Lola Amour, Shirebound, and over October Headline First Alt.Chestra Concert

Three major names in modern OPM are coming together for the first edition of Alt.chestra, a concert series that reimagines contemporary band music through orchestral arrangements.

Lola Amour, Shirebound, and Over October will headline Alt.chestra Vol. 1 on August 8, 2026 at the Music Museum.

The concert will present select songs from the artists’ catalogs in a new form, combining band performances with the sound, scale, and emotion of an orchestra.

Modern OPM Meets Orchestral Sound

Alt.chestra Vol. 1 is designed as an intimate performance showcase where familiar songs are given fuller, more cinematic arrangements.

The orchestral direction will be led by renowned musical director Ronald Tomas, who will help bring a new layer of depth to the music of the three acts.

For fans, the concert offers a different way to experience songs they may already know by heart.

Instead of a standard live set, Alt.chestra will place the artists’ music in a more expansive setting, highlighting melody, emotion, and storytelling through orchestral textures.

Three Acts, One Special Stage

Beyond their individual performances, Lola Amour, Shirebound, and Over October will also share the stage for a special collaborative number.

The rare joint performance is expected to be one of the highlights of the evening, giving fans an exclusive moment that can only happen in this first Alt.chestra edition.

Together, the three acts represent a generation of OPM artists that has built strong communities through live shows, streaming platforms, and festival performances.

Their combined reach has grown significantly over the years, with more than a billion Spotify streams across their music, along with awards, critical recognition, and major festival appearances.
