Formed in Nijmegen in 2006, De Staat, whose name translates to "The State" in English, is a Dutch alternative rock band that achieved significant recognition when they opened for Muse during their Drones World Tour in 2016. Initially started as a solo project by lead vocalist Torre Florim, the band eventually expanded as a result of Florim's efforts. The first demo, recorded in Florim's apartment in 2007, contributed to the project's evolution into a fully-fledged band, a transformation spurred on by the positive reception of their live performances in the Netherlands. The members of the band are: Torre Florim, Vedran Mircetic, Jop van Summeren, Rocco Hueting, Tim van Delft.
