a Liquid Landscape + Support

The basis for the band was formed in 1999 by the brothers Niels and Robert van Dam, and Fons Herder. After working under different names and with different drummers, Coen Speelman joined in 2007 and eventually the name A Liquid Landscape was adopted in 2009. The band self released their debut EP ‘Long Lost Traveler’ that same year, which had enough success for them to sign to Glassville Records.

Between 2012 and 2016 they released two full length albums ‘Nightingale Express'(2012),
‘The Largest Fire Known To Man’ (2014) and the EP ‘Stories Left Untold’ (2016). The band also performed live a lot both in the Netherlands and abroad supporting bands like Anathema, Karnivool, Soen, Thrice, Riverside, Marillion, Crippled Black Phoenix and many more.

However, after years of spending a lot of time on music, other parts of life started happening too. And when Covid hit, everything came to a full stop. The band kept working on new music in silence and when it was done and they started playing it live in a room one thing was clear: this band is not done yet…

After a hiatus spanning the better part of a decade A Liquid Landscape are back with new music Their third full length album is titled Rogue Planet and is set to be released on Glassville Records on May 28th 2026 Musically it is a continuation of the art rock mix the band is known for however Rogue Planet leans heavier into the alternative rock sound of the late nineties and early zeroes.

The album’s title draws from the astronomical phenomenon of a “rogue planet”, a celestial body drifting freely, unbound by orbit. This concept serves as a powerful metaphor for the modern human condition.

“This Album Feels like a blend of post-grunge and the graceful, Pink Floyd-inspired side of progressive rock”- Dean Wolfe

“Rogue Planet is a musical embrace that’s hard to let go of” – ProgEtPlus

“This is like Pink-Floyd if they were a grunge band” – Scott Rich
