Performers:
25 November / 8 p.m. / Fabrika
Liquid Supercharge from Pula was created a little over a year ago. It consists of members of the bands Fried Brain, Immobile, and Fonjatura. They mixed everything they love, rock’n’roll, punk, and hardcore, and recently released their first EP.
Lion’s Law from Paris needs no special introduction. One of the leading street punk bands is coming to Novi Sad at the height of its popularity.
Neuspeh are the hosts of the festival, and with this performance, they will promote their debut album published by SCCNS.
Odpadki civilizacije is one of the first hardcore bands from the former Yugoslavia, reuniting two years ago. Ljubljana HC is in their best edition.
Yöu with HC and punk and emo and screamo. It’s crazy, it’s good, and how else would it be when coming from Skopje.
26 November / 8 p.m. / Fabrika
Agregat performs Rijeka’s melodic hardcore with windy marine Postojna Cave riffs, ideal for punk dance, tap dance and cha-cha-cha, accompanied by light tango rhythms on the drums.
Staticø is a national name that is much talked about. We saw them with Slapshot in June. Now there is a replay. Their debut EP was released by one of the leading HC labels in Europe Refuse Records.
La Inqusición is debuting on our soil with the most refined, anthemic, melodic Oi!/punk from Barcelona.
Ruidosa Inmundicia comes from Vienna led by the great Carolina whom you know from the bands Sotatila, Sucidas, Demenzia Kolektiva, etc. They recently released a new album featuring fast and energetic songs.
Kriva istina are our dear neighbours, who are always welcome in Novi Sad. They released a new EP in May.
Rixe because it makes no sense for Lion’s Law to come alone… A trio that plays and sings the best possible Oi! Is coming to Serbia for the first time.
Death Side, the cult hardcore/punk band from Tokyo, rarely comes to Europe, and this time they are coming for the festival in Novi Sad. When was the last time you saw a Japanese band live?
