Hondenfokker
Based between Amsterdam and Groningen, Hondenfokker is a kennel-broken three-piece caught somewhere between a rave and a riot. The band smashes jagged guitar riffs into a mess of chaotic beats and analog synth bass, built for both the dancefloor and the mosh pit. Impossible to keep on a leash with vocals snapping between catchy hooks and wild improvisations, sinking their teeth in and refusing to let go.
Gender Reveal Atomic Bomb
This quartet brings an explosion of creative chaos, which travels through time to the future of punk. By combining the raw authenticity of punk rock and riot grrrl with complex guitar and bass lines that borrow elements from metal, glam and prog. Get yourself ready for a trip to another dimension.

Snapped Ankles
Straight out of the woods and into the heart of Hit The City, Snapped Ankles bring their unmistakable blend of feral post-punk, hypnotic electronics and untamed energy to Eindhoven. What started among the trees has evolved into one of the UK’s most unique live phenomena, renowned for transforming every show into a shamanic, communal ritual. Fresh off acclaimed albums, sold-out tours and appearances at festivals like SXSW and Desert Daze, the East London collective returns with their new record Hard Times Furious Dancing and the infectious ‘Forest Rayve’ sound.
Devon Rexi
This Amsterdam-based interdimensional dub group skirt and flirt around a motorik kraut-rock mentality with an unsuspected physicality and an uncategorisable sense of experimentation. As much as they create something fantastical and yet-unheard, their priority is in understanding vulnerability and friction, reality and fragility, mythologies and everyday resistances. They do this artfully and honestly through an almost deceptively simple arrangement of percussion, bass, and melody.
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.
Fellatio
With their jagged, propulsive sound, Fellatio became a lightning-quick live sensation, spreading like a blight from Rotterdam’s underground scene to the great beyond. Their pilgrimage has just begun, make sure you don’t miss out!
L.A. Sagne
L.A. SAGNE explodes on stage. Brimming, screaming, loving, and making everything move. Four friends? Maybe, but don’t think of them as a polite biography entry. You hear their bond in every punchy riff, every anarchic drumbeat. Since 2025, they’ve conquered Noorderslag, Best Kept Secret, Paaspop, and more, with tours alongside Girls To The Front and Ploegendienst. Their debut album drops April 2026, but for now, singles like I’m A Girl and I Paint Walls smash expectations. Melodic punk anthems, dystopian guitars, and roaring energy.
Snackbar
Formed in Amsterdam, Snackbar delivers a fatal dose of feminist hard rock with screaming organs, cutting guitars and compelling punk rhythms. The goal: claiming more space for women and other marginalized groups. The means: loud, direct, Dutch noise. The result: a chaotic explosion of feminist punk and 70s hard rock.
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.
