Have you already planned your schedule and decided which bands you want to see? If not, we’ve got two acts for you that you absolutely shouldn’t miss beyond the headliners!
Sleep Theory
If you’re into catchy pop punk with edgy post-hardcore vibes and a bit more punch, you should definitely check out Sleep Theory. The four-piece band around frontman Cullen Moore released their first album Afterglow last year, after already making waves with their earlier releases. Their debut single “Another Way” went viral on TikTok, and tracks like “Numb” and “Static” also brought them huge success on social media. Live, the band delivers great energy and plenty of feel-good moments, and their songs are perfect for singing along. Sounds like a great addition to your Saturday schedule, right?
Future Palace
Post-hardcore straight out of the German capital! That’s what Future Palace bring to the table. The Berlin-based trio doesn’t have far to travel and will be bringing a massive set of songs with them. The band already has three albums under their belt, most recently the full-length record Distortion, released in 2024. What makes them stand out: vocalist Maria Lessing effortlessly switches between powerful screams and crystal-clear clean vocals as if it were the easiest thing in the world. Their songs are packed with energy and reflect that intensity lyrically as well. Definitely a band you’ll want to add to your Friday schedule.
Want to be there but don’t have your tickets yet? Then don’t wait! You can find tickets for the full festival weekend, the warm-up show, camper/parking options, and merch right here.
