Record Store Day 2026.
In the Summer of 2023, Dans Dans were nearing the end of a two-and-a-half-year-long period of intense creativity, during which they released two celebrated albums, Zink and 6, and toured extensively in Belgium and abroad. Feeling it was time for a well-deserved break in activity, they decided to play three final, intimate concerts before going into hiding: two consecutive nights at Trix in Antwerp (hometown of drummer Steven Cassiers and guitarist Bert Dockx) and one at Botanique in Brussels (hometown of bassist Frederic Jacques).
LIVE! is Dans Dans’ first ever full length live record and features highlights from these memorable nights, offering rousing, expansive, at times explosive versions of several of the group’s most beloved compositions from across their large back catalogue. While the band is, at the time of writing, getting ready to start working on new material, these recordings are a good reminder of the spontaneous magic they are able to conjur when they get together and play. Here is one of the most original instrumental trios of the last two decades at full flight, effortlessly blending different musical genres and painting vast sonic landscapes filled with excitement, energy, mystery and contrast. Here is Dans Dans in their natural habitat – on stage, in front of a live audience – performing, interacting, creating, ascending and descending, searching, grooving and rocking.
