On 20 November 2025, Norwegian prog visionaries Leprous brought their almost-wrapped up European Tour to Antwerp.

One of the evening’s standout moments was the band’s performance of their newly released a-ha cover, “Take On Me.” The track, recorded earlier in the year during their North American tour, originated from their appearance on Musora’s On the Spot series—where artists are challenged to learn and record a cover song blindly, within just a few hours. The Leprous rendition quickly became a fan favorite and was later released as a digital single, making its live performance a particularly special treat.

Fans were highly interactive throughout the night, with one audience member loudly requesting “White”—a deep-cut favorite. The band, however, kept to their planned setlist and did not include the song.

The evening’s support came from Gåte, whose Nordic folk rock energy set an atmospheric tone for the night. Unfortunately, many attendees—including us—missed the promising Finnish opening act Royal Sorrow, due to exceptional heavy traffic that reportedly caused delays of up to two hours.
