A rock band and a string quartet? Hooverphonic proves that they blend together wonderfully on November 7 at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven. Twenty years after their first acoustic tour, the popular Belgian rock band travels through venues accompanied by, indeed, a string quartet. The motto during the performance in Muziekgebouw Eindhoven is; Sit Down and Listen to Hooverphonic. A command that sounds like music to the ears and immediately clarifies what this promising evening is all about. This special performance promises pure music, stripped down to the core. Enjoy an evening of evergreens centred on the pure vocals of Geike Arnaert. A magical journey through Hooverphonic's career, where they are moving without being overwhelming.

Do you recognize the title of the tour? You might! The eponymous album, recorded with a live orchestra, dates back to 2003 and was already a return to the essence of their sound at that time. Now, they bring the same concept - including a more intimate setting and, of course, a broader repertoire - live directly into the heart. With Geike Arnaert as lead vocalist, supported by Alex Callier on bass guitar, Raymond Geerts on lead guitar, Geert Noppe on keyboards, and Pieter Peirsman on vocals and guitar, Hooverphonic guarantees an evening full of enjoyment of musical craftsmanship.

Hooverphonic has had a brilliant musical career with dozens of chart-topping hits, such as "Mad About You", "The Night Before," and "Unfinished Sympathy." Their music is also featured in popular series like Umbrella Academy, Sex & The City, and Entourage, and the band represented Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021. Ever since their first album, "A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular," you can enjoy their dreamy music with trip-hop influences that blend well with electronic elements. Hooverphonic effortlessly balances timeless melodies and refreshing arrangements, making an unmistakable mark on the Belgian music scene.
