About this concert
Na dertien jaar frontvrouw te zijn geweest van de melancholische metalband The Gathering, sloeg Anneke van Giersbergen in 2007 voor zichzelf toe. Sindsdien kent haar creativiteit geen grenzen. Anneke bouwde al snel een succesvolle solocarrière op en heeft meerdere keren opgenomen en opgetreden met het Canadese metalgenie Devin Townsend. Ze heeft haar serene maar krachtige stem ook uitgeleend aan onder meer: Anathema, de IJslandse folkgroep Árstíðir, Within Temptation, Ayreon mastermind Arjen Lucassen, Amorphis en prolegende John Wetton.
Sinds Nederland in de jaren negentig kennis maakte met Anneke, als vocaal en visueel boegbeeld van The Gathering, heeft ze haar naam gevestigd als een van de meest veelzijdige zangeressen van ons land. Met haar krachtige én kwetsbare stemgeluid, songwriterskills envele samenwerkingen met nationale en internationale artiesten – van Devin Townsend tot BLØF – heeft ze inmiddels een succesvolle solocarrière opgebouwd. Niet voor niets werd ze in 2019 onderscheiden met de Buma ROCKS! Export Award, een erkenning en blijk van waardering voor haar succes in het buitenland. Al bijna dertig jaar geniet ze van het mooie en uitdagende muzikantenbestaan, wat ze beschouwt als een droombaan. Ze is er hartstikke trots op en naar aanleiding van haar vijftigste verjaardag heeft ze voor 2023 een aantal cadeautjes in petto, voor haarzelf én voor haar fans.
Support: Ché Aimee Dorval.

Great singer! Surpising arrangements of well known rock classics. Anneke had shortly lost both her parents and still dis a great show. Lots of respect for her and wish her strength in coping with her loss.

Anneke van Giersbergen Biography
After thirteen years as the front woman for melancholic metallers, The Gathering, Anneke van Giersbergen struck out on her own in 2007. Since then, her creativity has known no bounds. Anneke quickly solidified a successful solo career (initially under the moniker Agua de Annique), and has recorded and performed with Canadian metal genius Devin Townsend multiple times. She has also lent her serene yet powerful voice to the likes of: Anathema, Icelandic folk group Árstíðir, Within Temptation, Ayreon mastermind Arjen Lucassen, Amorphis, and prog legend John Wetton.
2012's 'Everything is Changing' was something of a milestone in Anneke's solo career. The album, which was the first to be released under her own name, received two Edison Award nominations – Holland's most prestigious music prize – in the categories 'Best Female Artist' and 'Best Album'.
In 2015, Anneke van Giersbergen and Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon) released their collaborative album 'The Diary' under the name The Gentle Storm.
In October 2017, Anneke's progressive metal outfit VUUR released their much-anticipated debut album. 'In This Moment We Are Free - Cities' entered the Dutch Album Top 100 at number 2, Anneke's highest-ever chart position.
Forever the unpredictable artist, in late 2018, Anneke released 'Symphonized', an 11-track live orchestral album. It was recorded at two career-spanning concerts alongside Residentie Orkest The Hague, and features rearrangements of songs from her entire back catalogue.
2019 saw Dutch music copyright organisation Buma Cultuur honor Anneke with the Buma ROCKS! Export Award. This is their award for the Most Successful Dutch Artist Abroad in Heavy Music.
In 2021, the release of her new solo album 'The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest' saw Anneke surprise her fans all over again.
Anneke now plays solo acoustic shows, band shows and in 2024 a classic tribute to her rock and metal heroes.
