The Haunted Youth - Teen Rebel | Live @ANCHOR Award Show | Reeperbahn Festival 2022

Watch ANCHOR nominee The Haunted Youth’s live performance at the ANCHOR Award show 2022!

ANCHOR – The Award Show is the highlight of the previous competition. On this special evening our wonderful hosts Aminata Belli and Steven Gätjen  present the best six up-and-coming live acts of the year at the St. Pauli Theater, and the jury consisting of Bill Kaulitz, Joy Denalane, Pabllo Vittar, Pelle Almqvist, Tayla Parx and Tony Visconti announce the winner of the ANCHOR 2022. 

Faded sepia-tinted video shots, the grainy nostalgia of a long-forgotten polaroid and all the memories that can cling to it: The Haunted Youth from Belgium evoke feelings for a yesterday that may not even be their own. Nevertheless, the reverberating dream pop of the still very young quintet develops a certain longing for better times, if the speakers can just resound loud enough. A recipe for emotional resonance that is not old, but is implemented by the Limburg boys with an extraordinary flair for melodies and effects. Songs of the perceived ambiguity of “Teen Rebel” or “Coming Home” carry the bitter sweetness of unrequited love, but also the anticipation of everything that may be yet to come. This puts them in a rich tradition stretching from MGMT and DIIV to Slowdive and The Cure. Anyone who can relate to this spectrum of sounds is fairly sure to go into raptures with The Haunted Youth, whether just in their head or on the dance floor too.

Reeperbahn Festival is the biggest club festival in Europe and the largest European platform for international pop culture and the music industry.
