Giveon — North Sea Jazz Festival, Rotterdam, 2026

Filmed concert by American singer Giveon at the North Sea Jazz Festival 2026 at Rotterdam Ahoy, for the festival’s 50th-anniversary edition (10–12 July 2026), captured by Dutch public broadcaster NTR. Rising at the turn of the 2020s, Giveon made his name with a deep, velvety baritone that runs through an elegant, melancholy and deeply soulful contemporary R&B. On the big Rotterdam stage he delivers a nuanced live set, carried by refined arrangements and a sober yet magnetic stage presence. This capture highlights the richness of his tone and the maturity of an artist who combines soul tradition with present-day production. North Sea Jazz, one of the world’s most prestigious festivals, offers an ideal setting for a performance that stays intimate despite the scale of the hall. The full concert video documents a highlight of the 2026 line-up and the rise of one of the great voices of his generation. Worth discovering for the restrained emotion, vocal precision and elegance of a filmed live concert between soul and R&B.
