PJ Harvey

In August 2017, PJ Harvey delivered a stunning performance of "Down by the Water" at Pukkelpop, right after the release of her critically acclaimed album "The Hope Six Demolition Project" in 2016. This album marked a significant return for Harvey, showcasing her unique blend of raw emotion and storytelling, drawing inspiration from her experiences during travels in the Balkans and the U.S. It's fascinating to note that Harvey's style evolved throughout her career—from the grunge-infused sound of her early work to this more experimental, politically charged phase. At Pukkelpop, fans got to witness not just her impeccable vocal range but also her ability to connect deeply with the audience, something that's always been a hallmark of her performances. The energy at the festival was palpable, as Harvey's artistic vision continues to resonate with listeners around the world.
