IEPER HARDCORE FEST

NEW BANDS ADDED TO THE LINEUP!!

First of all we want to thank you for an amazing Winterfest. We had an absolute blast & can’t wait until summer!!

We like to welcome to the lineup:

ECHO CHAMBER: One of the most hyped bands coming from Köln, Germany. Members of SPARK and FORCE OF DENIAL. In the style of late 80s/early 90s NYHC. Think OUTBURST and KILLING TIME.

GAME CHANGER: One of the hardest working bands at the moment in Belgium. A collaboration between DIE MY DEMON drummer Ali, xVICIOUSx and FEVERCHILD. Expect heavy metallic hardcore with plenty of mosh time. Or as they call it: EUROCORE

GRIDIRON: Rap infused hardcore on BBB Records, founded during covid with members of YEAR OF THE KNIFE and NEVER ENDING GAME. Super energetic live show is guaranteed. For fans of moshing and going nuts on stage.

HETZE: Belgian ultra fast power violence/hardcore, taking the scene by storm. If you are not fully awake, they’ll make sure you are.

MAGNITUDE: American hardcore band originally from Charlotte, North Carolina. Formed in 2017. Their lyrical content tends to focus on straight edge culture, self empowerment, animal rights, fighting systemic oppression and unjust violence. All of this supported by heavy breakdowns.

MISSING LINK: Beatdown infused hardcore from New York City with a new record just released. For fans of GOD’S HATE and THREE KNEE DEEP.

NEVER ENDING GAME: With ‘OUTCRY’ they released one of the best records in 2023. Now for the first time on the Ieperfest stage. Bringing you the ‘hard’ in hardcore!

SCARAB: Chaotic hardcore with lots of metal influences. Tyler from GRIDIRON brings you super raw vocals accompanied with crushing riffs. For fans of KICKBACK and NAILS.

XIAO: From the country that brought us ABBA and Roxette we now have Xiao, a Swedish hardcore band based in Stockholm. The group emerged with their first EP, Pain, bringing forth a sound that can go from the hurried pacing of D-beat and power violence one moment, and slower and measured the next.
