JOHN VINCENT III
Muziek

JOHN VINCENT III

Dit concert wordt om productionele redenen verplaatst naar 31-05-2027. Kaarten met de oude datum blijven geldig op de nieuwe datum. Kaartkopers ontvangen bericht van Ticketmaster met meer informatie indien je bent verhinderd op de nieuwe datum.De folkzanger John Vincent III uit Nashville heeft een trouwe schare fans opgebouwd met zijn oprechte, minimalistische songwriting, geworteld in klassieke folk. Hij brak door met het door de RIAA met goud bekroonde nummer ‘Next To You’ van zijn veelgeprezen debuutalbum Songs From the Valley, dat hij in eigen beheer uitbracht en waarmee hij zijn intieme vertelkunst en warme stemgeluid bij een breed publiek introduceerde. Na een periode van bezinning en heroriëntatie keerde Vincent in 2023 terug met Songs for the Canyon, een suggestief en veelomvattend tweede album dat hij samen met Grammy-winnende engineer Tom Elmhirst produceerde in Electric Lady Studios. Het project betekende een belangrijke artistieke sprong voorwaarts, waarbij hij zijn sonische palet verbreedde met behoud van de emotionele directheid die zijn werk kenmerkt. Nu zet John dat momentum voort in zijn volgende volledige album, dat binnenkort uitkomt, waarbij hij zijn geluid verder ontwikkelt en tegelijkertijd de rauwe eerlijkheid en het vakmanschap verdiept die zijn handelsmerk zijn geworden.

SONS OF THE CULTURE CLASH

Urban Dance Squad returns with new music under a new name! Singer/rapper Rudeboy and DJ DNA are joining forces once again, this time alongside three new band members. The result: brand-new tracks packed with energy, attitude, and that unmistakable sound that once took the world by storm.New Name, Familiar SoundIn 2021, frontman Rudeboy decided to bring the Urban Dance Squad catalog back to the stage. He assembled a group of seasoned musicians and invited original UDS DJ DNA to be part of the project. Performing under the name Rudeboy Plays UDS ft. DJ DNA, the band revisited songs from across the entire Urban Dance Squad discography. Following successful tours in Belgium and France—including an appearance at Hellfest—the first Dutch shows sold out almost immediately. In the years that followed, the band continued to tour extensively, playing numerous sold-out shows and recapturing the improvisational spirit, musical freedom, and explosive energy that made the original Urban Dance Squad such a formidable live act.This year, the next chapter begins. New music will be released through Sounds Haarlem/Suburban Records across two 10-inch vinyl releases. The signature blend of rap, rock, and turntables remains as vital as ever—raw, innovative, and instantly recognizable. That unique sound shines once again in full force. Starting this October, the band will hit the road with a set featuring both brand-new material and an arsenal of Urban Dance Squad classics.Urban Dance SquadAs pioneers of the crossover genre, Urban Dance Squad had a profound influence on bands such as Rage Against the Machine. The group achieved international success and built a formidable reputation as one of the most exciting live acts of its era. They earned the respect and support of artists including Lenny Kravitz and were invited to tour as support for both David Bowie and U2. After releasing five studio albums and following a turbulent yet groundbreaking career, Urban Dance Squad disbanded in 2000. Today, Rudeboy and DJ DNA are carrying that legacy forward—while writing an exciting new chapter of their own.

In his songs, the British songwriter tackles themes such as politics, inequality, and sexism, often with dry humor and a keen sense of melody. Their sound moves between indie, folk, and post-punk, with influences from artists including Sinéad O’Connor, Arctic Monkeys, and David Bowie. In recent years, the band has played at festivals such as Y Not Festival and Neighbourhood Weekender and has amassed over ten million likes on TikTok.People Like YouOn their latest single, “People Like You,” the band offers a sharp reflection on masculinity, violence, and collective memory. The lyrics criticize how harmful ideas are passed down, how history repeats itself, and how a naive trust in inevitable moral progress often leads to disappointment.After the show at Bitterzoet sold out rapidly, Seb Lowe has added a second show at Melkweg on Wednesday, December 9.

ALL YOU NEED IS KILL (2025)
Film

ALL YOU NEED IS KILL (2025)

Together with Kaboom Animation Festival we bring the best anime to the big screen! First came Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s ‘light novel’ in 2004. Ten years later, we saw adaptations as manga, American graphic novel, and the Hollywood blockbuster Edge of Tomorrow. And now, an anime directed by Kenichiro Akimoto. Each time, the story starts over, but slightly different. Which, funnily enough, is exactly the premise of All You Need Is Kill. In its Groundhog Day (1993) meets video game concept, each time you die, your day starts over, you just know a little bit more about what’s coming (something about an alien invader and the total annihilation of Earth). The two most significant changes made by Akimoto and his team are that the main characters aren’t military anymore, but civilian, and that the lead role has shifted from Keiji to Rita. With as an additional story layer the fact that Rita – although the word isn’t explicitly mentioned – is depressed. Which neatly fits the pattern of each day feeling the same, and having no interest at all in tomorrow. Which effectively turns All You Need Is Kill – with all its clearly choreographed fight scenes and the angular, sketchy design for which Studio 4°C is known – into a series of therapy sessions (after all, therapy also requires endless repetition for even minor progress): unless Rita wants to keep dying for the rest of her life (‘Live. Die. Repeat’ was Edge of Tomorrow’s concise slogan), she has no choice but to take an interest in every single detail of today in an attempt to finally make it to tomorrow.Melkweg often hosts different types of programmes at the same time, such as concerts, club nights and films.

Hun muziek typeert zich als dreampop met filmisch minimalisme, subtiele elektronica en poëtische teksten die emoties op een ingetogen maar intense manier overbrengen.Recenter werk ontstond tijdens reizen en optredens over de hele wereld, en onderzoekt verschillende vormen van afstand: fysiek, emotioneel en existentieel. Songs die gaan over vervreemding, verlangen, het verstrijken van de tijd en de spanning tussen de menselijke behoefte aan blijvendheid en de vergankelijkheid van het leven. Tegelijk groeit in hun werk ook een gevoel van intimiteit en verbondenheid, met thema’s als het creëren van een thuis, liefde en kwetsbaarheid. Met delicate melodieën, orkestrale accenten en persoonlijke verhalen creëert Ghostly Kisses een sfeervolle luisterervaring waarin kleine gebaren grote emotionele betekenis krijgen. Hun muziek benadrukt dat echte verbinding mogelijk blijft, zelfs wanneer mensen door afstand of tijd van elkaar gescheiden zijn.

NIMINO

With more than 250 million streams to his name, nimino has become one of the most exciting names in electronic music today. The British producer broke through globally with I Only Smoke When I Drink, a track that entered the UK Singles Chart and spent more than twenty weeks on Billboard’s Dance Chart. In 2025, he followed up this success with the Creek EP and a string of new singles.Behind nimino is Milo Evans, who began making music at a young age as a creative outlet for his ADHD. What started with stitching together loops on an old laptop evolved into a distinctive sound that blends atmospheric electronica, organic sampling and euphoric drops.Following performances at major festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza and Field Day, as well as sold-out headline shows around the world, the Counter Records artist now brings his emotional and cinematic sound to Melkweg.

ADE OPENING CONCERT: KYBBA & METROPOLE ORKEST + SPECIAL GUESTS

This year, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Amsterdam Dance Event. Marking 10 years of their collaboration, the Metropole Orkest and Melkweg are once again teaming up to host one of the opening concerts. The orchestra, conducted by Simon Dobson, will be joined by visionary producer, artist, and cultural architect Kybba.From the sun-drenched region of Salento in Italy to the heart of global club culture in Amsterdam, Kybba has evolved into a boundary-pushing producer and artist with deep roots in Jamaican and LATAM musical heritage.His influence stems mainly from the Basshall Movement, the platform founded in 2016 that grew into a global empire with Basshall Records, Basshall TV, and sold-out events, as well as a large online community centered around dancehall, afro, and Caribbean music. By combining dancehall with bass influences, Kybba scored international hits. ‘Colombian’ and ‘Pon Di Ting’ put him on the map, while ‘Ba Ba Bad’ (2024), featuring legendary Sean Paul and dancehall icon Busy Signal, further strengthened his global breakthrough. His debut mixtape ‘How You Bad Suh’ (2025), marked a defining moment in his career, featuring collaborations with artists including Barrington Levy, Bounty Killer, and Kalash.After a successful tour across iconic cities in North America and Europe, and the launch of his own two-day festival, Kybba now joins forces with the Metropole Orkest for a special tribute to the Basshall sound, reaffirming that music is the ultimate universal language.
