EKKO presents: The Grand East

The Grand East is a band that defies easy categorization. With roots firmly planted in the ’60s and ’70s, they refuse to be boxed in. Armed with a fresh sound, new hairstyles, and a revamped lineup, they’ve returned to the studio after three years to experiment and push boundaries. Expect catchy tunes, guilty pleasures, and unexpected influences seamlessly woven together. Their high-energy live shows—packed with mosh pits and sweaty dance floors—pull you into a whirlwind of rock ’n’ roll, led by frontman Arthur Akkermans. Their sound flirts with psychedelic vibes reminiscent of King Gizzard, while staying deeply rooted in classic rock traditions.
