10 jaar Kerst met Stippenlift

About this event

It has been 10 years since Stippenlift debuted with “Huilen (Kerst)” and gave complex (Christmas) feelings a new language. With a large collection of Christmas hits and associated coziness traumas, the artist will visit Simplon in December! ‘10 Jaar Kerst met Stippenlift’ is the ideal outing for anyone who doesn't like outings, doesn't like people, doesn't like Christmas but also loves Christmas, people, and outings, or feels the potential to become such a person someday. Since the first release Gemiste Kansen vol. 1 in 2016, Stippenlift has frequently released new depriwave: the self-proclaimed genre that has since taken on a life of its own. Through Stippenlift, singer and producer Hugo van de Poel shares his lifelong struggle with depression and life in a neurotypical world. The 'hits' go by titles like Huilen, Autisme, Was Ik Maar Dood, or what about Euthanasie?! Few artists can bring so much misery with so much energy and enthusiasm! Simultaneously feeling hate/love for the complexity of things, which is nowhere as palpable as around Christmas. Stippenlift is recommended by (some) psychologists for severe depression.
