Oscar and the Wolf – the project of Belgian artist Max Colombie – made a triumphant return to Sportpaleis Antwerp on March 14 & 15 with two electrifying, sold-out performances, marking his highly anticipated return to the Belgian arena after a three-year hiatus. More than 30,000 fans witnessed the grand finale of his European tour in support of his latest album TASTE. The tour spanned Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, France, and the UK, before culminating in an unforgettable spectacle in Antwerp. On Thursday, March 20, Oscar and the Wolf took over the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam for another sold-out show.

A multilayered pop experience
​The Sportpaleis shows delivered a groundbreaking performance, elevating Oscar and the Wolf’s signature style to new heights. Featuring a mesmerizing fusion of European and American pop influences, the production was nothing short of extraordinary, solidifying Oscar and the Wolf as one of Europe’s top pop acts. Fans were immersed in a visually stunning world of intricate stage design, breathtaking visuals, and an army of 30 dancers, adding to the spectacle. The energy in the venue was unparalleled, and critics unanimously praised the performance.

What’s next for Oscar and the Wolf
​With the Sportpaleis shows setting a new benchmark, Oscar and the Wolf now looks ahead to an exciting summer of festival performances. He is set to headline Pinkpop and Pukkelpop, further cementing his status as one of Europe’s most compelling pop acts. Adding to the excitement, Oscar and the Wolf will bring a unique experience to Tomorrowland, where he is confirmed for an exclusive ‘After Hours’ set on the CORE stage. This first-of-its-kind performance will feature a dynamic blend of clubby remixes of his most beloved songs, enhanced by live vocals, promising an unforgettable night for fans and festival-goers alike.

About Oscar and the Wolf
​Since Oscar and the Wolf’s inception 10 years ago, Max Colombie has crafted a highly distinct blend of club music, cutting-edge pop and hot-blooded R&B. Spearheaded by his albums ‘Entity’ (2014), ‘Infinity’ (2017) and ‘Shimmer’ (2021), the project flourished into a critically acclaimed arena-selling tour de force. It made the Belgian superstar a true rarity amongst his arena-selling peers: a magnetic and fluid performer who can somehow embody his most vulnerable and grandiose self within a single instant. On ‘TASTE’, Colombie is unafraid to attack a euphoric club track with heavy personal admissions – creating sharp contrasts that elevate both body and mind towards even greater thrills.
