Warhaus feat. Julien Libeer

When singer/songwriter meets piano virtuoso: Maarten Devoldere aka Warhaus and classical concert pianist Julien Libeer explore the repertoire of Devoldere's solo project together and create a sophisticated, captivating reinterpretation of Warhaus songs on their musical journey. On June 16, 2026, the two Belgians will perform as a unique duo in Hamburg in the Small Hall of the Laieszhalle.

With the likes of Stromae, Lost Frequencies and Gotye, Warhaus is considered an indispensable Belgian export hit. In 2016, Devoldere, previously known primarily as the singer and guitarist of the band Balthazar, launched his solo project and has now released four studio albums with his dark, cinematic sound, in which role models such as Nick Cave and Tom Waits resonate between the lines. With the last LP "Karaoke Moon" (2024), the Belgian artist invited listeners even deeper into his dreamy, thoughtful worlds. The first single "Where The Names Are Real", with its spoken-word tale of first love, underlines the atmospheric urgency of his music - Warhaus' unmistakable trademark.

His duo partner for this special concert is Julien Libeer. The classical pianist is known for his profound musical attitude, his expressive style of interpretation and his fine feel for the works he performs. Born in the tranquil West Flemish town of Kortrijk, the musician studied at the Royal Conservatoire in Brussels and now regularly performs at major international venues such as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Barbican Hall in London, the Elbphilharmonie and the Palau de la Música in Barcelona. The pianist has already received the Echo Klassik Prize 2017 and the Diapason d'Or de l'Année 2016 for his works and collaborations.

When these two worlds meet in Hamburg's Laieszhalle in June, the result will be a genuine artistic dialog. Enriched by Libeyer's soundscapes, the musical environment in which Devoldere has felt at home for years unfolds: unique, atmospheric and a little mysterious. The newly interpreted Warhaus repertoire promises an unforgettable concert evening in which the dark poetry of Warhaus shines through in the expressive piano garb of Libeer.
