FOALS Brand Collaborating Artist: NEEVE

NEEVE is an independent rock band from Germany formed by two brothers who have been making music together since their teenage years. Their sound is defined by memorable melodies, emotionally direct songwriting, and lyrics that reflect experiences many people face in everyday life — relationships, anxiety, self-doubt, growing up, and learning how to move forward.

Rather than focusing on abstraction, NEEVE creates music that feels personal, honest, and relatable. Their songs connect with listeners through clarity, vulnerability, and the kind of emotions that are often difficult to put into words.

During the tour, the band performed using the Foals FJG7, FS9, and FPB6 guitars, alongside KingKong Series Gig Bags and both the Embroidered and “Golden Horse” guitar straps — gear chosen to support the band’s live performances both on stage and throughout travel.

In July 2025, NEEVE completed their first headline show in Shanghai, marking the band’s first live performance in China and creating a direct connection between the band and Chinese audiences for the first time.

But the relationship between NEEVE and their Chinese listeners had already started long before the tour. After the band shared online that they hoped to perform in China someday, the message gradually spread among young Chinese fans and sparked conversations across social media.

That is also why the tour theme, “That Is How I Survive,” became more than just a slogan. It became a reflection of the connection formed between the band and their audience through sharing, communication, and mutual understanding.

For many people, whether or not they usually listen to rock music, a live NEEVE show represents something beyond genre — a space for emotional release, resonance, and shared experience.
