CONCERTS & GIGS

The Weather Station

For fans of: Bon Iver, Lucy Dacus

Climate-conscious pop might not sound like the most romantic – though any music with a cause has our interest piqued – but The Weather Station makes blissful, meandering melodies with a message for the earth. Originally hailing from Toronto, Canada, the band have released a number of critically acclaimed albums including 2021’s Ignorance, which is a great gateway LP into their sound. Catch them at leafy Tolhuistuin soon.

Dua Saleh

Best known for their starring role in Sex Education as Cal, Dua Saleh has been generating buzz in music, too. Crafting a hypnotic blend of pop, R&B, hip-hop, and indie, their 2024 debut I Should Call Them is a perfect sundown album that’s set to turn Melkweg into one intimate bedroom – and an audience both lovestruck and lingering.

Laura Misch

For fans of: Charlotte Day-Wilson, Mansur Brown

Saxophonist, producer, and composer Laura Misch has long proved she can do it all. Now she’s bringing her electro-acoustic back catalogue to the hallowed, modernist halls of Bimhuis, where her one-woman show invites deep listening and contemplation through songs inspired by nature.

MØ Presents: Plæygirl

Billed as a dance party for people who hate them, this special showcase is curated by Danish singer MØ, who’s set to perform new songs alongside emerging artists and Djs. There’s not a whole lot of info around the night but it’s at Cinetol which is always a good option. The only thing you need to know is the dresscode: black.
