18.05. The Arch

Four decades after its founding, Belgian cult band The Arch is returning to the stage in May and June for an exclusive tour of Germany. The 40th anniversary tour celebrates an extraordinary career spanning post-punk, new wave, and electronic melancholy—and promises intense concert evenings full of atmosphere, energy, and nostalgia.

Since the 1980s, The Arch has been known for its distinctive sound, combining cool synthesizer pads with driving beats and catchy melodies. With timeless classics and numerous releases, they have gained a loyal fan base not only on the Belgian scene, but throughout Europe. Their music bridges the gap between dark romanticism and danceable dynamics – a trademark that has lost none of its fascination to this day.

The anniversary tour offers a cross-section of 40 years of band history: in addition to well-known highlights, fans can also look forward to selected rarities and special live moments. The concerts in Germany in May and June are a rare opportunity to experience the band in an intimate club atmosphere – approachable, authentic, and with the passion that has driven them for four decades. This anniversary is not just a retrospective, but a powerful statement in the present: The Arch celebrate their past – and sound as alive as ever.
