About The Neighbourhood

Emerging from the sun-drenched, yet often shadowed, landscape of California, The Neighbourhood has carved out a unique space in the modern music scene with their distinctive blend of alt-pop, indie rock, and R&B influences. The band first started turning heads with their 2013 debut album, "I Love You.", propelled by the massive success of the single "Sweater Weather." This track, with its melancholic undertones and effortlessly cool vibe, became an instant anthem and a defining moment for the band, showcasing their ability to craft deeply relatable, emotionally resonant songs.

What sets The Neighbourhood apart is their unwavering commitment to a specific aesthetic and sonic identity. Led by the enigmatic Jesse Rutherford, the band has consistently delivered a sound that is both dark and alluring, characterized by atmospheric synths, driving basslines, and Rutherford’s distinctive, often introspective, vocal delivery. Their music feels like a late-night drive through a neon-lit city, filled with a sense of longing and a cool, detached confidence. Influences range from the poetic introspection of The Smiths to the modern swagger of artists like Frank Ocean, all filtered through their own unique lens.

Over the years, The Neighbourhood has released a string of critically acclaimed EPs and albums, including "Wiped Out!" and "The Neighbourhood." They’ve cultivated a fiercely loyal fanbase who connect with their honest lyricism and their ability to capture the complexities of love, youth, and disillusionment. Their live shows are renowned for their intense atmosphere, meticulously crafted stage presence, and the palpable connection they forge with their audience. This isn't just a band; it's a complete sensory experience, and their Ziggo Dome performance promises to be no exception.
