Honey I’m Home
These Dutch newcomers merge alternative 90s rock with a fresh modern twist. From intimate moments to explosive climaxes, their live performances are full of dynamic range. With their unique blend of shoegaze, indie and emo, echoes of Smashing Pumpkins, Slow Pulp and My Bloody Valentine are resonating through.
Silver Lake
The Hague’s indie duo Silver Lake returns with nocturnal, melancholic art-pop. After a year of writing and recording, they offer a nuanced sound that blurs indie and ’60s-inspired folk-pop. Marleen Hoebe’s intimate vocals explore life’s tender moments while Jesse Koch’s lush arrangements expand their sonic world. With singles like Put Me Under, Beaches, and Don’t You Waste Our Time, Silver Lake has captured Dutch radio attention and supported artists including Rufus Wainwright and Son Mieux.
Automatic
Balancing irreverence with sharp commentary, L.A. band Automatic serves perky grooves and pop melodies with a dark sense of humor and a renewed sense of momentum. Izzy Glaudini (synths, vocals) and Halle Saxon (bass, vocals) believe messages of change land best with a backbeat and a cheeky groove - and on their new album Is It Now?, they ask us to confront the world’s oppressive structures with fresh urgency.
L.A. Sagne
L.A. SAGNE explodes on stage. Brimming, screaming, loving, and making everything move. Four friends? Maybe, but don’t think of them as a polite biography entry. You hear their bond in every punchy riff, every anarchic drumbeat. Since 2025, they’ve conquered Noorderslag, Best Kept Secret, Paaspop, and more, with tours alongside Girls To The Front and Ploegendienst. Their debut album drops April 2026, but for now, singles like I’m A Girl and I Paint Walls smash expectations. Melodic punk anthems, dystopian guitars, and roaring energy.
Snackbar
Formed in Amsterdam, Snackbar delivers a fatal dose of feminist hard rock with screaming organs, cutting guitars and compelling punk rhythms. The goal: claiming more space for women and other marginalized groups. The means: loud, direct, Dutch noise. The result: a chaotic explosion of feminist punk and 70s hard rock.
Kevin
Kevin de Gier a.k.a. Slowflowanimal (1994) has his own unique style of making music. As his alias reveals, he does everything at his own pace. The Rotterdam-born and raised rapper of Dutch/British descent raps primarily in a narrative style. He paints a picture with words of how he sees the life around him and of what he experiences himself.
High Vis
Since 2018, High Vis has polished their progressive hardcore sound with shades of post-punk, Britpop, neo-psychedelia, and even Madchester groove, mapping a middle ground between hooks and fury, melodies and mosh pits. From swaggering street punk to jangling indie sneer to heavy alt to shoegazey spoken word, the group’s chemistry transmutes any style to their unique intensity.
Blair Davie
This Scottish singer-songwriter is one of the UK’s most compelling, emerging talents. With his rare voice and songwriting that blends intimacy and emotional honesty, Blair Davie explores different themes. Drawing deeply from personal experiences and the stories of others who deserve to be heard, fans of Alex Warren, Dermot Kennedy and Tom Odell shouldn’t miss this one!
VALS ALARM
With their genre-blurring songwriting and pure chaos on stage, VALS ALARM tears up the rulebook. The Dutch band is a riot of energy, catharsis and joyful disorder, which leaves you breathless and wanting more. On their collaboration with BUBU (Boaz from Goldband) you hear country influences clashing with synths and noise which sounds like nothing else in today’s scene, but is unmistakably theirs.
Fit
Utrecht’s own Fit delivers a high-voltage cocktail of post-punk grit, shoegaze haze, and hip-hop swagger. With every performance, they craft a one-of-a-kind sonic experience, igniting the stage with infectious energy that sweeps the crowd into a wild, unstoppable frenzy. Expect nothing less than a show where boundaries blur and the music takes over
