Antony Szmierek

Antony Szmierek might just be the most sincere artist of the moment. His honest music is, as he puts it, "sincerity on overdrive – a space where people can truly connect." Festivals like Into The Great Wide Open have already been introduced to this poet, writer and producer from Manchester. His breakthrough came in 2023 with the single ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Fallacy’. Over a strong beat and club-ready synths, he shares a stream of thoughts about vulnerability and escape. In 2025, he adds to his repertoire with the debut album ‘Service Station At The End Of The Universe’. On it, you’ll hear his signature mix of spoken word over dance music, played with an indie band sound — as he describes it himself. That style makes it easy to mention him in the same breath as The Streets. In the summer of 2026, Antony Szmierek brings his intense, intimate show to Amsterdam!
