Hiigo

Hiigo is a Dutch pop band from Zwolle, formed by Koen Gardebroek, Dion van der Geest, Aart de Gier, Peter Terluin and Hans van der Werf. What started as a group of friends with a shared love of music has grown into a band bringing fresh energy to Nederpop. Their songs mix Dutch lyrics with modern influences from The 1975 and Bon Iver, exploring the joys and mild terrors of growing older in music that makes you think while you dance. Since their start in 2021, they have worked with producer Rob Peters, known for Bløf, Typhoon and Flemming, to release their debut EP Thuis in 2024. Singles like Tankstation became a Radio 2 TopSong and reached number one in both De Verrukkelijke 15 and the 3FM Verlanglijst, while their self-organised Tankstation festival has already hosted artists such as Lucky Fonz III, Wies, Droom Dit, Jet van der Steen and Gerson Main.
