Sinéad - 40 years The Lion and The Cobra

In 1987, Sinéad O’Connor shook the music world to its foundations. Her debut album The Lion and the Cobra was an artistic sledgehammer blow: uncompromising, raw, poetic, and bold. Forty years later, this record still sounds fresh, urgent, and moving. Sinéad was more than a singer. She was a powerful symbol of vulnerability and resistance. Her exceptional voice and sharp social awareness left an indelible impression on the music world and far beyond. Tonight, this debut album is fully celebrated, supplemented with her most iconic songs from later periods. A musical trip along the fury of Mandinka, the epic emotion of Troy, the spiritual depth of Jerusalem, and of course the immortal Nothing Compares 2 U. Leen Diependaele - known from, among others, The History of New Wave concerts - and her musical companions immerse you in an immersive concert that does justice to the artistic legacy of one of the most striking voices of the past decades. Met Leen Diependaele (vocals), Roeland Vandemoortele (guitar and backing vocals), Kris Delacourt (guitar and backing vocals), Reinout Swinnen (keys and backing vocals), Bart Van Lierde (bass), Davy Deckmijn (drums)
