VNV Nation in Hamburg

VNV Nation is an Irish electronic-music project founded in London in 1990 by Ronan Harris. Its music draws on futurepop, EBM, synth-pop and trance, and the project is known for albums including Empires, Futureperfect and Automatic, as well as songs such as “Standing,” “Beloved,” “Illusion” and “Nova.” In 2015, VNV Nation presented the orchestral Resonance program at the Royal Albert Hall, recasting material from its catalogue for voice and symphony orchestra. The Noire tour followed in 2018, and the project mounted the Electric Sun tour in 2023. Headline concerts center on Ronan Harris singing over electronic arrangements, accompanied by a live drummer. VNV Nation plays clubs and theatres: Markthalle Hamburg has hosted the project, while Los Angeles dates have included The Belasco.
