About this concert
Zangeres Anneke van Giersbergen heeft een van de meest veelzijdige stemmen van Nederland: krachtig én kwetsbaar. Ze werd bekend als frontvrouw van The Gathering, maar inmiddels heeft ze al vele jaren een succesvolle solocarrière. Dat ze een muzikale kameleon is, blijkt uit de samenwerkingen met artiesten als Devin Townsend, de IJslandse folkgroep Árstíðir, Amorphis en prog-legende John Wetton (King Crimson). Daarnaast horen miljoenen mensen jaarlijks haar stem in de Efteling-attractie Baron 1898.
In 2019 werd Anneke onderscheiden met de Buma ROCKS! Export Award als erkenning en waardering voor haar succes in het buitenland.
Begin 2021 verscheen haar openhartige soloalbum The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest, later dat jaar deed Anneke mee aan het populaire televisieprogramma Beste Zangers, waarin ze veel indruk maakte bij een breed publiek.

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.
