Grote Geelstaart
Grote Geelstaart, the psychedelic noise-rock outfit from Zeeland, throws the audience into a runaway vehicle powered by pounding bass and two drummers. But just when you think you’ve got the ride figured out, the wheel jerks left. Noise-rock melts into a twisted disco beat, drummers become guitarists, and robotic voices bounce off rectangular synths. Dressed in white shirts and ties, this band steers a wild, genre-bending trip filled with punk, funk, and absurdity. With every turn, they surprise, confuse, and delight. No one knows the destination but one thing's certain: Grote Geelstaart is impossible to forget.
Lézard
The ongoing collapse of civilization is a lot easier to stomach with a spicy groove — something Belgium-based collective Lézard has figured out fast. Beneath the band’s precise, almost functional geometry simmers a feverish hysteria: a Boogie Wonderland for oddballs, misfits, and lost souls you can’t help but join. Channeling the spirit of Devo, LCD Soundsystem, XTC, and Belgian pioneers Telex, Lézard has already turned heads with their ‘disco vogue’ brand of art punk. They wear their garish pop smarts like a too-tight three-piece suit on the hottest summer day — loud, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore.
Slow Fiction
Slow Fiction came up in a fractured New York scene, rehearsing wherever would have them and chasing the sound that stuck. What they landed on is something heavy heavy on fuzz, restless guitars, and a sharp undercurrent of modern-day unease. Think Sonic Youth meets early-2000s indie, with none of the polish. Their ‘Crush’ EP (2024) captures that tension in motion, but it’s on stage where it really clicks: tight grooves, tangled guitars, and chaos that feels just about under control.
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.
Buunshin
Step into a world where sound becomes emotion, and bass tells stories. Buunshin, the Dutch prodigy, is the genre-defying force behind some of the most forward-thinking bass music of our time. Mentored by legends like Noisia and championed by global icons such as Skrillex, Flume, Porter Robinson, and Chris Lake, Buunshin's rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Drawing inspiration from the fragility of life, the light that exists in the dark, and the suffering inherent in the human experience, Buunshin translates musical ideas in a way that reminds us of the vastness of the universe. He studies relentlessly, experiments with new technologies, embraces enchanting vocals, maximizes bass sounds, and evokes nostalgia; all to tell stories that explore our deepest thoughts.
DITZ
DITZ create forward-thinking noise rock/post-punk, featuring a vast array of pedal effects and drawing influence from '80s and '90s post-hardcore and noise rock. Their latest album, Never Exhale (2025), is the sound of a band that hasn’t stopped to catch a breath — hardly surprising, given their relentless touring schedule (including support slots for IDLES). Sonically, the album is rooted in the usual DITZ touchstones such as classic noise rock like The Jesus Lizard and Shellac, or the obtuse post-punk of The Fall, while also introducing fresh influences.
With their last show at Hit The City in a packed Café The Jack still fresh in our memories, DITZ have solidified their reputation for ferocious live performances. We’re talking festivals played less than 24 hours after the drummer dislocated his shoulder, mid-set lake dives, and even having the French police shut down their Paris instore due to noise complaints. DITZ are as much an assault on the senses as they are one of the most exciting bands in the current UK punk scene.
KEG
Bursting with a frenzied love for the ‘song’, KEG toe the line between jagged post-rock energy and a deep-rooted flair for harmony and craft. Nodding to Minutemen, Fugazi and Radio 4, they bend genres without straying far from the rock realm. With seven members, Keg generate a joyful chaos—barbed guitars, skewed synths, blasts of trombone, and glimpses into a confused man’s mind. They swing from college rock to hardcore and wander into ambient and melodic terrain, always restless, always evolving.
Their EPs Assembly (2021) and Girders (2022) earned praise from NME, Loud and Quiet, So Young, and BBC Radio 6. Now they return with their anxiously awaited debut Fun’s Over in early 2025—and the chaos continues.
CaitC
Straight out of Breda, CaitC is lighting up the scene as one of the most exciting new talents in electronic music. Known for her vibrant energy and fearless style, she blends crowd-favourite bangers, hidden gems, and her own explosive productions into every set. A CaitC performance is a full-on journey; colourful, uplifting, and impossible to stand still to.

But CaitC isn’t just a DJ, she’s also a rising producer, with releases on respected labels such as Ridmic Records and Viper. Fueled by passion and driven by pure determination, CaitC is only just getting started.
KiLLOWEN
Rapper, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist KiLLOWEN is one of the UK’s most exciting genre-benders, blending UK garage, hip-hop, dance, and soul into tracks that feel both deeply personal and universally infectious. After making serious waves online with the viral hit ‘Sober’, written and produced entirely by the 24-year-old himself, KiLLOWEN skyrocketed to 4.8 million Spotify streams and over 20 million TikTok views, landing at 20 on the UK Viral chart. But this is no one-hit story. From early SoundCloud experiments to collaborating with artists like p-rallel, Arlo Parks, and Finn Foxell, he’s built a sonic world that’s raw, reflective, and relentlessly fresh.
