman - song and lyrics by dEUS | Spotify
"An ambiguously heartfelt ode to dependence and the almost narcotic attraction to beautiful stuff."
That's dEUS talking about Keptman, their first new music since 2023's critically acclaimed How To Replace It. It's an appropriately slippery description for a band that has spent more than three decades turning beautiful things into slightly dangerous ones.
The song began life as a dictaphone demo, written in Portugal and eventually brought back to Antwerp. Even the title happened by accident. Engineer João Portela simply ignored the space between the two words. Some mistakes, as it turns out, are worth keeping.
Keptman arrives hot on the heels of dEUS' Worst Case vs In a Bar tour, a celebratory trip back into the band's early catalogue that concluded with an exhilarating show in Reykjavík earlier this month. But rather than leaving them trapped in the past, the tour seems to have done the opposite. It has pushed dEUS deeper into the present and straight into the studio.
For much of the past year, the band immersed themselves in songs that had been gathering dust for decades. Some were 30 years old; some had never been played live at all. Night after night, the band rediscovered the loose, abrasive and occasionally unruly energy of Worst Case Scenario and In a Bar, Under the Sea. Inevitably, some of that electricity followed them home.
It can be heard all over Keptman.
A crooked guitar riff loops like a bad thought you can't quite shake. Tom Barman delivers his lines with a loose-limbed swagger, somewhere between conversational and confrontational. Klaas Janzoons and new guitarist Simen Følstad pile up layers of noise and countermelodies, while Stéphane Misseghers and Alan Gevaert provide the track with a steady, insistent pulse. Everything keeps tightening until the song erupts into a climax with, appropriately enough, a certain smell of roses.
It's immediate. It's infectious and it's slightly wonky around the edges.
In other words, it sounds like dEUS.
And there's a reason that sound has travelled so far...
Formed in Antwerp in 1991, dEUS were never simply a Belgian band that happened to break internationally. From the release of Worst Case Scenario in 1994, they became part of a broader European alternative-rock conversation, earning critical acclaim and building a following well beyond Belgium. Their music travelled across borders at a time when international success for a Belgian guitar band was far from guaranteed.
Albums such as In a Bar, Under the Sea, The Ideal Crash, Pocket Revolution and Vantage Point expanded that reach, while relentless touring turned dEUS into a formidable live act across Europe and beyond. Over the years, they have played major European venues and festivals and cultivated an audience that has followed them through multiple incarnations of the alternative-rock landscape.
The remarkable thing is not simply that dEUS have survived for more than 35 years. It's that their songs have continued to feel slightly out of place and therefore strangely at home wherever they are played.
Their international career was built without sanding down the eccentricities that made the band interesting in the first place. dEUS have always been comfortable somewhere between art rock and guitar rock, melody and dissonance, elegance and mess. They can write a beautiful song and then spend the next three minutes deliberately making it uncomfortable.
The recent catalogue tour offered a reminder of exactly that. Songs written in the early 1990s suddenly sounded less like museum pieces than raw material. And when the band returned to Vantage Point Studios in Antwerp to start work on a new record, that renewed sense of freedom came with them. The result is an album that is still unnamed but already has a pulse of its own.
Keptman is the first glimpse: It's a song about dependence and desire, about the things we know we probably shouldn't want quite so badly and wanting them anyway. An ambiguously heartfelt ode, perhaps, to the almost narcotic attraction of beautiful stuff. Oh, and it's a total banger!
V2 records news – Bertie Newman – single, ‘between the pines’
BERTIE NEWMAN Signs to V2 Records, and Shares Single "Between The Pines"
26 November live @ AB, Brussels (support for Kodaline)
Listen to between the pines - Single by Bertie Newman | Spotify
London/Hackney-born singer-songwriter Bertie Newman returns with his new single "between the pines", released via V2 Records.
A warm and reflective step into a new chapter, "between the pines" explores the feeling of yearning for a relationship that hasn't arrived yet — imagining what love could look like and the possibilities that come with it. Written during a period when Bertie found himself longing for a deeper romantic connection, the track captures the space between imagination and reality, where the idea of a future relationship can feel almost as vivid as the real thing.
"I was definitely yearning romantically at that time," Bertie explains. "I had this imagination of all the possibilities that could be at some point."
Sonically, "between the pines" sits comfortably within Bertie's tender indie-folk world, pairing understated acoustic textures with his intimate vocal delivery. With echoes of Noah Kahan and early Hozier, the track carries a sense of warmth and openness while retaining the subtle, emotionally direct songwriting that has become central to Bertie's music.
The single follows Bertie's recent five-track EP my dear, porcelain, a deeply personal project exploring grief, growth and acceptance following the loss of a close friend. While the EP looked inward at loss and healing, "between the pines" represents a shift towards possibility — a song about looking forward and imagining what might still be waiting around the corner.
Bertie's ability to turn personal experiences into intimate, relatable songwriting has already earned him a growing international audience. His breakout track "Seaside Eyes" has surpassed 10 million streams.
With support from BBC Introducing, NOTION, Alexrainbird, CULTR and EARMILK, alongside playlist support across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and TIDAL, Bertie continues to build momentum as one of the UK's emerging indie-folk voices.
Growing up in Hackney to musician parents, Bertie didn't begin writing songs until he was 18, when he discovered music as a direct outlet for experiences that were difficult to express elsewhere. Influenced by artists including Bon Iver, Ben Howard, Gregory Alan Isakov and Hozier, his music is rooted in honest storytelling, gentle instrumentation and emotional intimacy.
Following a busy touring year in 2025, supporting Ocie Elliott, Dotan and Ryan Harris across the UK and EU, Bertie will soon join Kodaline for their upcoming UK, Ireland and European tour.
With his tender indie-folk sound and growing international fanbase, Bertie Newman is quietly becoming one of the UK's most exciting emerging artists — inviting listeners into the heart of his story, one song at a time

V2 records news - Björk & Hamrahlíð Choir - Announces New Live Album, "Björk Orkestral with the Hamrahlíð Choir"
ALBUM OUT 27 NOVEMBER 2026
THE LIVE CONCERT EXPERIENCE ARRIVES AS A WORLDWIDE RELEASE
Björk Orkestral with the Hamrahlíð Choir, the extraordinary concert experience recorded at Reykjavík's Harpa Concert Hall on 24 October 2021, will receive its world wide physical release on 27 November 2026.
More than a live recording, Björk Orkestral with the Hamrahlíð Choir captures a meeting between one of Iceland's most singular musical voices and one of its most important choral institutions. Across an expansive reimagining of Björk's catalogue, choral arrangements, electronics and her own voice are brought together to reveal familiar songs in unfamiliar forms, sometimes monumental, sometimes fragile, always deeply physical.
Message from Björk -
i am so happy and proud of this concert .. we all put enormous love , energy and time into it . i have learned slowly through the years , about the juxtaposition of voices and the electronic ... for me it is a philosophical matter , how nature and technology can coexist amicably . i got an opportunity to learn how to get this balance just right , through extensive rehearsals in the space we got in covid . it is often easier for me to do this on the recordings , but here we did it physically live . and i could tweak older songs that i felt i hadn´t acquired experience yet how to perform live . i am grateful to bergur þórisson , þorgerður ingólfsdóttir and the hamrahlíð choir for their generousity and this experience .
thank you
The concert was recorded as part of Björk's series of Orkestral performances at Harpa in 2021, a project conceived around the idea of returning to her music through orchestration rather than spectacle. Stripped back from the elaborate visual worlds of her larger productions, these performances placed the architecture of the songs themselves centre stage: strings, winds, choir, electronics and voice interacting as one living organism.
At the heart of this particular performance is Hamrahlíðarkórinn, the Hamrahlíð Choir, conducted by its legendary founder Þorgerður Ingólfsdóttir, whose relationship with Björk has grown into one of the most significant creative collaborations in her recent work. Some of the arrangements were performed by this choir in the recordings, but this live performance also includes other song originally written for other voice-ensembles or instruments from Björk's catalogue. Their voices bring a different physicality to songs, music that moves between the intimate and the immense
The repertoire draws primarily from the vocal world of Medúlla (2004) and explores the possibilities of the human voice, nature, technology and new forms of musical collaboration. Heard together in this setting, the songs form a kind of alternate history of Björk's work: compositions continuously being dismantled, re-orchestrated and rebuilt through new combinations of breath, bodies, electronics and space.
The performance also carries the particular atmosphere of its time. Recorded in Reykjavíkin October 2021, as live music and collective gatherings were slowly returning after the profound disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, the concert brought together musicians and voices at a moment when the simple act of singing together had acquired an extraordinary significance. Across Björk's four Orkestral concerts at Harpa, more than 100 Icelandic musicians took part, making the series not only a celebration of her catalogue but a portrait of the breadth and depth of Iceland's musical community.
The proceeds from the original concert series supported Kvennaathvarfið, a women's shelter in Reykjavík.
For Björk, theHamrahlíð Choir collaboration has become an ongoing musical relationship rather than a one-off encounter. Þorgerður Ingólfsdóttir and the choir first joined Björk on Body Memory, from 2017's Utopia, before becoming an integral part of the Cornucopia live world. The choir appeared at the original Cornucopia performances at The Shedin New York in 2019, followed by the European tour and the filming of Cornucopiain Lisbon.
The collaboration continues to evolve. Most recently, members of the choir contributed to Sorrowful Soil, part of Björk's immersive installation at the National Gallery of Iceland, demonstrating a creative relationship that continues to move fluidly between recorded music, live performance, visual art and installation.
With Björk Orkestral with the Hamrahlíð Choir, songs that have travelled through decades of Björk's musical language are heard anew, not as replicas of their recorded originals, but as compositions still capable of changing shape. The result is a document of Icelandic musicianship, a celebration of the voice and a rare glimpse into the emotional architecture of Björk's music when the spectacle falls away and the music itself takes centre stage.
About Björk:
Björk is one of the most innovative and influential artists of her generation. Known for her groundbreaking music, visual art, and performances, Björk's career has constantly pushed boundaries in music, technology, and activism. With over 20 million albums sold worldwide, she continues to inspire and challenge audiences with her bold creative visions. From her critically acclaimed app album Biophiliato the immersive Vulnicura VR, Björk has always embraced new technology to enhance her artistry. With Cornucopia, she redefined what it means to be a performer in the 21st century, blending music, theater, and visual art to deliver a message of environmental hope and resilience.
THE HAMRAHLÍÐ CHOIR
The Hamrahlíð Choir has been at the forefront of Icelandic musical life for more than half a century. Þorgerður Ingólfsdóttir formed the Hamrahlíð Choir in 1982 and she has been its conductor ever since. The Hamrahlíð Choir is an ensemble made up of graduates of the hamrahlíð college choir which þorgerður established in 1967.
Around 3000 Icelandic teenagers have come into contact with classical music through the Hamrahlíð choral experience. Many of these had no prior musical training, but through diligent practice they have gone on to participate in music-making of the highest quality, from new Icelandic compositions to the choral masterworks of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart.
The Hamrahlíð College Choir has been a breeding ground for many of Iceland's leading singers, instrumentalists and composers. among the many musicians who are former members of the choir are pianist Víkingur Ólafsson, composer Bára Gísladóttir, composer Haukur Tómasson, musicologist Árni Heimir Ingólfsson, baritone Ólafur Kjartan Sigurðarson, bass Kristinn Sigmundsson and Björk herself.
Although the Hamrahlíð College Choir was primarily devoted to musical education, it has from the very beginning been dedicated to giving performances of the highest quality. Critics of the performances, of both the Hamrahlíð choir and the Hamrahlíð College Choir, throughout the world have praised its accurate intonation, clear diction and the high level of enthusiasm and commitment that are among the hallmarks of the choir's music-making.
Throughout its history, both choirs have collaborated closely with Icelandic composers. over 100 works have been composed especially for the choirs, including works by virtually all of Iceland's leading composers. Apart from its close association with native composers, the choirs have collaborated with foreign artists such as Arvo pärt and John Cage. Arvo Pärt was so impressed with the choir's performance of his Te Deum in 1998 that he composed a choral work dedicated to Þorgerður Ingólfsdóttir, ...which was the son of..., which was premièred in 2000.
The Hamrahlíð Choir sings with a pure, flexible, well-blended sound, and it performs with exuberance and a youthful sense of discovery. With its dedication, passion, and spirit, the hamrahlíð choir has touched audiences around the world. The choir has travelled to 27 countries and has performed at many of the world's leading choral festivals to great acclaim, introducing audiences around the world to the rich legacy of Icelandic choral music.
The choir has participated in festivals in Europe, North America, and Asia, and collaborated with renowned conductors such as Tõnu Kaljuste, Osmo Vänskä, Lukas Foss and Thomas Adés. The choir has been a member of the European Federation of young choirs since 1978, and is one of the founding members of the International Federation for choral music.
Jung Ang zoekt zijn eigen wereld op met ‘Intercom Master’
Met Intercom Master bouwt Jung Ang verder aan een eigen muzikale wereld, waarin dromerige synths, autotune-vocals en catchy melodieën samenkomen. De EP klinkt melancholisch en speels tegelijk en haalt inspiratie uit de digitale wereld, nostalgie en persoonlijke ervaringen.
Op de EP vloeien herinneringen en het online leven in elkaar over. De elektronische producties geven de nummers een dromerig karakter, terwijl de vocals en melodieën voor een toegankelijk en herkenbaar geluid zorgen. Jung Ang creëert zo een wereld die tegelijk vertrouwd en een beetje vervreemdend aanvoelt.
Op zaterdag 24 oktober stelt Jung Ang zijn muziek voor tijdens Metropolis 2126 in Arenberg in Antwerpen. Het evenement brengt theater, muziek en kunst samen en vormt het decor voor zijn eerste liveshow.

Les Nuits Weekender dat plaatsvindt in november. Deze editie wordt een herfstversie van ons traditionele lentefestival, Les Nuits Botanique, maar dan over één weekend. Maar je vindt hier ook dezelfde passie voor nieuwe ontdekkingen die ons zo dierbaar is, in een gedurfd en eclectisch programma
Het Tough Enough festival
Het festival onderscheidt zich door zijn tweeledige programmatie, waarbij traditionele, akoestische- en 'roots' acts worden gecombineerd met meer rock-geïnspireerde sounds, van garage tot punk, surf en psychedelische rock.
Een echte muzikale smeltkroes waar elke artiest op de een of andere manier een unieke band heeft met de blues. En omdat we in de Bota zijn, zal naast gevestigde bands die al bekend zijn bij liefhebbers van de betreffende stijlen, ook veel aandacht worden besteed aan opkomende bands die de toekomst van deze genres vormgeven, de grenzen van hun muziekgenre verleggen, innoveren.
LES NUITS BOTANIQUE
Gevestigde waarden en aanstormende talenten zullen het buitenpodium, de Orangerie en de Rotonde onveilig maken tussen ...
Les Nuits Bota Een festival met de vinger aan de pols Een unieke locatie, een programmatie met een dijk van een reputatie!

Even voorstellen - MYNOLIA - Releases New Single 'Holy Line' & Announces Upcoming Album ‘Salt Around My Bed’
Out 15th January Via Full Time Hobby
"holy line" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8t2RNhZB_k
Spectral singer-songwriter Mynolia releases 'Holy Line', an elemental and serene new single, along with the announcement of her upcoming new album 'Salt Around My Bed', out 15th January 2027 via Full Time Hobby.
New single 'Holy Line' captures the blurring of fantasy and real life, with distinctions dissolving, leaving a hazy, dreamlike environment to explore. The single is accompanied by a live performance video of the song, recorded at Berlin's Schiller Theatre. Its soft, pillowy soundscape wraps around and pulls everything into a trance-like atmosphere, grounded by Mynolia's striking vocals.
On the single Mynolia has said. "This song emerged almost fully from a vivid, bittersweet dream. It's disorienting when there is no discernible distinction between the dream memory and a real-life memory. 'Holy Line' is about reuniting with something you'd never really had, or had all along but didn't know it. The album's title, Salt Around My Bed, comes from the second verse: 'draw circles on my back in the new just like the old, salt around my bed, hoping you'd come along'. For me, the intention and magic was set in the dream, which made that threshold, or holy line, even blurrier."
After years spent in constant motion and relocation, Mynolia found a sense of stillness, settling in Berlin for her first adult years. She then made the decision to embark on a new beginning, landing in the remote wilderness of America's South, where she has drawn on those curative breaths and brought forth her most transformative work to date.
Spending her days learning the land and tapping into the unhurried sounds around her, 'Salt Around My Bed' gives warn-in instruments new life, and molds difficult lessons and fresh wisdoms into hypnotic synths and lush vocals. The fluidity of what 'home' means for Mynolia, is reflected in the songs; a sense of arresting vulnerability is constantly met with an unwavering resilience that comes from a lifetime of experience. She also found herself tuning into the mundane magic unfurling all around, making friends with her superstitions and recognizing the holiness in even the humblest of tasks. The burning of pictures, the scattering of salt, the crushing of eggshells for the garden - Mynolia conducts each ritual with equal care throughout the album, understanding the power we all hold within.
Speaking on the album Mynolia shares:
"My mind is a seesaw in pursuit of balance, but most of the time it's the not thinking that makes things snap into focus, the laughing that deepens the capacity for emotion and temperance that actually lays the foundation for change, both personal and collective."
She brought the almost finished project to the celebrated ambient jazz instrumentalist Rich Ruth, and with the help of musicians and friends from around the world, they fleshed out the final vision. Pete Pételle and Florian Holoubek have added drums and percussion, Full Time Hobby label-mate Spencer Cullum provided pedal steel, with Corin Droullard on horns. Violin and mandolin were courtesy of Patrick McGonigle, with Sam Que on flute. Co-producer Rich Ruth also brought synths, guitar and bass. Mynolia's friend Taylor Wafford (Blood Root) provided backing vocals, and her husband Charles Michael Parks Jr. (of the band All Them Witches) played bass.
The success of Mynolia's first release from the single 'Run Like Hell', drew critical attention from the likes of Clash who called it an "alt-folk hymnal shrouded in magic. Hushed tones reminiscent of Jessica Pratt or Vashti Bunyan"; and The Most Radicalist calling Mynolia's sound "ethereal and otherworldly" and "folky and evocative".
Mynolia is committed to defending this latest chapter, scattering a protective circle around all she has gathered, leaned into, and let go of in recent years, but on Salt Around My Bed, there's space for you to join and welcome peace alongside her.

Even voorstellen – Cmon Cmon - ‘New England In Fall’
Op hun nieuwe single vindt de Limburgse band de perfecte balans tussen popmelodieën en rockritmes!
‘New England In Fall’ werd opgenomen in het voorjaar van 2026.
https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lNHUFsU1PdDa0kI74G3286f-jZJAqpKao
CMON CMON en het productieteam verbleven een week lang in de Hoge Venen voor opnames in de GAM Studios in La Chapelle (Waimes). De sessies vonden plaats slechts enkele maanden voordat een verwoestende brand het natuurgebied in de as legde.
De nieuwe single werd gemixt in de JBJ Studio in Londen door Jamie Brown die eerder o.m. met Primal Scream, The 1975 en Bloxx werkte.
CMON CMON keert terug met een geweldige mix van powerpopmelodieën, harmonieën en dynamiek. Stap voor stap breidt de band zijn discografie uit door klassieke songwriting en boeiende teksten te combineren met de rauwe energie die zo kenmerkend is voor powerpop; ze vinden de perfecte balans tussen popmelodieën en rockritmes en leveren keer op keer pakkende, radiovriendelijke nummers af.
Jorrit Hermans, zanger en gitarist van CMON CMON, legt uit: "New England In Fall is tot nu toe ons meest 'november-achtige' nummer. Ik probeer vrolijke nummers te schrijven, maar dat lukt me nooit helemaal. Het klinkt aangenaam in het gehoor, maar het is verdomd zwaar voor de ziel."
Sinds de release van hun verrassende debuutalbum ‘The Crack and The Light’ (geproducet door Alex Newport) in 2023 en de EP ‘Headwind’ uit 2025, bewandelt CMON CMON een indiepad waarbij oprechte, persoonlijke verhalen in muziekvorm centraal staan.
Deze muzikale reis leidde ertoe dat ze het voorprogramma verzorgden van de uit Boston afkomstige postrock-/indieband The Sheila Divine tijdens hun comebacktournee in 2025.
In Amerika werden hun vorige singles gedraaid op meer dan 40 college radios.
‘New England In Fall’ is de eerste single die CMON CMON heeft afgewerkt na de opnames in La Chapelle. Het artwork is ontworpen door de Belgische ontwerpster Lisa Van de Vyver, met foto's voor de hoes van de Belgische fotograaf Peter M. Hoste.
De foto's van de band zijn tijdens de opnames gemaakt door Karolien Van Nerum.
In 2027 volgen er meerdere nieuwe singles en in de zomer gaat de band opnieuw on the road, gevolgd door een clubtour in het najaar.
Even voorstellen – Henri PFR en Carston – Make love
Dit jaar loopt de zomer gewoon door met de nieuwe single ‘Make Love’ van Henri PFR en Carston.
De Belgische elektronische muzieksensatie Henri PFR slaat de handen in mekaar met de Nederlandse singer/songwriter Carston op de nieuwe single ‘Make Love’.
Een productie die heel zomers aanvoelt en die net daarom uitermate geschikt is om de korter wordende dagen op te luisteren.
“Make Love is ontstaan tijdens een ongelooflijk inspirerende studiosessie met Carston.
We hadden een sterke muzikale connectie en alles viel vanzelf op zijn plaats. Het voelde erg natuurlijk aan en ik wist meteen dat we iets bijzonders hadden gemaakt.” - Henri PFR
“We zaten snel op dezelfde golflengte en de energie in de studio was fantastisch.
Om ‘Make Love’ vervolgens voor het eerst samen live te brengen op Ushuaïa Ibiza,
maakte het verhaal helemaal af.” – Carston

ADE
Op donderdag 22 oktober nemen Henri PFR en Carston samen deel aan de ADE Morning Run.
Dat is een exclusieve, intieme hardlooptocht van 5 km voor 50 tot 100 fans langs iconische locaties in Amsterdam (de Dam, de Magere Brug, het Rijksmuseum), met start en finish bij de Tomorrowland expositie op het Amsterdam Dance Event.
Na afloop spelen Henri PFR en Carston een pop-up optreden.
Inschrijven kan via de sociale media van Henri PFR, Carston en Tomorrowland.

Het Depot en Stad Leuven werkten samen aan nieuwe bruisende plek in Leuven voor muziek, events en nachtcultuur! Het stadsbestuur van Leuven besliste om het gebouw van Domo Meubelen in de Bondgenotenlaan aan te kopen. De stad sluit nu met muziekcentrum Het Depot een samenwerkings- en een erfpachtovereenkomst af voor de invulling, de uitbating en de verbouwing van het pand.

Lawijtstrijd - Lawijtstrijd - Muziekconcours Waasland
LAWIJSTRIJD, het legendarische muziekconcours van het Waasland is terug in een samenwerkingsverband van De Casino Concertzaal, Lokerse Feesten, Crammerock en jeugdhuizen Den Eglantier (De Nest), De Cramme en Okapi. De wedstrijd wordt ondersteund door Cultuurtuin Waas (Interwaas) en de stads- en gemeentebesturen van Lokeren, Sint- Niklaas en Stekene. (zie info site )
AFTRAP: Drie spots worden vrijgehouden voor jonge talenten uit de buurt die hun kans willen wagen om op één van onze podia te spelen die dag. Zij ontvangen naast podiumervaring en eeuwige roem ook catering en drankbonnen voor een dolle avond. Concreet zijn we op zoek naar allround dj’s, maar ook dj’s en live acts uit de hardere en experimentele elektronische genres zijn welkom met hun inzendingen.
De Tijdloze: Tijd voor 90: De Tijdloze en De Casino slaan jaarlijks de handen in elkaar om het muziekrepertoire van de gouden jaren negentig te vieren. Ontstaan als eindejaarslijst op Studio Brussel en na 35 jaar uitgegroeid tot een muzikaal begrip, vervelde De Tijdloze (100) in 2018 tot een onafhankelijk online radiokanaal (VRT MAX / DAB+) waar onder meer Stijn Van De Voorde (For Those About To Rock) en Roos Van Acker (Jouw Tijdloze Ochtenradio) de pop- en rockgeschiedenis alle eer aandoen. Liefhebbers van nostalgische hits kunnen sindsdien afstemmen op deze volwassen geworden digitale stream om er vierentwintig uur per dag, zeven dagen per week de beste klassiekers te beluisteren.
GREAT GIGS IN THE PARK Tien extraordinaire concertavonden De Casino Concertzaal en het stadsbestuur Sint-Niklaas presenteren een derde editie van Great Gigs in the Park. Deze reeks openluchtconcerten, die plaatsvinden in de feeërieke setting van het historische Casino Park (DC terras), wordt dit jaar gespreid over drie weken (van woensdag 14 juni tot donderdag 6 juli) en bundelt in die periode tien extraordinaire openluchtshows op de Casino[1]kiosk. Gezelligheid is het codewoord tijdens Great Gigs in the Park, want voor elk concertavonden worden slechts 600 tickets aangeboden. Programma De line-up van Great Gigs in the Park biedt een staalkaart van waar de Casino voor staat, zijnde een veelheid aan uiteenlopende muziekgenres: van hardrock en post-metal over elektrofunk en groove tot roots en droompop. De Casino presenteert ook elke concertavond een uitgekiende support-act: laureaten van Lawijtstrijd, speerpunten uit de Brusselse elektrojazz-hype, punk-calamiteiten, een crossover tussen doom en oriëntal, maar ook western swing-adepten en singer-songwriters.
