Support: Habitants
Habitants is a Dutch band founded by René Rutten (The Gathering), who create a unique soundscape with their dark, atmospheric mix of alternative and trip rock. Dreamy 80s influences merge with melancholic melodies and the ethereal voice of Anne van den Hoogen (Rosemary & Garlic), carried by enchanting reverb guitars. The result is a sound that is simultaneously vulnerable, powerful, and unforgettable.
With their debut album One Self (2018), Habitants established themselves as a promising name within the alternative music scene, followed by national club tours and festival appearances. Their second album Alma (2024), produced by Attie Bauw, was named Album of the Month by Rock Hard France and confirmed the band's international growth and recognition.
