Get ready for a night of sonic intensity and raw energy as three roundbreaking acts take the stage. From Belfast's noise-punk powerhouse Enola Gay to Brno's explosive Sinks and the genre-bending rap experimentalists Dvě Slunce.

Enola Gay

Belfast’s Enola Gay is a relentless force in the modern noise-punk scene. Their venomous, hip-hop-infused vocals, brutal guitar work, and left-field electronica rhythms create a visceral sonic assault. Named one of the defining acts of 2022 by NME and Rolling Stone, they’ve dominated stages across the US, UK, and Europe before even dropping a debut album. They’ve shared the stage with The Cure, Death Grips, and Queens of the Stone Age while gaining praise from legends like Iggy Pop and Jehnny Beth. Their ferocious live energy is captured in critically acclaimed EPs Gransha and Casement, with the latter featured in The Quietus’ top 50 releases. Their latest project, Cold & Cortana (2024), expands their sonic boundaries, cementing them as one of punk’s most forward-thinking bands.

Sinks

Brno’s trio Sinks inject their raw post-punk energy with a biting noise-rock intensity. Their minimalist but explosive guitar riffs, tight rhythmic foundation, and expressive vocals create an immersive, almost hypnotic atmosphere. The band’s authentic DIY approach, combined with their uncompromising sonic assault, has earned them a cult following in the Czech underground scene. With strong anti-capitalist themes and poetic lyricism, Sinks' music balances chaos and precision, making each live show a high-voltage experience. After a series of EPs and their self-titled 2021 debut, they released born into this only to get through this in 2024 (Korobushka Records), an album that solidifies their status as one of the Czech Republic’s most captivating experimental acts.

Dvě Slunce

Afterparty on the Small Stage by Dvě Slunce, who rise over the horizon with their debut album GAS GAS, bringing a fresh and unconventional approach to alternative rap. The duo, consisting of Tomáš and František, navigates the genre’s familiar territory while discovering new emotional depths—rawness, mystery, and tenderness. Their sound journeys through Prague’s streets, caves, clubs, and darkened forests, enriched by guest appearances from Josef K and Bára Mü. The duo’s production reaches beyond hip-hop, blending folk, ambient, techno, and even campfire melodies while always staying rooted in themes of love, friendship, and a relentless pursuit of gas. With an atmospheric and genre-fluid sound, Dvě Slunce offer a unique experience, making their late-night set the perfect conclusion to an intense evening of music.
