Michael Ekow & May
Michael Ekow is a versatile, boundary-pushing artist who effortlessly blends indie, pop, hip-hop, R&B, and house into a distinctive sound of his own. With poetic lyricism layered over infectious beats, he transforms raw emotion into immersive musical experiences. Of Ghanaian heritage and raised in Germany and England, Ekow now calls the Netherlands home. His multicultural background deeply informs both his sound and storytelling, drawing inspiration from a wide range of artists, including Rod Stewart and Florence Welch.
Future Husband
Nothing truly ends or begins inside Future Husband’s cinematic synthesis of synth-pop, neo-soul and indie rock. Their music acts almost like a portal between heaven and earth with some smooth-as-silk bass action to weld it all together. Built on friendship, they bring a raw and immersive energy to every performance.
PISS
Get ready for PISS; Vancouver’s boundary-shattering 4-piece punk powerhouse! Music, poetry, performance, and visual art collide in a riotous exploration of the personal and political. Drawing from philosophers, filmmakers, activists, children, and even German anarcho-feminist militants, PISS crafts punk that defies genre, confronts gender-based violence, and challenges societal norms. Without compromise, romanticization, or dogma. Expect relentless energy, thought-provoking chaos, and a vision of a safer, more daring underground. They’re amplifying voices, breaking rules, and turning the stage into a revolutionary canvas.
Lintworm
Lintworm arrive like a glitter-covered wrecking ball. Dealing in cheerful violence and colourful darkness, this Belgian quartet twists grindcore, powerviolence, noise and other invasive sounds into a frantic, all-consuming assault. Deliberately excessive and proudly allergic to subtlety. Behind the sonic abuse stand Belgium’s nicest boys, armed with hearts full of peace and love and a curious fascination for the absurd and uncomfortable. Lintworm thrive on contrast: cute and grotesque, playful and hostile, ridiculous yet genuinely intense. Their sound doesn’t creep in politely. It infects, overwhelms, and leaves everything louder, uglier, and strangely more alive. Extreme heavy music at its most unhinged, invasive and weirdly attractive.
Josylvio
Josylvio, a.k.a. Mr. Hella Cash, has been striding through the Dutch hip-hop scene for years. Driven by a raw street mentality and a razor-sharp style, the Dutch-Egyptian rapper released the hard-hitting Ma3seb in 2016. That proved to be just the beginning of a series of #1 albums. And that is not even mentioning the number of timeless hip-hop bangers: ‘Le7nesh’, ‘Westside’, ‘Ride or Die’, ‘Catch Up’, ‘Op Je Hoede’, ‘Oost West, Thuis Best’, and ‘Gimma’, to name just a few.
jet van der steen
Jet is no ‘slick pop star’. She comes across as someone who could be your girl next door, but one with a razor-sharp pen, a big heart, and a middle finger in her back pocket for anyone who underestimates her. She radiates something rebellious, authentic, and empathetic all at the same time. Her sound has developed strongly in recent years, mixing electronics with her distinctive pop sound.
MICHA
As one of the most promising upcoming talents of the Netherlands, MICHA managed to touch the hearts of many with his raw, powerful voice. After many sold out shows, festival gigs and receiving a ‘’Topsong’’ award on NPO Radio 2, he is ready to steal many hearts on our stage.
Jesse Hoefnagels
Jesse Hoefnagels proves why he’s one of the Netherlands’ most dynamic rising talents. Seamlessly blending music, video production and content creation, Jesse first captivated audiences through his headline-making YouTube series before carving out a powerful path as an artist. After a string of successful releases, Jesse continues to evolve his sound. His 2025 EP Wakker in het donker marks a bold new chapter: rawer, more honest and more personal than ever. Across five tracks — including Verlangen with Gotu Jim, Laten and Laatste nacht. He explores the space between alternative pop and melancholic club music, taking his first confident steps into a fresh, electronic-driven sound made to be experienced live. 2026 marks the year his music truly comes alive on stage.
Brik Tu-Tok
Moving as a phenomenon through the Belgian underground, musicians Linde Carrijn and Maxim Storms welcome you to their freaky, high-energy DIY universe. Their musical trip is a grotesque collage of catchy synth riffs, weird samples, raw old-school beats, and off-the-hook lyrics. Expect a high-energy party: a poetically disrupted catwalk, which will be bold and salty.
Glazyhaze
Influenced by shoegaze, dream pop and alternative sounds, this band from Venice ranges from dark atmospheres to dreamy soundscapes. Their debut album delves into the complexities of love, narrating a journey of self-discovery and emotional contrasts. Characterized by a personal sound and songwriting, they embrace bedroom pop, post-punk and art rock influences.
