In 2024, their sixth album Het langste jaar was released, which, alongside its predecessor Skepels, also caused a breakthrough in the Netherlands. De Volkskrant gave the album four stars, and their club tour resulted in sold-out venues in Amsterdam and Utrecht.

With classics like Ploegsteert, Naar De Wuppe, and Tid Van Ton, and albums such as Nie Voe Kinders and Calais, the band around Wannes Cappelle has firmly anchored itself in the music landscape. In Even tussen ons, they present a rich selection from the oeuvre of Het Zesde Metaal, in an intimate setting where music and stories come together.

A theatre concert by Het Zesde Metaal is more than just music. Wannes Cappelle not only sings his songs in all their purity but also takes you along with juicy stories and reflections. His past as a cabaret artist – he won the press and audience award at the Belgian Humorologie Concours in 2002 – seeps through in his performances.
