Noisia to Reunite for Amsterdam Show Seven Years After Split
Dutch electronic trio Noisia are reuniting after seven years apart, with their first show back set for Dec. 4 at Melkweg in Amsterdam. The group announced the reunion on Sept. 17, Billboard reported.
The trio are Nik Roos, Martijn van Sonderen and Thijs de Vlieger. Melkweg holds history for them. They played the Amsterdam venue during their farewell tour, which ran into 2022 after pandemic disruption pushed back dates and extended the goodbye.
The news was teased on Sept. 10 with the release of Vlucht, a 27-minute documentary directed by Farhad Khodadadzade. The film brings the three members together on camera to talk through the break and what changed. It arrived just one week before the reunion confirmation, giving fans a first hint that something was coming.
Noisia come from Groningen in the Netherlands and have made music together since 2003, according to Noisia's official site. That is more than two decades as a group. Their main ground is drum & bass, a fast electronic style built around heavy bass and rapid drums, and neurofunk, a darker and more technical branch of that sound. They also work in sound design, the craft of building sounds for records, games and stage shows.
Their catalogue includes the albums Split The Atom and Outer Edges. They joined forces with British act Foreign Beggars for the I Am Legion project, which paired rap vocals with heavy electronic production. They have also written scores for the video game Devil May Cry and for Sleeping Beauty Dreams, a dance production. Much of their music is linked to their own VISION and Division labels, which release and manage their work.
The group's website now carries a news post titled 'NOISIA ARE IN MOTION AGAIN'. It also offers presale access through registration for the Dec. 4 Melkweg date, which is listed as the comeback show. Presale access is organised this way so fans can sign up early before any general sale.
For fans, this means a short wait and a small room. Melkweg is not a stadium. It is a chance to see a group known for detailed studio work back on stage together.
What makes this stand out is the restraint. There is no long tour announcement and no album news so far, just a single Amsterdam date and a short film to explain the pause.
