GLINTS
Belgian prodigy Glints blends opera and rap for an explosive show at Dour on July 20th!
A Belgian artist from a world where opera was predominant, Glints started out as a young chorister before being drawn into the sharp rhythms of rap. This singular musical heritage has allowed him to create an incomparable style: a masterful fusion of the grandiosity of opera and the raw intensity of hip-hop. Combined with his natural British accent, the result of his family roots and numerous stays in London, his flow is chiseled and unique.
Already a key figure on the Belgian scene, Glints made a name for himself with his debut album Choirboy in 2020, taking his audience on a journey into a universe as majestic as it is untamed. With tracks like Bugatti, Gold Veins, and Lemonade Money, he set fire to sold-out venues at Ancienne Belgique and De Roma. Now, he’s back with an even bolder project: THE DARK! A dark and visceral album, designed for the stage, ready to explode on the Dour battlefield.
Armed by sharp beats, lyrical choirs, and explosive featurings (including So Sorry with Blu Samu), Glints defies the codes and propels hip-hop into unexplored spheres. Each performance is a sonic mass, a collective trance where rage, emotion, and musical catharsis collide.
Get ready: Glints is coming with his unique sounds and pure energy, leaving no one indifferent. Join us on July 20th for what promises to be one of the highlights of the festival!
