Hiigo

Zwolle-based Hiigo is at the forefront of the new wave in Dutch pop music. With a full band, they create captivating Dutch-language songs that seamlessly blend subtle, introspective verses into lively, energetic choruses. Despite the weight of their themes, their music remains light-hearted and uplifting. The quintet is clearly inspired by bands like Doe Maar, De Dijk and Acda en de Munnik, but adds a fresh, modern twist—infused with youthful exuberance and freedom.

On March 14, 2025, their debut album Leven In De Leegte will be released—a penetrating reflection on loss and transience, but also on the resilience and vitality that lie hidden in emptiness. Previously released singles such as Tankstation already made an impression, with a nomination as Topsong on Radio 2 and a number 1 listing in the Verlanglijst of 3FM. The album is produced by Rob Peters, known for his work with Typhoon, Maaike Ouboter and Bløf.
