Ashnikko – La Madeleine – 7th of February
Ashnikko in an intimate venue in Belgium? A dream come true! As part of the tour for her highly anticipated second album “Smoochies“, fans can expect an immersive experience drawn directly from Ashnikko‘s chaotic and hyper-colourful universe, which will leave a lasting impression.
And bonus : Ashnikko has even revealed the mandatory dress code for the evening: maximalism, hedonism, high and low, too much and almost nothing at the same time!Needless to say, our outfits are ready and we’re already counting down the days.

Militarie Gun – Botanique – 8th of February
The LA-born Militarie Gun sits at the crossroads of melodic hardcore, indie rock, snyth punk and many other genres that they bend to their own will with raw vulnerability. But one thing’s for sure, their latest release “God Save The Gun” has been at the top of our playlists for all the good reasons. It’s a deeply human release, filled with a mix of self-destruction and self-belief.
Montreal’s Post-Hardcore band Spite House will honor the opening spot.

Lorna Shore – Forest National – 9th of February
The metal sensation that has risen rapidly in recent years continues to push the boundaries of technical and vocal prowess and has become a global benchmark thanks to their stage performances. They are accompanying the release of their latest album, ‘I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me’, with a European/UK tour. They will be accompanied by the best of today’s deathcore scene, with Whitechapel, Shadow Of Intent, and Humanity’s Last Breath. An exceptional line-up for an unforgettable evening that promises to be explosive!

Jessica’s Pick
Blossoms – Trix Club – 11th of February
Blossoms have quickly become one of the most exciting British bands around, thanks in part to their buzz on social media. Their nostalgic britpop sound and catchy choruses bring back the spirit of the 90s, but with a modern twist. This is an unmissable event for anyone who loves British pop and craves a dose of feel-good nostalgia.

Sanguisugabogg – Kavka Zappa – 13th of February
Do you like caveman noises and downtuned, filthy riffs? Because I absolutely adore caveman noises and downtuned, filthy riffs. Sanguisugabogg’s brutal death metal sounds exactly the same as what you’d expect to come out of Florida’s gator-infested swamps; violent, disgusting, gory, but still a really great experience for the whole family! Fulci, Gates to Hell and Celestial Sanctuary will open up the first pits.

Hot Mulligan – Botanique – 20th of February

After their 2025 tour supporting Pierce The Veil at the Lotto Arena, the band will headline at the Orangerie du Botanique in Brussels, with Delta Sleep as support. Their melodic and energetic sounds and heart-wrenching vocals will get the crowd moving and jumping in the pit.
