BLOED
Bloed is the brainchild of siblings. Though they only began writing together in 2022, their chemistry was instant, quickly forging a distinct sound and identity. Their rapid ascent earned them a spot and ultimately victory in the 2023 edition of Sound Track, the prestigious music competition organized by vi.be. Pushing the boundaries of their sound, Bloed is a force that demands to be experienced live. Energetic, loud, and unapologetically bold, their music is a unifying pulse.
Jonna Fraser
Armed with his soulful vocal sound, the heart of a lion and a wide smile, Jonna hit the Dutch charts in 2015 as one of the members of hip-hop collective New Wave. After filling arenas, he’s hitting our stage with his biggest hits (Do Or Die, Ik Kom Bij Je, My Love and many more), ready to transform Ketelhuisplein into one big, unforgettable high-energy party.
Wrong Man
Wrong Man is a band that refuses to fit into a single mold. Blending soulful post-hardcore with bluesy moods, noisy edges, and melodic twists, their sound recalls the spirit of Quicksand, The Jesus Lizard, Sonic Youth, and The Wipers, yet feels entirely their own. Born from previous projects like Oathbreaker, Partisan, and Rise And Fall, Wrong Man has evolved with each release, from their ‘90s-inspired debut Who Are You? to the dynamic, contrasting sounds of Big Plans. Their upcoming debut full-length promises to push boundaries even further.
Ceebo
Raised in South London, this UK rapper knows how to blend cinematic production with lyrics that cut straight to the bone. Drawing from a wide palette of influences from Kendrick Lamar to J Hus, Ceebo crafts genre-fluid soundscapes that weave together elements of rap, R&B, afroswing and drill, all anchored by storytelling that feels both personal and generational.
Supermarkt
Supermarkt is a five-piece Noise rock band, hailing from the heart of Amsterdam. Their sound is raw, relentless, and unapologetically real. Think improvisation-fueled experimental punk, spiked with noise, Anatolian rock, no wave, and a hint of tinnitus. Their lyrics spin tales that are absurd, obscene, and utterly senseless. Just the way they like it.
LeBlanc
LeBlanc represents a new wave of Dutch-speaking artists from Brussels, fusing rap, punk, and electronic sounds into bold, unpredictable sonic collisions. His music is a rallying cry for anyone eager to unleash pure, unfiltered energy. In 2024, he unveiled his debut album, Nog Steeds Op Een Zoektocht, a fearless blend of rap and thundering electronic beats spanning DnB to hardcore. The record provides an introspective window into LeBlanc’s world, navigating the chaos of modern life. Sonically, he straddles the line between Joost and Zwangere Guy, with a dash of Prodigy’s bite to keep things sharp.
Greg Freeman
Greg Freeman delivers a live set where past and present collide in a blaze of urgency. The Maryland-born, Vermont-based songwriter excavates the eccentric ugliness of American history, transforming it into character-driven songs filled with violence, loss, revelation, and hard-won clarity. On his explosive sophomore album Burnover Freeman fuses high-voltage indie rock with a restless twang. Inspired by the myth-soaked Northeast and writers like Emily Dickinson, these songs hum with danger and possibility around every corner.
Gallamesh
Rising from the gritty underbelly of Amsterdam, Gallamesh is a relentless metalcore force forged in sweat, volume, and raw emotion. Drawing inspiration from hardcore punk and modern death metal, the band fuses crushing groove with razor-sharp intensity. Think the bone-shattering riffs of Chimaira, the commanding vocal power of Lamb of God, and the earth-splitting chugs of Kublai Khan TX. Gallamesh delivers high-energy performances that hit like a freight train: massive breakdowns, pounding rhythms, and a stage presence that leaves nothing standing. Their sound balances brute-force metalcore with introspective, hard-hitting lyrics.
Typhoon
This Dutch hip-hop musician gives a close look into his heart and soul with honest and vulnerable lyrics. As a celebration of being human, he always contains the message that we are enough: we are love. Through his colorful, energetic, and poetic stories, Typhoon takes you into the conversation taking place in society and shines his light on it. Never finger-pointing, but always connected.
Badminton
Born in the attic bedroom of a young boy with an electric guitar, what started as a careful breeze grew into a full-blown alt-rock/garage thunderstorm with a wink to the 90s. Frontman Luca de la Haye joined forces with a soul-baring drummer, a laid-back guitar nerd with a passion for noise, and a powerhouse bassist to complete the spark. Within a year, the four-piece crashed into the Dutch alternative scene, turning twenty-something chaos into catchy, high-energy rock songs about love, self-discovery, and growing up.
