Anouk to perform twice with Metropole Orkest at Ziggo Dome next year

Singer Anouk will perform two shows with the Metropole Orkest at the Amsterdam Ziggo Dome next June, featuring both old and new songs. The artist also indicated that her next album might be her last, as she explores new ways to fund her future music projects.

Dutch singer Anouk has announced that she will perform two concerts alongside the Metropole Orkest at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam next June. The shows will feature a mix of her recent work and new music, with one performance scheduled as an afternoon matinee starting at 3:00 PM. The 51-year-old artist noted that she prefers earlier times to ensure she is home at a reasonable hour, an idea she first shared during a performance at Live on the Beach earlier this month.

In addition to the concert news, Anouk has expressed uncertainty regarding her future recording career, suggesting that her upcoming album could be her final release. She cited the financial challenges of producing new albums every few years and mentioned that she may adopt a fan-funded donation model starting in 2027. Despite these career shifts, the singer has remained active on the touring circuit, having previously performed at the Ziggo Dome last year and appearing at various festivals throughout this year.
