Next show: Hamburg, Fri 30 Oct
De Staat has built a reputation as one of Europe’s most inventive and fearless live acts. For over 25 years, the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of what a rock band can be, combining razor-sharp social commentary with genre-defying music and a uniquely visual stage language. Internationally acclaimed for viral live moments like the hypnotic Witch Doctor circle pit, De Staat has played - and in some cases headlined - major festivals including SXSW, Glastonbury, Lowlands, Sziget, Pukkelpop, Rock Werchter and Deichbrand and toured with bands like The Rolling Stones, Muse, and Biffy Clyro. Their music - spanning industrial grooves, heavy riffs, experimental electronics, and pop sensibility - has been featured in global campaigns and games, winning Edison Awards, 3FM Awards, a Bernays Lifetime Achievement Award and international critical acclaim. In 2026 the band returns with De Staat Becomes De Staat including a new album, live show and large-scale art installation developed with leading stage, light and visual artists.
