In 2008 Moke made their first appearance on Pinkpop's mainstage. In the final song the band were joined by a string quartet. ... 2 years later, Moke return to the very same stage, but this time with a 50-piece orchestra: The Metropole Orchestra!


Moke with an orchestra, it's proven to be a good choice for the sound of the band on the second album "The Long & Dangerous Sea ". This hasn't gone unnoticed by the famous Dutch orchestra, hence the request that followed for Moke and The Metropole Orchestra, conducted by Jules Buckley to do a recording session together. It will result in an album which will appear later this year, but the very first live session will be at Pinkpop 2010. A special performance indeed, because never before in the history of this famous Dutch festival has a band shared the stage with an entire orchestra.
