About this concert
Verjaardagen vieren is aan Anneke van Giersbergen doorgaans niet besteed, maar haar vijftigste - op 8 maart 2023 - wil ze niet ongemerkt voorbij laten gaan. Deze mijlpaal beschouwt de zangeres als een uitgelezen moment om haar fans te trakteren op een speciale show met highlights uit haar bijna dertigjarige carrière. En die zijn er meer dan voldoende.
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 cadeautjesin petto, voor haarzelf én voor haar fans.
Met haar vijfkoppige band presenteert ze een setlist met de mooiste liedjes, speciaal voor deshows op de festivals aankomende zomer. Met een reeks hoogtepunten uit haar omvangrijke oeuvre, maar ook een aantal hagelnieuwe songs, aangevuld met covers van artiesten die haar het meest dierbaar zijn.
Support: Ché Aimee Dorval.

Anneke van Giersbergen Biography
Anneke van Giersbergen is a Dutch singer-songwriter, known for her serene yet powerful voice, musical versatility, and captivating stage presence.
Her new album will be titled La Vie, La Mort, L’Amour - French for ‘Life, Death, Love’. This collection of songs will be released as a trilogy. The first EP, La Vie, will be available digitally on February 28.
Anneke comments: “I wrote these songs shortly after the passing of both of my parents and I brought my 8-piece live band into the studio to record them. Last year, I was confronted with some of life’s biggest questions and the doubt that came with my loss. These songs reflect my emotions and thoughts during that challenging time. Musically, I was inspired by the sounds of the '80s and '90s, the music that shaped my youth.”
In 2026, the three EPs will come together to form a full-length album. The release of the third EP will coincide with a physical version containing all the songs, available as a CD Digipak and Gatefold LP.
After thirteen years as the frontwoman for melancholic metallers The Gathering, Anneke ventured out on her own in 2007. Since then, her creativity has known no bounds. She quickly established a successful solo career, while also collaborating frequently with Canadian metal genius Devin Townsend and Ayreon mastermind Arjen Lucassen. Additionally, Anneke has lent her voice to a diverse range of artists, including Napalm Death, Icelandic folk group Árstíðir, Amorphis, and prog legend John Wetton.
In 2019, the Dutch music copyright organization Buma Cultuur honored Anneke with the Buma ROCKS! Export Award, recognizing her as one of the most prominent Dutch artists abroad in heavy music.
The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest, Anneke's 23rd career album, was released in 2021. This deeply personal record captivated her fans once again.
The five reunion concerts that she will perform in August 2025 with her former band, The Gathering, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the classic album Mandylion, sold out within minutes.
