Groningen! Wel geboren, niet getogen. Maar ik ben er wel altijd graag 💙 Heel veel zin om op 4 december weer in de Oosterpoort te spelen. Wie van jullie zie ik daar? Oh, en dank Peter van der Heide voor het fijne interview in Dagblad van het Noorden.

Robin Kester maakte een prachtplaat die niet té mooi is

An intensely spooky and vulnerable second album from Robin Kester recorded with Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding) and members of Portishead and This Is the Kit.

Robin Kester heeft met ‘Dark Sky Reserve’ wederom een prachtige plaat gemaakt. Lees hier mijn recensie voor OOR.

Robin Kester een eigen signatuur ontwikkeld die ze op het meeslepende 'Dark Sky Reserve' verder verdiept.

Following in the footsteps of ‘modern renaissance women’ like Michelle Zauner, Dutch artist Robin Kester is focusing on her relationship with herself and the beautiful eeriness of the natural world.

En dan dit juweel. Nog mooier dan haar debuut. Hemelbestormend prachtig vind ik 'm: 'Dark Sky Reserve' van Robin Kester. ★★★★★ in de Volkskrant. #NewMusic #RobinKester #Volkskrant #review #recensie www.volkskrant.nl/cs-b3d359e2/

‘Dark Sky Reserve’ van Robin Kester is zo mooi dat je er tegen buitenlanders over wilt opscheppen

★★★★★ – de Volkskrant on Dark Sky Reserve 🤯 I can hardly believe it! I’m incredibly happy and very grateful for these kind words about Dark Sky Reserve @volkskrant.nl “Robin Kester’s Dark Sky Reserve is so beautiful you’ll want to brag about it abroad.” 💙🥹 www.volkskrant.nl/cultuur-medi...

UK 💙 I’m coming back this November with my first full-band club tour (!!) to celebrate Dark Sky Reserve. Co-headlining with the amazing Iona Zajac! Can’t wait to be back: these nights are going to be unforgettable. Tickets on sale Monday 🎟️✨

Today! @robinkester.com at @greenmanfest.bsky.social – Walled Garden at 13:00.

Really grateful to read the first words about Dark Sky Reserve in print by Record Collector Magazine and online via Carnival of Oddities. The album comes out just over a month, on September 12th on Memphis Industries 💙 One last track coming next week before the full release!

From HUMO; the 8 Dutch artists to watch in Belgium. Featuring @thisislibrarycard.com, @robinkester.com and @personaltrainertje.bsky.social. See them live soon over there; www.humo.be/muziek/hoogd...

Hopping over to the UK in August! Can’t wait to tour, awkwardly man the merch table, and bounce between my English, American, and Dutch accents. Let’s go 💙

A subtle amalgam of chamber pop and soft-spoken electronics. Bad dreams were just that and the problems that might have kept her awake are not that big a deal, when a newfound perspective is beckoning to be taken into consideration. www.herecomestheflood.com/2025/07/robi... @robinkester.com

Hear Robin Kester's enrapturing new single "The Daylight"

Opening for AIR at het Klokgebouw was like a dream First photo by Christophe Dehousse

Full circle moment! Really looking forward to open for AIR in Eindhoven 💙 Years ago we had so much fun playing All I Need at NPO Radio 2

I'm opening for my absolute musical heroes, AIR, this Saturday at Het Klokgebouw in Eindhoven. This feels kind of unreal (in the best way). Their work has been hugely inspirational to me while working on my upcoming record, Dark Sky Reserve. Can’t wait to see them live!

I’ve been listening to This Is The Kit for many years, I love their sound and melodies. So I’m VERY excited to announce that I’ll be joining them on tour this August. I can’t wait to see them perform live and open their shows across the UK 💙

Really looking forward to be playing @thelineofbestfit.com’s Summer Forecast in August @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social 💙

“An Hour Per Day“ is sort of a meta track about itself. “What started as a guitar-based demo and a piano noodle grew into a layered, mostly instrumental track shaped by intuitive improvisation, tension, and happy accidents,” says Dutch musician @robinkester.com. Listen here: #musicsky #glamglarepick

Hear another hypnotic gem from @robinkester.com

I can finally share An Hour Per Day; one of my favourite songs from the upcoming album. Thanks to Una Jongenelis for the beautiful animation. robinkester.ffm.to/anhourperday
