  Eagles of Death Metal

  Formed in 1998 in Palm Desert, California by best friends Jesse Hughes and Joshua Homme, Eagles of Death Metal is not a death metal band. The story goes that a friend was introducing Homme to the death metal genre, and Homme wondered what a cross between the Eagles and a death metal band would sound like. With that, EODM was born. The band released Peace Love Death Metal in 2004, followed by Death by Sexy in 2006, Heart On in 2008, Zipper Down in 2015 and Eagles of Death Metal Presents Boots Electric Performing The Best Songs We Never Wrote in 2019.

  The EODM live band is filled out by Jennie Vee on bass, Jorma Vik on drums, and Joshua Jove on guitar. - 2023

  Amenra

  Amenra is a progressive/sludge/post-metal band formed 2003 in Belgium (Kortrijk, West-Flanders).

  Amenra delivers dark, heavy and sludgy post-hardcore in the vein of Cult of Luna, Isis and Neurosis. Intense, noisy and gloomy almost spheric at times. Rich and Textured riffs. Thunderous low tones. High impact percussion and cutthroat vocals splattered with a healthy dose of religious iconography. Coalesce into a beautiful pitch black collection of staggering proportion.

  Peter Pan Speedrock

  Peter Pan Speedrock was founded in 1996 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. They came up with the slogan Eindhoven Rockcity to promote the thriving rock scene in the city, with other known bands like The Spades, 69 Charger, Stuurbaard Bakkebaard and many more.
  
  The three-headed band is full of energy and puts the pedal to the metal. Its members are:
  - Peter "Piet" van Elderen - guitar, singer
  - Bart "Bartman" Geevers - bass
  - Bart "Bartje" Nederhand - drums
  On stage they are often accompanied by Dikke Dennis, a rather fat singer from Amsterdam ('dikke' means 'fat' in Dutch).

  Ramkot

  Ramkot is a wrecking ball from Ghent, Belgium, playing powerful yet danceable rock music. After two EP’s and building a reputation as one of the most exciting live bands around, the spring of 2023 sees the release of debut album In Between Borderlines, a razor-sharp 25-minute uppercut aiming for both head and hips. They tour extensively, playing a hefty 100 shows in just one year: from steamy venues and sun-drenched festival stages (Pinkpop, Down The Rabbit Hole) to even opening for Metallica in Amsterdam. For their sophomore album, instead of producing it themselves again, Ramkot enlist producer Alain Johannes (QOTSA, Eagles of Death Metal, Them Crooked Vultures), who invites them to the Joshua Tree desert. For three weeks, Ramkot reside in the legendary Rancho De La Luna studio, famous for QOTSA frontman Josh Homme’s The Desert Sessions. ‘We pulled out all the stops, not pushing our foot down on the accelerator all the time, which allows the music to breathe more. There’ll be a couple of softer songs the fans will not be expecting from us.’ But rest assured, every single note still sounds very much like Ramkot. The band will only play a handful of shows this year, including 2000 Trees (UK), Sziget (H), Pukkelpop (BE) and Lowlands (NL).
