+ Nataša Grujović & Steve Moore
Earth is an American rock band from Olympia, Washington, around guitarist Dylan Carlson. Since their formation in 1989 the group has been considered a pioneer of the drone metal genre, with the groundbreaking debut 'Earth 2' (1993) as a milestone. Their music balances heavy guitar drones, slow rhythms and minimal compositions that are as hypnotic as they are compelling. Together with drummer Adrienne Davies, Carlson continues to renew Earth's sound.

The Norwegian black metal band Mayhem celebrated their long and, to say the least, eventful career last year with the '40 years of Mayhem' tour.

Fri 6 Feb
Electro, Post punk
+ Morwan + Raderkraft
The Serfs, with roots among the silos of southwestern Ohio, are a dark and industrial band of dancefloor artists. They're a band of deranged troubadours whose sound and musical ideology seem to be a logical extension of their immediate surroundings: hard-wired and hypnotic synthesized melodies propelled by a churning, scraping percussion with metallic tones.
Hidden Agenda is an Amsterdam based gig guide focused on live and alternative music events across the Randstad.
