The Divine Comedy in VEGA
Throughout his 36-year long career, Neil Hannon, the driving force behind The Divine Comedy, has released uncompromising, intelligent lyrics that match his quirky chamber pop compositions without any hesitation.
Fans can now rejoice that the thirteenth album of his solo project is just around the corner. In September, the pop master is back with a new album, Rainy Sunday Afternoon. He will be taking that and Hannon’s entire impressive back catalogue with him on his 2026 tour, where Lille VEGA on. March 22 will be the setting for another one of The Divine Comedy’s legendary concerts.
With its contrasting chamber pop, which English music critics have associated with The Cure, Morrissey and Blur, The Divine Comedy has gathered an impressive fan base.
Danish reviewers have showered Hannon’s Danish concerts with stars. The last time Neil Hannon filled Lille VEGA was in 2017. The paper Information sent Klaus Lynggaard to rewiew the concert and he described it as “superb”. In his review, Lynggaard explains why one of Britain’s most recognized songwriters – despite worldwide popularity – is perfect in Lille VEGA’s smaller concert hall: “This is certainly due to the excessively high quality and excessive intelligence that Neil Hannon insists on displaying, both lyrically and musically, but it was paradoxically the audience’s luck, because the intimacy and the whole atmosphere of celebration that characterized the event this Tuesday evening would certainly have been lost in a larger venue. Simply divine, dear.”
Nye guddommelige sange fra The Divine Comedy i VEGA
Neil Hannon, der er drivkraften bag The Divine Comedy, har gennem sin 36-årige lange karriere udgivet kompromisløse, intelligente sangtekster, der uden slinger i valsen matcher hans finurlige chamberpop-kompositioner. Og nu kan fans glæde sig over, at soloprojektets trettende album er lige på trapperne.
For til september er popmesteren tilbage med et nyt album, Rainy Sunday Afternoon. Dét og hele Hannons imponerende bagkatalog tager han med på sin 2026-tour, hvor Lille VEGA den. 22 marts danner rammer for endnu en af The Divine Comedys legendariske koncerter.
Med sin kontrastfylde kammerpop, som af engelske musikkritikere er blevet associeret med The Cure, Morrissey og Blur, har The Divine Comedy samlet sig en imponerede fanskare. Og de danske anmeldere har ladet stjernerne regne ned over Hannons danske koncerter.
Sidst Neil Hannon blæste Lille VEGA fuld af velorkestreret popmusik var i 2017. Her havde Dagbladet Information sendt Klaus Lynggaard, der beskrev koncerten som “suveræn”.
I sin anmeldelse forklarer Lynggaard, hvorfor at en af Storbritanniens mest anerkendte sangskrivere – på trods af verdensomspændende popularitet – er perfekt i netop Lille VEGAs mindre koncertrum:
“Det skyldes givetvis den alt for høje kvalitet og overdrevne intelligens, Neil Hannon insisterer at lægge for dagen, tekstligt som musikalsk, men det var så paradoksalt nok publikums held, for den intimitet og hele stemning af fest, der prægede foretagendet denne tirsdag aften, ville givetvis være gået tabt på en større venue. Simply divine, dear.”
