Wijf
This Ghent-based quartet delivers raw energy, heavy riffs and powerful vocals. The voice of singer Marie can be ethereal, then groovy, but always with a twist. Expect a professional teardown of stages.
CLUB BRAT
CLUB BRAT are a five-piece Punk/Noise Pop explosion, built on jagged guitar lines, heavy low-end dissonance, and rhythms that never sit still for long. Born in Peterborough and now split between Bristol and London, the band formed in 2023 and wasted no time carving out their own chaos. Their reputation has grown fast: feral, unpredictable live shows where control feels just out of reach, powered by a relentless DIY ethos that keeps everything raw, urgent, and unapologetically loud.
Meryl Streek
Meryl Streek is an upcoming artist and producer from Dublin, Ireland, who has been making an international impression since the early 2020s with a unique blend of avant-garde punk, experimental electronica, and post-punk. His music combines raw energy, political themes, and cross-genre soundscapes — with spoken word, beats, and distorted instruments that together form an unconventional, driven sound close to the underground scene.
Uitzendbureau
Uitzendbureau is a Dutch hardcore punk band delivering a burst of raw energy. Their sound is fast, loud, and uncompromising, built on aggressive riffs and pounding drums. Lyrically they confront police violence, dystopian collapse, and resistance against authority. Rooted in a DIY ethic, the band channels frustration into chaotic shows where control is secondary to intensity. Uitzendbureau doesn’t soften its message or sound; it amplifies tension and anger into a wall of noise demanding attention rather than asking for it.
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.
Sad Banana
Ever wondered what the world looks like through the eyes of an overripe banana? Sad Banana crafts an existential fruit salad in the form of a music concert. They are blending punk, rap, and dadaism into a bittersweet cocktail of sound. Their lyrics teeter between bravado and breakdown, vulnerability and kitsch, politics and pastiche. It’s absurd, it’s emotional, it’s post-capitalist pulp with a pulse. Catch them live at Dynamo during Hit The City. Tears become beats if you squeeze them hard enough. Sad? Very. But also unmissable.
BUG
Trust us — there's no way you'll leave the Dynamo venue without breaking a sweat after a BUG show. Within minutes, the place transforms into a writhing mass of bodies or something that can only be described as pure chaos. BUG delivers an explosive blend of rap, punk, and pounding rave beats, topped off with raw, unfiltered lyrics. Think The Prodigy-level madness, but with a sharper, more contemporary edge. Add in choreographed elements and performance art, and it’s no surprise they became a crowd favorite at both Popronde and ESNS in recent editions.
Angry Blackmen
Angry Blackmen are the Chicago duo tearing into the horrors of modern America with raw poetry and spine-snapping industrial hip hop. On their 2024 album The Legend of ABM, Quentin Branch and Brian Warren waste no time. Jumping straight into a barrage of glitchy, noise-heavy beats and pathos-laced bars about themes such as racism, capitalism, addiction, and survival. It’s a 30-minute blast of existential urgency told through personal anecdotes and razor-sharp wordplay. Expect their live shows to be just as unfiltered and loud. An electrifying deep-dive into the pre-apocalyptic world we’re already living in.
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.
Brunzyn
Straight outta Vlaardingen: Brunzyn! He’s is not just an artist, he’s the vice president of Albino Sports, an independent label making major moves. After a lifetime of vibing to hip-hop, he now spits relatable bars over blazing beats, always keeping the crowd on its toes. A true man of the people, Brunzyn builds a real connection with his audience and when he hits the stage, it shows. With explosive projects like ‘B2’, ‘Albino Sports Vol. 1’ (with Joost Klein), and ‘Meer Dan Een Meme’, you already know he’s about to tear it all down. Expect high energy, slick moves, and moshpits that’ll shake basement.
