Groningen! Wel geboren, niet getogen. Maar ik ben er wel altijd graag 💙 Heel veel zin om op 4 december weer in de Oosterpoort te spelen. Wie van jullie zie ik daar? Oh, en dank Peter van der Heide voor het fijne interview in Dagblad van het Noorden.

This is Departure, recorded live with the lovely people at Crouch End Studios in London. Can’t wait to play this one live again with the band in November. Hope you like it www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxZ_...

Opening for Cate Le Bon in Manchester, Madrid and Barcelona!! Her music is incredible, and she’s written some of my all-time favourite songs 💙 Still can’t believe I get to see her live and be part of the tour!

★★★★★ – de Volkskrant on Dark Sky Reserve 🤯

I can hardly believe it! I’m incredibly happy and very grateful for these kind words about Dark Sky Reserve @volkskrant.nl

“Robin Kester’s Dark Sky Reserve is so beautiful you’ll want to brag about it abroad.” 💙🥹

Really grateful to read the first words about Dark Sky Reserve in print by Record Collector Magazine
and online via Carnival of Oddities.
The album comes out just over a month, on September 12th on Memphis Industries 💙
One last track coming next week before the full release!

Hopping over to the UK in August! Can’t wait to tour, awkwardly man the merch table, and bounce between my English, American, and Dutch accents. Let’s go 💙

Full circle moment! Really looking forward to open for AIR in Eindhoven 💙 Years ago we had so much fun playing All I Need at NPO Radio 2

I'm opening for my absolute musical heroes, AIR, this Saturday at Het Klokgebouw in Eindhoven.

This feels kind of unreal (in the best way). Their work has been hugely inspirational to me while working on my upcoming record, Dark Sky Reserve.

Can’t wait to see them live!

I’ve been listening to This Is The Kit for many years, I love their sound and melodies. So I’m VERY excited to announce that I’ll be joining them on tour this August. I can’t wait to see them perform live and open their shows across the UK 💙

One for you and one for me. The amazing Das Pop returns for two shows in Antwerp and Brussels… and looks who’s opening the ball? Excited to play some new songs at @deromavzw.bsky.social and Ancienne Belgique. See you there?
