On Wednesday, February 24, Clock DVA is coming to Nieuwe Nor in Heerlen! These British pioneers of experimental electronic music have been pushing the boundaries of their genre for almost fifty years. Following previous performances in Heerlen, the influential act finally returns for another extraordinary live show.

Clock DVA was formed in Sheffield in 1978 around frontman and creative visionary Adi Newton. From the very beginning, the band explored the boundaries between electronic music, acoustic instruments and experimental sound techniques. Drawing inspiration from German electronic pioneers, musique concrète and the raw energy of The Stooges, Clock DVA developed a distinctive sound that defies easy categorisation.
Their music moves between post-punk, industrial, EBM and electro. Their debut album was released on Industrial Records, the influential record label founded by Throbbing Gristle. This quickly established Clock DVA as an important name in the British underground music scene.
Since then, the band has continued to reinvent itself. Different line-ups and musical directions have resulted in an impressive discography, ranging from the minimalist industrial jazz of ‘Thirst’ to the groundbreaking ‘Buried Dreams’. Meanwhile, Adi Newton remained active in a variety of experimental side projects, constantly expanding his artistic horizons.
In 2023, Clock DVA released ‘Noesis’, an album created by Newton together with TeZ (Maurizio Martinucci), who has been part of the band since 2011. Today, the duo forms the core of Clock DVA, continuing to embrace the experimental spirit that defines their music.
Clock DVA also delivers a truly extraordinary live experience. Their performances are intense, dark and hypnotic, combining music and visual art into a powerful audiovisual spectacle. With driving electronic rhythms, otherworldly soundscapes and an uncompromising artistic vision, the band draws you into its fascinating sonic universe.
