On 5 July, you won't want to miss Alabama Shakes' only Benelux summer show! A long-awaited reunion since their last visit to our country in 2015!

Alabama Shakes, comprised of vocalist/guitarist Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, and bassist Zac Cockrell, was the breakthrough-act of 2012 following the release of their debut album Boys & Girls and their compelling hit "Hold On”. Soon they were hailed as one of the most genuine and electrifying live bands of their generation. The album entered Billboard’s Independent Albums chart at No. 1, earned the band multiple GRAMMY nominations, and was hailed as one of the year’s best albums by numerous magazines, including Rolling Stone. The latter also named lead single "Hold On” the #1 Best Song of 2012. Soon after the song’s release, the band was thrust into the global spotlight, with performances at the White House and on "Saturday Night Live.”

Three years later, they released Sound & Colour (2015), demonstrating the tremendous strides the band made, as observed by The New York Times Magazine which heralded the band’s "soul-stirring, shape-shifting new sound.” The album won several GRAMMY Awards, including Best Alternative Music Album, and yielded classics such as 'Don’t Wanna Fight’ and 'Gimme All Your Love.’
