Emma Hessels
Sometimes, all you need is a moment where everything falls still. A space where emotions run wild, hearts race, and a voice not quite of this world touches the deepest corners of your soul. Singer-songwriter Emma Hessels offers exactly that. Armed with nothing but her voice and guitar, Hessels walks a fine line between longing, love, and loneliness with disarming grace. Her presence is both fragile and fierce. An impossible balance that makes her utterly unmissable. Since being named a laureate of Sound Track 2023, Emma has been winning hearts across the country, show after show. On May 9, 2025, she released her hauntingly beautiful debut single ‘Insular’, the first glimpse of her upcoming debut EP, set for release in October 2025.
Little Moon
Step into the cosmic world of American indie folk band Little Moon, the dreamlike project of Utah’s Emma Hardyman. What began as a romantic album for her husband evolved into Dear Divine. A breathtaking exploration of love, grief, and spiritual rebirth, written in the wake of her mother-in-law’s passing and her own departure from the Mormon church. Her soaring vocals and lush, future-baroque arrangements evoke something between a Zelda soundtrack and Vashti Bunyan. On stage, she’s joined by close friends Bly Wallentine, Bridget Jackson, Chris Shemwell, Grace Johnson, and Nathan Hardyman, weaving a rich, emotional soundscape. It’s a transformative, celestial experience. An act of radical love and healing. Don’t miss it.
Luca St
Where house music blasts from the bathroom at 7AM on a Monday, where adrenaline is force-fed through kick and bass, and the gas bill hits harder than your hangover, that’s where you’ll find Luca St Feel the pressure rising? Good. With self-proclaimed “love songs, but my way,” Luca delivers raw emotion wrapped in relentless rhythm. Think spoken word caught in a rave, or as he puts it: “ritmisch gelul op een housebeat.” This is hip-hop reimagined. Catch him live at Hit The City, where love gets loud and lyrics hit like a strobe.
Death Sells
Death Sells, a four-piece from Eindhoven, forges a fierce connection between grunge, noise, and punk that grabs you and won’t let go. Get ready to be pulled into a world of tinnitus-inducing dissonance, bone-crushing riffs, and songs that feel more familiar than your average TikTok scroll. Buckle up — their live shows are raw, relentless, and unmistakably real.
Vampire Boyfriend
Vampire Boyfriend serve up dreamy alt-pop with a bite. Think jangle guitars, gloomy aesthetics, and lyrics that flirt with darkness but always land somewhere tender. It’s the sound of a grown-up teen goth making peace with her past, wrapped in sixties shimmer and deadpan charm. Led by Janine van Osta, the Rotterdam-based four-piece bring introspective songs to life on stage with a wink and a ritual, offering a soundtrack for self-acceptance that knows the power of a well-placed ABBA reference, or a Satanic chant.
Pol
Pol’s sound takes clear inspiration from new wave legends like Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Visage, blending shimmering synths with driving rhythms refreshed with a modern edge. On stage, brothers Matthijs and Ruben Pol, both professional models, effortlessly shift between guitars, synths, and percussion, immersing the audience in a sleek ‘80s-inspired synthwave experienc where music and fashion collide.
Parker Fans
Parker Fans are a kinetic Dutch trio turning chaos into a dancefloor love language. Powered by groovy basslines, jagged synths, and crunchy drum samples, their sound feels like a high school mixtape gone off the rails—equal parts Boyz II Men, Beastie Boys, and Vengaboys. Live, they’re a sweaty, unhinged explosion of pop hooks and art-school mischief, delivered with charm and zero dead weight. What began as dusty MPC beats has grown into full-throttle mayhem across clubs and festivals. Tracks like “Pool Of Fish” and “Skincare” bounce between breakbeats and electro freakouts, designed to keep bodies in motion.
Oykie
Amsterdam-born Oykie (Kyo Bijron) returned home at 17 to pursue music, quickly gaining millions of streams with hits like Geluk and Private Life—all without label support. Blending American styles with a distinct Dutch edge, his tracks like the viral Naar Je Toe and collaborations with Eves Laurent showcase his versatility. With over 20 million streams and recognition from FunX and Complex, Oykie is a rising star both on local and international stages.
Nymfo
With a career spanning legendary labels like Metalheadz, RAM Records, and Dispatch, Amsterdam-based Nymfo has earned his stripes as one of Drum & Bass’s most respected names. Whether lighting up massive festivals or bringing heat to the clubs where it all began, his DJ sets are a masterclass in tough, dancefloor-ready energy. Now running his own label, Love For Low Frequencies, and still pushing boundaries with every drop, Nymfo is proof that deep bass and sharp instincts never go out of style.
NOAH
Take it from one of our headliners two years ago, Sticks: NOAH is one of the most exciting new names in Dutch hip-hop and the multitalented force behind Noah’s Ark. Noah Defares, better known as NOAH, is a multidisciplinary artist who splits his time between the studio and the canvas. After the release of Mr. Blue in 2023, he made a conscious shift back to basics: fewer chords and melodies, more beats and bars. This creative reset led to the release of two punchy maxi-singles—Survival Of The Fittest / Noahlogie and Zeeziek / Kijken Kijken Niet Kopen—with a third one on the way.
