Novastar's train continues to rumble on. Joost Zweegers and band just finished a completely sold-out tour in February and it was so well received that the demand for more shows can't be kept up. So two concerts are being added to the live story including Sept. 13 in AB!Don't call 'The Best Is Yet To Come' a best off record, because Joost Zweegers doesn't like that. 'Be great or be gone' is the slogan that has hung over his piano for many years. The slogan that ensures that Novastar is even now more relevant than ever and that this songwriter continues to deliver pearls. But companions Mikey Rowe & Andrew Britton were able to convince him to put a collection of his most beloved songs in a new format. The record also had to have a live-feel, and thanks to pianist Mikey Rowe (Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds), guitarist Andy Britton (Top Gear soundtracks), guitarist Skin Tyson (Robert Plant), drummer Keith Prior (David Gray) and bassist Erik Rademakers (Selah Sue), he succeeded. Together with this band, Joost dove into the famous "Studio 2" of the Abbey Road Studios, the exact same place where his great heroes The Beatles recorded their greatest successes, to put the crowning glory on these recording sessions.Novastar at Abbey Road. Coming full circle.Along with the album "The Best Is Yet To Come," Joost also wants to do what he lives for: stand on a stage. He overwhelmed audiences and press with the mini-tour in February (Antwerp, Ostend and Amsterdam) and since then there is only one question: will there be more concerts? You don't have to keep asking Joost that, so he's adding two exclusive shows to the live leg of 'The Best Is Yet To Come'!

Le train de Novastar continue de rouler. Joost Zweegers et son groupe viennent de terminer une tournée à guichets fermés en février et celle-ci a été si bien accueillie que la demande de concerts supplémentaires ne peut être satisfaite. C'est pourquoi deux concerts ont été ajoutés à l'histoire, dont le 13 septembre à l'AB !N'appelez pas "The Best Is Yet To Come" un disque de fin de carrière, car Joost Zweegers n'aime pas cela. Be great or be gone" est le slogan qui plane sur son piano depuis de nombreuses années. Un slogan qui permet à Novastar d'être plus que jamais d'actualité et à ce songwriter de continuer à livrer des perles. Mais les compagnons Mikey Rowe et Andrew Britton ont réussi à le convaincre de présenter une collection de ses chansons les plus appréciées sous un nouveau format. Le disque avait également besoin d'une touche live, et grâce au pianiste Mikey Rowe (High Flying Birds de Noel Gallagher), au guitariste Andy Britton (Top Gear soundtracks), au guitariste Skin Tyson (Robert Plant), au batteur Keith Prior (David Gray) et au bassiste Erik Rademakers (Selah Sue), il y est parvenu. Avec ce groupe, Joost a plongé dans le célèbre "Studio 2" des studios Abbey Road, à l'endroit même où ses grands héros, les Beatles, ont enregistré leurs plus grands succès, pour mettre un point d'orgue à ces sessions d'enregistrement.Novastar à Abbey Road. La boucle est bouclée.En plus de l'album 'The Best Is Yet To Come', Joost veut aussi faire ce pour quoi il vit : monter sur scène. La mini-tournée qu'il a effectuée en février (Anvers, Ostende et Amsterdam) a subjugué le public et la presse et, depuis, une seule question se pose : y aura-t-il d'autres concerts ? Joost ajoute deux concerts exclusifs à la partie live de "The Best Is Yet To Come" !

De trein van Novastar blijft voort denderen. Joost Zweegers en band hebben er net een compleet uitverkochte tournee in februari op zitten en die werd zo goed onthaald dat de vraag naar meer shows niet bij te houden is. Dus er worden twee concerten toegevoegd aan het live-verhaal waaronder 13 september in AB!Noem ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’ geen best off-plaat, want daar houdt Joost Zweegers niet van. ‘Be great or be gone’ is de slogan die al vele jaren boven zijn piano hangt. De slagzin die ervoor zorgt dat Novastar ook nu nog relevanter dan ooit is en die ervoor zorgt dat deze songwriter blijft parels afleveren. Maar kompanen Mikey Rowe & Andrew Britton konden hem overtuigen om een verzameling van zijn meest geliefde nummers in een nieuw jasje te steken. De plaat moest eveneens een live-feel krijgen, en dankzij pianist Mikey Rowe (Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds), gitarist Andy Britton (Top Gear soundtracks), gitarist Skin Tyson (Robert Plant), drummer Keith Prior (David Gray) en bassist Erik Rademakers (Selah Sue) lukte dat. Samen met deze band dook Joost de befaamde “Studio 2” van de Abbey Road Studios in, op exact dezelfde plaats waar zijn grote helden The Beatles hun grootste successen hebben opgenomen, om de kroon op deze recording sessions te zetten.Novastar in Abbey Road. De cirkel is rond. Samen met de plaat ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’ wil Joost ook hetgene doen waar hij voor leeft: op een podium staan. Hij overdonderde publiek en pers met de minitournee in februari (Antwerpen, Oostende en Amsterdam) en sindsdien is er maar één vraag: komen er nog concerten bij? Dat hoef je Joost niet te blijven vragen, dus hij voegt twee exlusieve shows toe aan het live-luik van ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’!
