Anemone

ANEMONE Anemone is a Dutch psychedelic rock quartet driven by emotion, volume, and unpredictability. Their sound moves between hazy introspection and raw, open-hearted intensity—where psychedelic guitar sounds, layered melodies, and grounded rhythms create songs that feel both intimate and expansive. Anemone doesn’t chase nostalgia, but their music carries the grit and honesty of ’90s alternative rock, filtered through a modern psychedelic lens. At the core of the band is singer and guitarist Xander van Dijck, whose expressive vocals and melodic guitar lines guide Anemone’s emotional direction. Davy Knobel bends convention by playing guitar and bass simultaneously, building a dense, hypnotic foundation that blurs the line between rhythm and lead. Behind the drumkit, Joost van Oeveren anchors the sound with dynamic, instinctive drumming, while Joris Zomerdijk adds texture and attitude on acoustic guitar and backing vocals, expanding the band’s sonic palette.

In addition, they have shared the stage with acts like The Animals, Antimatter, The Third Sound, Triggerfinger, Hallo Venray, Telescopes, Film School, and Hausmagger.
