About the bands:

TSCHAIKA 21/16 (Berlin, Noisolution)

Loud & tight, somewhere between Math, Noise & Stoner Rock, peculiar to say the last! This trio is perhaps only explainable by the three musicians themselves. Onkel, percussion-freak at home on all stages, from the chart-topping German popper to the “techno marching band” Meute, everything is possible with him. Tim, the self-taught guitarist and music authist, also known for playing guitar in the stoner institution Rotor. And the third member of the group, Sören, a trained trumpeter just as used to the large halls as to squats and alternative clubs. For them you must train your neck!

SUNFLOWERS (Porto, Fuzz Club Records)

Make noise as a language of survival since 2014. Their sound blends blistering punk energy

with layers of distortion, experimental chaos, and existential release, teetering between catharsis and collapse.

The band recently released “You Have Fallen... Congratulations!”, its fifth full-length album, the first one through UK-based Fuzz Club Records. A jagged, blown-out descent into psychological freefall, where the band refines their chaotic signature, while letting go of structure altogether. 

Sunflowers are not here to comfort you. They are here to rip the floor out from under you.

ARCANE ALLIES (Bielefeld, Echodelic Records / Dirty Filth Records)

Minimalist krautrock trio whose hypnotic sound is continuously evolving: somewhere between spherical, repetitive, and energetic. Their performances are intense, trance-inducing journeys – blending krauty grooves, spaced-out synths, and free improvisation. Over 300 shows between Europe, UK, USA and more, three studio albums and a split release with fellow psych band Kombynat Robotron. In 2026 they’ll celebrate 10 years of endless trips!

L’IRA DEL BACCANO (Rome, Subsound Records)

Doomedelic 4 piece that has been around for almost 20 years. Their live shows are soaked with strong and psychedelic sounds layers and a love for improvisation. Celebrating the release of a brand new LP with a European tour, expect endless tracks in constant motion and evolution.

TRIPTONUS (Vienna, StoneFree Records)

6 piece instrumental collective from Austria, their progressive rock finds roots in jazz, trip hop & heavy music. By featuring instruments as electronic wave drum, African djembe and Didgeridoo, they ensure the creation of deep, cosmic and hypnotic rhythmic structures, filling their tunes with cathartic and mystical moments. Their latest album “Terra” recently dropped and the band is ready to present it in Berlin for the first time.

IRA FUNESTA (Berlin)

Post-metal band formed in 2023, their sound lives somewhere between sludge and catharsis, a blend of slow, crushing heaviness and sudden, chaotic outbursts. It’s noisy, melancholic, and raging all at once, creating space for deep introspection between sadness, anger, and ultimate release. Ira Funesta crafts music that feels both visceral and transcendent, a raw emotional journey through light and darkness.

PROBABLY NANCY (Berlin)

Berlin-based ClitRock band, their songs are inspired by the lovely Berliner discomfort with their shitty friends, murderers, donkey lovers, stinky 24h bars, addictions and kartoffensalat…

DELIRIÔ (Berlin)

Andalusian-Rock band existing between post-rock, progressive-rock, folklore and the sweaty call of Flamenco. Their music deals with conflict, identity and the search for freedom, in December 2025 their debut-album drops, “alfawwára”. DELIRIÔ is the necessity, a refuge, not knowing where the steps are leading, but having very clear where they come from.

WHISKER (Berlin, Brainbowl Records)

Hyperactive musical opera progressive rock. Within the valleys where the branches have not yet produced new leaves, small streams of ice gather and gather, they flow quietly, but, through the crevices of stones and rocks, there is a slight change in flow. And the journey of these streams can be observed as they flow with a force that seems gentle but never ceases. Let me tell you, they are notes of quiet beauty.

LION’S SKULLS (Berlin)

Drenched in a dark stoner rock atmosphere, their sound slowly unfolds and propels itself forward with powerful doom rhythms. Riff after riff the voice of vocalist Nira haunts you down and serves you the honey coming from the nebular skies!

SECTOR 7G (Berlin)

The extra boost of the BLUES BUMPS series! By fusing cutting-edge techniques with vintage-inspired visuals, this visual collective pushes concerts way beyond the boundaries of sound.
