SUMMARY:The Haunted Youth
LOCATION:Oporto
DESCRIPTION:The Haunted Youth - the band behind Joachim Liebens - might be 
 the biggest Belgian indie rock sensation of the last few years. After thei
 r critically acclaimed debut Dawn of the Freak took Europe by storm\, thei
 r long-awaited album Boys Cry Too was released on May 8\, 2026. With debut
  single Teen Rebel \, The Haunted Youth quickly became a dream pop phenome
 non in Belgium and beyond\, with hazy indie textures and melancholic charm
  winning hearts across the globe. Dawn of the Freak was named album of the
  week in Rolling Stone France and single Gone single of the year by Studio
  Brussel in 2022. The band toured relentlessly behind the record\, hitting
  Rock Werchter\, Pukkelpop\, Lowlands\, Sziget and Iceland Airwaves\, and 
 picking up international airplay along the way. Now there's Boys Cry Too 
 \, Liebens' second album. From the towering eight-minute opener in my head
  (a song that ends with Liebens screaming himself raw amidst howls of feed
 back)\, to the final\, haunted strum of ghost girl \, Boys Cry Too present
 s a viscerally powerful journey through loss\, despair\, heartache\, rage 
 and hope. It's a record fuelled by emotional turmoil - see deathwish 's se
 lf-destructive roar or the defiant punk rock crunch of forget me - but one
  that also reveals a naked vulnerability\, reflected in the crystalline be
 auty of emo song and hurt \, and the emotionally raw confessions within Li
 ebens' lyrics. "The first half of the record is basically how everyone see
 s a boy when he's heartbroken: he puts his walls up\, he's paranoid\, he's
  angry\, he's aggressive. But then the second half is this whole other sto
 ry - it's vulnerable\," Liebens says. "I want to show the vulnerable part 
 of men and boys and celebrate it instead of making it this whole stigma th
 at's been going on for so long." The Boys Cry Too release tour sold 14K+ t
 ickets across Europe\, ending in a 4-day sold out run at Cirque Royal in B
 russels. In its first week of release\, the album was listed number one in
  Belgium. -- 20% OFF FOOD WITH YOUR TICKET We’ve teamed up with our neig
