The Free Label perform at BIRD in Rotterdam on 10 June 2026.

The Free Label is a six piece collective from Toronto with a clear focus on funk, soul, and groove. The band is known for tight live shows, rich arrangements, and strong musical chemistry. Their sound moves between modern funk and warm soul, with space for improvisation and dynamics.

They previously toured Europe as a support act for Incognito and MonoNeon, and appeared at festivals such as Mariposa Folk Festival, Canadian Music Week, and Oakland Jazz Festival. On their second album, The Free Label collaborated with Braxton Cook, an artist who has also performed at BIRD before.

For fans of Vulfpeck, Khruangbin, Durand Jones & The Indications, and MonoNeon, this show connects straight away.

Expect an evening driven by groove, musicianship, and live energy, right at home at BIRD.

Support Act Syot

Inspired by Motown and the organic sound of '70s soul, but with the modern production of

contemporary artists like Steve Lacy and Mk.gee. Heavenly falsettos, organic analogue

synthesizers and Prince-inspired guitar tones. In their lyrics you will find their support for all

the hopeless romantics among us. Maybe with a toxic edge?
