Maastricht, since 2009
Lesoir
The story
Since forming in Maastricht in 2009, Lesoir have built an international following through immersive songwriting, emotional dynamics and a live reputation that continues to grow. Their reach has taken them far beyond the Netherlands, including four headline tours in China and extensive touring across Europe.
A five-week European tour with Riverside in 2019, and a return with them in 2023, introduced the band to a wider international audience. Along the way they have shared stages with The Gathering, Evergrey, The Pineapple Thief, Airbag, Delain and Within Temptation, and played festivals including Night Of The Prog, IO Pages, Midsummer Prog, Morvala, Fekete Zaj and Nene Valley Rock.
With Tomorrow Is Now Today, Lesoir continue a long creative relationship with producer John Cornfield and vocal producer Paul Reeve, with mastering by Steve Kitch of The Pineapple Thief, sharpening their sound without losing the raw emotion, atmosphere and live energy that define them.
