La Muerte: Belgium’s Loudest Legends (21:30 – 22:45)
After decades of delivering unapologetically loud and controversial music, La Muerte is bidding farewell. Known for their black leather aesthetics and glorification of cartoonish violence, this band has been a cornerstone of Belgium’s underground music scene since 1984. With hits like “Kustom Kar Kompetition” and “Wild Thing,” their sound blends blues, heavy metal, and punk influences. This is your last chance to witness their visceral energy live—don’t miss it!
Honeymoon Cowboys Plays Siglo XX (19:50 – 21:00)
Antonio Palermo brings back the spirit of Siglo XX with Honeymoon Cowboys. This exclusive set features the same lineup from Siglo XX’s 2021 reunion tour. Expect a powerful performance that channels the dark post-punk vibes that made Siglo XX legendary!
Velvet Mist: A Comforting Darkness (18:25 – 19:25)
Velvet Mist crafts a rich tapestry of melancholic guitars and synths inspired by 80s goth rock and new wave icons like Sisters of Mercy and The Cure. Their music envelops listeners in a dense yet soothing atmosphere—a velvet blanket for the soul. Check out their EP Visitation for a taste of their modern take on classic goth sounds!
Horskh: Electro-Indus Explosion (17:00 – 18:00)
French duo Horskh delivers a high-octane mix of EBM, metal, and electro. Their live performances are pure adrenaline, combining acoustic drums with saturated guitars and machine-driven beats. Whether you’re into dancefloor grooves or pogo pits, Horskh guarantees an unforgettable experience!
DJ Sets by DJ The Black Widow
Between bands, DJ The Black Widow will keep the energy alive with her curated sets—perfect for transitioning between performances or catching your breath.
