Thank you to everyone who made Rewire 2025 such a special weekend. With the last day of the festival finished, we take a brief moment to look back on Sunday’s highlights, as captured by our photographers.

In the late afternoon, Concordia filled up with people there to witness the wistful, dreamy songs of Milan W. An hour later, the iconic experimental musician Noah Lennox, aka Panda Bear, was joined by his band at PAARD I to perform music from his new album Sinister Grift (2025).

At Koninklijke Schouwburg, the audience were divided into two by Billy Bultheel for his incomparable A Short History of Decay. This one-of-a-kind performance mixed re-interpreted Gregorian melodies, string instruments, and electronics in an interplay with a monolithic instrument of Bultheel’s making. Working with the tension between the ancient and the present, the work shone a light on current geopolitical unrest through monologues co-written with Edwin Nasr.

At Concordia, the eight-piece group caroline premiered songs from their upcoming album in their newly evolved live set-up. While at Theater aan het Spui, sound artist Ioana Vreme Moser inhabited the role of Coquetta – her glamorous alter ego who is obsessed with self-beautification. This spectacle of electronics and beauty products transformed an extravagant make-up routine into a sound piece of playful, flamboyant abrasion.

Moin were joined at PAARD I by special guests Sophia Al-Maria, Olan Monk, and Coby Sey to perform music from their critically acclaimed new album, while down the road at Theater aan het Spui, Colin Self presented the world premiere of Gasp! – this glitzy opera involved music, video, and puppetry.

The special intergenerational collaboration between leftfield electronic producer Oceanic and Greetje Bijma – legendary vocalist of the Dutch jazz scene – brought a special energy to Concordia, before Lyra Pramuk premiered a brand new audiovisual show in the grand concert hall of Amare. Then, at PAARD I, noise fans revelled in the long-anticipated return of Yellow Swans.

Last, but certainly not least, during the festival’s closing moments, Amare’s concert hall filled up again for the special return of Laurie Anderson to Rewire – who was joined by composer and electro-acoustic violinist Martha Mooke.
