Mitski

Mitski returns to the Netherlands for two shows at AFAS Live
Largest shows in the Netherlands for the American-Japanese indie pop artist

Amsterdam is one of the few cities Mitski will visit during the world tour following the release of her eighth album Nothing’s About to Happen to Me. In addition to Amsterdam, she will also perform in, among others, Singapore, Sydney, Los Angeles and Istanbul. The last time the 35-year-old singer-songwriter performed in the Netherlands was in 2024. At the time, she played two sold-out shows at the Royal Theatre Carré in Amsterdam, which were met with enthusiastic reviews from, among others, NRC and OOR. Her distinctive way of performing, in which she seeks musical variety and creates a unique performance through theatrical elements such as lighting and choreography, results in a one-of-a-kind show every time. At Carré she performed with a seven-piece band. That same band can also be heard on Nothing’s About to Happen to Me, her new album to be released on February 27.

Mitski
Mitski is one of the biggest stars in contemporary indie pop and boasts astronomical streaming numbers. In her music she combines styles such as folk, pop, rock and electronic music with personal lyrics about themes like anxiety, loneliness, vulnerability and a sense of inadequacy. Her major breakthrough came in 2018 with her fifth album Be the Cowboy, which was named album of the year by music media worldwide. Her songs Nobody and Washing Machine Heart grew into TikTok hits. With more than one and a half billion views on TikTok and over two and a half million videos using her music as a soundtrack, she is one of the most popular artists on the social media platform. That her emotional lyrics resonate with her loyal fans is evident from the fact that they even have their own hashtag on TikTok: #Mitskiistherapy has more than fifty million views.
