LINE-UP 🎵
▔▔▔▔
THE KIDS
The Kids are one of the true pioneers of Belgian punk. Formed in 1976, they delivered raw, fast, and honest rock ’n’ roll. With songs like "Fascist Cops" and "This Is Rock ’n’ Roll", they became a cult band both in Belgium and far beyond.
Now, 50 years later, The Kids remain a symbol of pure punk attitude. Their music still sounds fresh and sincere, and their live shows prove that punk has no age limit. Real rock ’n’ roll never dies!
PIZZATRAMP (UK)
There are punk bands… and then there’s PizzaTramp.
A three-piece two chord thrash punk crossover band from the hard streets of South Wales. Formed at the end of 2014, and specializing in one minute blasts of horrible punk noise.
Pizzatramp is punk the way it was meant to be — loud, fast, chaotic, and unforgettable.
MISE*EN*SCENE
Founded in 1996 as a straight-up punk band driven by raw energy and fast guitars, they evolved over the years into a full-blown party machine. 30 years later, their sound grew into an infectious mix of ska, punk, and feel-good chaos, packed with horns, singalong choruses, and plenty of humor!
SUMMERINTIBET
Ska-punk-reggae madness from Ghent. Serving an explosive cocktail of melodic yet heavy punkrock, danceable ska and reggae grooves with a surprising twist.
TWO FINGERS UP
A brand-new melodic punk band, though its members have already earned their stripes in bands like Funeral Dress and This Means War. Loud, fast, street-level punk rock for the disillusioned and the defiant. Boots-first energy and zero apologies. Debut record dropping this fall!
KILLED BY HIPPIES
Loud, fast, and dirty punk straight from the underground of Ghent. Right in your face, no apologies — full throttle, straight ahead.
NIXNUT
A new melodic hardcore band from Ghent. Straight from the heart — exactly how hardcore should be. This will be their very first show, be sure not to miss out on this!
