Mathilde Nobel + GAIKO
Dark and dreamy alt pop, sprinkled with club sensibilities for cool summer nights.
Last minute bonus: GAIKO joins the line-up!
Unfortunately BEA 1991 had to cancel </3
Fortunately Brussels' own GAIKO is joining the line-up with an AV-show <3
Since Mathilde’s previous (much acclaimed!) full albums, we were eagerly waiting for this more-than-music artist to treat us again to whole new audiovisual universes. Et voila, a new tour with new work, stopping in Brussels for a live show above the clouds. Seems like a lovely place to start, no? Let’s dive in together </3

Mathilde Nobel is a Rotterdam-based artist whose work bridges ethereal sound design with a deconstructed club sensibility – think vocals that are at once angelic (sometimes) and processed (always), combined with fragmented rhythms and cinematic atmospheres. As a self-taught musician, she released her first full-length Founds on Land on Nous’klaer Audio. Next to shows at NL’s finest such as Rewire, Dekmantel, and Draaimolen, it was none other than techno pioneer Marcel Dettmann who remixed four of her tracks, expanding Mathilde’s sound into new sonic territory. Her fresh new full album WIDE AWAKE OPEN is out on Intercept since April 2026, it comes with a special live show involving a ring to modulate visuals (yes, really), and will definitily be in our playlist before, during and after the summer fling heartbreak…

GAIKO is a producer and DJ from Brussels. He grew up in a musical family to the sounds of jazz, played piano as a child and eventually found his way to electronic production through his eager appetite for experimentation. In May 2025, the trailblazing Rotterdam label Nous'klaer Audio released his debut album (which was celebrated accordingly at you-know-whereschouwburg). Together with director Alexander Wolfgang, GAIKO has developed an audiovisual show that leans into the mechanics of theatre and film to welcome you into his artistic universe. If you missed it at Gula Gula festival last year, tonight you get a last-minute new chance.
Big up to GAIKO for filling in for BEA 1991!
