19:30 / Wijf
Wijf
With cutting guitars, thumping drums and heavy bass, Wijf guarantees expertly demolished stages. Singer Marie's powerful voice is sometimes soaring, sometimes groovy but always sharp.

This Ghent-based foursome is currently working on their debut EP during a summer of gigs in 2024 (including a second place at Jonge Wolven and a whirlwind passage at Zeverrock). 

20:30 / Empty Head
Empty Head
An explosive mix of garage rock energy, sharp stoner-like riffs and infectious melodies, Empty Head emerge from the underground scene in Liège, Belgium, electrically charged and seemingly ready for battle. Raw yet subtle, visceral yet unpredictable, Empty Head's fiery rock is a call to let go.

Empty Head released their EP, ‘Tales of a Modern Man’, one year ago. "Modern Man with a capital ‘M’ is a superior being, at the cutting edge of technology and at the top of the food chain. We wanted to make a mockery of this image, to dismantle it," explains Simon Galloy, the band's lead singer. With this second EP, Empty Head fully captures the intensity of their live performances while developing their critical and ironic lyrics and delivering a saturated judgement on the contemporary world and its way of thinking.

21:30 / Johnny Mafia
Johnny Mafia
Johnny Mafia is a band that has built an unshakable reputation as a live act. With three albums and countless concerts, they have managed to secure a top spot in a new and constantly surprising French music scene. After their second album, "Princes de l’amour," recorded by Jim Diamond (The White Stripes), they began working on their third opus, "Sentimental." Composed in a much shorter period than their previous records, the album benefits from greater cohesion and intensity. The band moves slightly away from the garage rock that defined their earlier albums and makes more room for long-standing major influences, with Pixies and The Breeders at the forefront. Beneath powerful walls of guitars, reminiscent of MTV’s golden age, the band delivers furious tracks with unforgettable choruses, infused with a surprising pop sensitivity that perfectly reflects the meaning behind this new album’s title.
