Antwerp indie trio High Hi bring their shoegaze-tinged dream-pop to Leuven, backed by BBC support and an M83 fanbase
Belgian indie darlings High Hi land at Het Depot in Leuven on Thursday, October 29, 2026, touring their latest release, Noonday Demon — a record that balances dreamy introspection with sharp, memorable hooks.
High Hi — dream-pop with teeth
The Antwerp trio — Anne-Sophie Ooghe (vocals, guitar), Dieter Beerten (vocals, drums), and Koen Weverbergh (bass) — debuted with a dreamy, shoegaze-influenced sound that’s since grown, release by release, into a refined balance between introspection and accessible songwriting.
Their musical signature — instantly recognizable yet hard to pin down — has caught the attention of acts like M83 and influential tastemaker Steve Lamacq, whose early support on the BBC helped push the band toward international recognition.
Their recorded output, from breakthrough record Firepool to the more ambitious follow-up Return to Dust, shows a band constantly pushing its own boundaries without sacrificing accessibility — effortlessly shifting from fragile, ethereal moments into driving, energetic rhythms that stick with you. In an indie landscape that leans increasingly on repetition, High Hi have carved out clearly their own territory, with the sense that their most intriguing work may still be ahead. That feeling — of arriving and looking forward at once — comes through strongly on Noonday Demon.
