Snarky Puppy, Metropole Orkest & Jules Buckley: The recording sessions
Klik hier voor de Nederlandse pagina.
History repeats! In January 2025, the highly-revered collaboration between Snarky Puppy, the Metropole Orkest and conductor Jules Buckley continues with 6 groundbreaking recording sessions over 3 nights in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Limited tickets will be made available for each session, giving you the chance to witness this collaboration unfold at KABUL à GoGo, a venue known for its unique atmosphere and world-class acoustics.
Following the success of their previous Grammy-winning collaboration ‘Sylva’, Snarky Puppy’s intricate, groove-driven sound will once again merge with the rich, cinematic orchestration of the Metropole Orkest under the visionary direction of Jules Buckley. This dynamic pairing will premiere over 40 minutes of brand-new, original music written by Michael League. The sessions last approximately 75 minutes
This is more than just a recording session – it’s a celebration of the boundless creativity that happens when these incredible forces come together.
As an attendee, you’ll be (physically) right in the middle of the recording. Headphones will be provided and you can elect to sit in any available seat you like, as always. You’ll be the first to hear the new music, the only ones to hear it in its rawest, unmixed, and unmastered form, and, most importantly, a big part of bringing it to life.
One ticket includes:
– A seat to the early or late set (headphones provided)
– Access to the after-party for the evening of your ticket
– Digital download of the album upon its release
By purchasing a ticket, you consent to being filmed, recorded and potentially appearing in the video release of Snarky Puppy’s upcoming record. All attendees (including children) must purchase a ticket.
Tickets for the sessions on January 16, 17 and 18 will be available on a first-come, first-served basis on Wednesday, November 27th at 1PM CET / 7AM EST / 4AM PST on this page.
