A SPLIT-SECOND (BE)
Hallelujah! Praise Buddha, Shiva and Osiris – One of the best live bands in the EBM-scene is back at Bodyfest. We almost think of them as our house band even though it was in 2014 they last perfomed with us the last time. A hard-hitting and energetic show combined with tons of great hit songs is what we can promise to those who didn’t see the show in 2014. Be sure not to miss “Flesh”, “Mambo Witch”, “On Command”, “Rigor Mortis” together with hypnotic live versions of “The Colloseum Crash” and “Colonial Discharge”. This will be a gig to remember….again.

HAUJOBB (DE)
Since the early 1990s, Haujobb has marked a decisive turning point in the European electronic music scene. While many contemporary projects were still strongly rooted in the conventions of EBM and industrial music, the band significantly broadened its sound spectrum, with more complex song structures, atmospheric textures and increasing emotional ambivalence coming to the fore. Their first album, Homes &
Gardens, seemed like a controlled break with expectations – cool, reflective and yet surprisingly accessible.
In the years that followed, Haujobb consistently developed this openness further. Albums such as Solutions for a Small Planet, Ninetine and Polarity showed a band that understood electronic music not as a style, but as a field of research. Digital harshness met fragile melodies, precise programming met human uncertainty. Haujobb also made a name for themselves internationally as an intense live band, through extensive US tours with Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly.
After phases of reorientation and personnel changes, the artistic core remained the same: the desire to use electronic music as a mirror of inner and social states. This attitude ultimately culminated in the album The Machine in the Ghost. This album thus not only marks the provisional end of a long line of
development, but also functions as the concentrated essence of what Haujobb has stood for since Homes & Gardens: electronic music as a thinking organism that is constantly changing without losing its identity.

The Brides of the Black Room (SE)
The Brides of the Black Room are back once again at Bodyfest. With the fantastic debut album "Blood & Fire" from 2021 they told their story through their weird and beautiful videos. From the prologue of "Ambulance" to the season finale in "Watch me Burn" we went for a ride together with the first seasons three main characters. Their first official show was at Bodyfest 2023 and now they will also do their second official gig at Bodyfest. Strengthened by their equally great second album “Commander”, released last fall and still with the ever so cool front woman, Lea Alazam, who is leading the troops towards new exciting adventures. Be prepared to see a spectacular show together with amazing songs.

Oldschool Union (FI)
Welcome back Oldschool Union. Everybody knows by now that the Finnish language fits perfectly with the raw basslines and aggressive music that comes from these heavy weighters of old school EBM. It’s been 14 long years since they melted our hearts with their fantastic tribute song “Bodyfest” and instantly where given a spot at our 2012 festival. Since then they have released three more albums where the latest one “Herra Ja Hidalgo” came last year. Continuing on this winning concept musically we were also blessed with a tribute song to Sweden where fellow EBM:ers SPARK! are mentioned and once again making it easy for us to welcome Oldschool Union back to Stockholm.

Promenade Cinema (UK)
Promenade Cinema create cinematic synthpop with dark allure and melodic intensity. Lush synths and compelling vocals build songs that stay with you long after they end. Their music draws you into a world of shadow and splendor, where emotion and atmosphere take center stage. Following the popularity of their recent singles Play With Fate and Under Review - new album AFTERLIFE cements Promenade Cinema’s reputation as one of the UK’s most distinctive electronic duos.
On stage, Promenade Cinema have built a reputation for immersive performances across Europe, appearing at festivals including Infest (UK), ElectriXmas (Sweden), Resistanz (UK), Fame Festival (Poland), and NCN Festival (Germany). Recently toured with Kite in the UK.
Refined, evocative, and unforgettable.

Aktion : Fiasko (DE)
Aktion : Fiasko is an electropunk duo from Berlin & Erfurt, which began in late 2019 with producer Sebastian Schleinitz (Full Contact69, Proleturan, etc) and frontwoman Franzi Berlina. With female vocals and socially critical lyrics, both of which are quite underrepresented in the darker electro scene, Aktion : Fiasko is intended to strike precisely this missing nerve. Since 2022, the duo has already shown in various clubs and festivals how electronic punk with cheeky feminine Berlin attitude presents itself on stage. We are extremely glad to welcome Aktion : Fiasko to Bodyfest 2026 for their first show in Sweden.
