In The Irish Road Trip, Anneke van Giersbergen takes you through Ireland’s rich musical tradition. Ireland’s vibrant music scene is loved all over the world, and it also holds a special place in Van Giersbergen’s own record collection. From traditional folk to major rock bands, from Enya to U2 and from Molly Malone to Whiskey in the Jar: her clear, powerful voice is perfectly suited to a personal anthology of Irish music history.

Anneke van Giersbergen travels through Irish music history
Traditional songs, world-famous rock classics and intimate melodies come together in a theatre concert full of stories, atmosphere and musical recognition. Van Giersbergen is one of the most versatile voices in Dutch music. She gained international recognition as the frontwoman of The Gathering, the band with which she played a defining role in melancholic metal and alternative rock in the 1990s. After leaving the band in 2007, she built a wide-ranging solo career, moving effortlessly between rock, folk, acoustic songwriting and symphonic projects. She has also collaborated with artists including Devin Townsend, Arjen Lucassen, Within Temptation, Árstíðir and Amorphis.

In the Netherlands, Van Giersbergen reached an even wider audience through her appearance on the popular television show Beste Zangers, where her powerful and emotional voice made a lasting impression. In The Irish Road Trip, she returns to the directness and emotional force of the song, accompanied by guitar, violin and percussion. Her voice feels completely at home in the melancholy, warmth and energy of Irish music.

A warm theatre evening full of folk, rock and stories
Together with Gijs Coolen, Allie Summers and Martijn Bosman, Van Giersbergen travels through decades, and sometimes centuries, of Irish music. The Irish Road Trip is a warm theatre concert for lovers of folk, pop and rock, with familiar songs, surprising choices and the pure power of live music.

“With her powerful and clear voice, it sounds as if Irish blood flows through her own veins.”
— Heaven
