No Sleepy 'Til Biddinghuizen

Horace Andy with Dub Asante Band and Matic Horns in concert at the 
Lowlands Festival in Biddinghuizen, The Netherlands on Sunday 17th August 2025, in the 'lunchtime slot', 12:30-13:30.

The festival's own promo blurb (admittedly auto translated to English) takes what I will diplomatically describe as an unusual approach from the start...

Reggae legends abound, 
but many are dead and buried. 

Fortunately, Horace Andy isn't, 
even though the singer with the 
instantly recognisable high-pitched voice 
has long since surpassed the seven crosses 
and his dreadlocks have turned white-gray. 

The Jamaican's iconhood is undeniable, 
if only for his all-time classic "Skylarking" 
and a career spanning six decades. 
Many Lowlanders will know him 
as the regular guest vocalist for Massive Attack, 
but nothing is more powerful than 
Horace Andy's own shows.

Unsurprisingly, Horace's hour-long set speaks for itself.
