Music & Performance
Compared to their last visit to Cologne in 2023, the increased size of the venue was a clear indication that the duo, with their band HAEVN, also has a steadily growing fanbase in Germany. As Cologne is relatively easy to reach from the Netherlands, numerous Dutch - and even a few Belgian - number plates could be seen in the car park.

Right on time, the musicians took to the stage and took their places. Alongside a drummer, a guitarist and another keyboardist, the ensemble also included four string players. Whilst Jorrit sat at his keyboard, Marijn stood in the centre of the stage. With their calm, dreamy and ethereal music, the two Dutch musicians enchanted the audience in the almost sold-out hall throughout the performance. Couples lay in each other’s arms and, at times, a tear could be seen rolling down a cheek.

In between songs, Jorrit even addressed the audience with a few words in German. He thanked the fans for their support, even in these uncertain times. Besides such classics as classics such as ‘Bright Lights’ and ‘We Are’, HAEVN performed ‘Get Up’ live for the first time. The highlight of the evening, however, was the appearance of guest musician Neco Novellas. With the unique timbre of his voice, the charismatic singer brought a slightly different, yet equally enchanting atmosphere to the venue.

In keeping with the musical atmosphere, the stage was bathed in appropriate lighting. At times, the musicians were also illuminated by spotlights. This evening is sure to remain in the memories of all those who attended for a long time to come.
