Hooverphonic spends 2026 moving between formats rather than repeating one. The run takes in Tbilisi Open Air in Georgia, alongside Francofolies de Spa, Ronquières, Het Groot Verlof in Leuven, and Vredefeesten in Sint-Niklaas, before the Pallas Theater in Athens in October and the WEX in Marche-en-Famenne in December. Open-air festival fields one week, seated theatre the next.
That spread is our technical brief. 4ears built a flexible material setup that covers shows needing a large PA, shows needing a small one, and shows where the house or festival system is already there and nothing needs adding. The FOH and monitor sets stay fixed across all of it, as do the technicians.
