DE STAAT

About

De Staat is a Dutch rock band from Nijmegen, founded in 2006 by singer and producer Torre Florim as a solo project before growing into a five-piece. Albums such as I_CON (2013) and O (2016) established them internationally, with support slots for Muse and the Rolling Stones underlining their reach. Their theatrical live shows fuse rock, funk and electronics into a sound that resists easy categorisation. September 2026 saw the release of their seventh studio album DE STAAT, paired with an ambitious audiovisual live concept.
