As is tradition on the national holiday, we cross the language border towards Walifornia, where La Zone - our counterparts from Liege - takes over the bookings for the day.

Raklur (BE)

The Liège-based metal quartet Raklur serves up a brutal, organic sound guaranteed to make your guts rumble. Featuring lightning-fast blast beats, roaring basslines, and bone-crushing guitars, they unleash a tight mix of deathcore, grindcore, and punk. They scream in French about melancholic moods and social themes with an overwhelming intensity that leaves no one unscarred.

Empty Head (BE)

Driven by unadulterated punk energy and razor-sharp riffs, Empty Head burst out of the Liège underground with a massive appetite for musical chaos. Their explosive sound - visceral, unpredictable, and deeply influenced by acts like Viagra Boys and The Hives - is a direct invitation to completely let go. With their debut album Freak Show (2026), this quintet delivers a thrilling, pitch-black mix of post-punk and garage rock.

The Cancelled (BE)

The Cancelled is an uncompromising Liège-based punk band formed in 2023, effortlessly blending pure crust punk with heavy thrash influences. Inspired by the unbridled energy of heavyweights like Wolfbrigade, Doom, and Motörhead, this act delivers fast, relentless riffs. In short: thrashy crust punk cranked to maximum volume that begs for a wild moshpit.

Habenmeuf (BE)

Habenmeuf is the cheerfully chaotic project of four friends from Liège who throw riot grrrl, egg punk, and "punk farfelu" into an energetic blender. Originally started in a modest bedroom to the great annoyance of their neighbors, Salomé, Irène, Sacha, and Usha now deliver a wonderfully messy live show where the vibe completely rules. Their battle cry is as clear as it is infectious: punk, girls, and beer, damn it!.
