This experimental folk band, founded over 20 years ago, is the result of a creative partnership between guitar virtuoso Pieter Thys and the multi-talented Vanvinckenroye brothers: Rein, Edwin, and Joris.
Troissoeur began with roots in folk, classical, and world music. But it didn’t take long for them to forge their own path, creating a fresh genre they call acoustic ambient pop.
Known for their electrifying stage presence, theatrical flair and rebellious spirit, Troissoeur has built a reputation as a must-see live act. They’ve performed on some of the world’s most prestigious stages and released albums under the EMI label.
After taking a break in 2007, the band is back together, more inventive than ever. Today, they invite you to explore their latest project: Vinistan.
Vinistan is a mysterious archipelago that Troissoeur stumbled upon by chance. Intrigued by its people and their culture, the band tells their stories through music. Singing in Vinees, the island’s unique language, they bring to life the everyday moments, traditions and love story of two locals, Heitir and Steindei.

A concert at Matthieu’s
Matthieu loves to sing. He has taken part in musicals and amateur choirs. For him, musical curiosity is a way of life. He doesn’t hesitate to attend concerts by artists he’s only heard one song from—artists he says have “captured” him. Matthieu enjoys traveling and discovering music from around the world… even if he doesn’t understand the lyrics when they’re sung.
