Kombinat Festival 2026

BLANCHE BIAU (wave / shoegaze)

Wave in half-light, shoegaze in the haze, trip hop as the lingering warmth in the room.

A voice like frosted glass - gentle, yet relentless.

Melodies and angelic vocals that settle on your skin and slip beneath it.

Catchy, sad, dreamy.

BLASKAPELLE CHANCENTOD (post punk)

Post-punk that prefers to stumble rather than march.

No brass meets concrete, melancholy meets a hangover mood, and somewhere in between life dances when no one’s watching. Like rusty love letters from nowhere.

It’s the dirt under poetry’s fingernails.

COCON JAVEL (candy roquefort electro pop)

Sweet, until it tips over. Glitter as a barb. Pop as an open wound with sharp humor.

An invitation to stop repressing your scars and reflections.

Between desire, fear, and defiance, a nerve remains exposed.

Unflinching presence and bittersweet playfulness that seduces and challenges.

CROOKED EYES (stoner / metal / prog / punk)

Loud, but without posturing. It grinds, it grows, it tilts - at exactly the right moment.

It builds up only to collapse again. Control is, at best, background noise here.

Heavy riffs and crumbling structures with built-in breaking points.

GANS SAUVAGE (fuzzy psych rock)

Soft, gentle psych. Fuzz without waves.

Tired electric guitars that suddenly flare up.

Sometimes wildly “gans,” sometimes calmly “gans.”

Smoke hangs low between stage and ceiling.

H E X (hypnotic industrial synth rock)

Dark synths, cutting guitars, rhythm like a machine.

Between EBM, post-rock, and end-of-days poetry, a cold pull emerges.

Hypnotic, controlled, intense. The room tightens, the vision sharpens.

KONOMONO (melodic kraut)

Repetition without comfort, motorik without consolation.

Melodies push forward, lose themselves, find a line within the circle.

While the beat stoically traces its path through doubt and dust.

RÉMY SAX (experimental / post punk / dark jazz)

Dark jazz, a quiet hum, and a hint of basement air.

Then post-punk tears the window open.

What remains is a room full of echo.

SPEAR FLOWER (industrial wave)

A fog of noise and piercingly sharp synth beats.

A night march through a desert of broken glass.

TUPFEN (indie rock)

Words and sounds for what floats between people.

Closeness with risk, tenderness without filters.

Their songs move you to tears, to laughter, and most of all: to dance.

TV MINDD (experimental guitar / synth)

Guitars trigger impulses, machines respond.

Basslines circle deep beneath the surface. Darkness, repetition as a state.

Images and sound merge. A space that closes in and breathes.

VERBRENNUNG 3. GRADES (punk / post punk)

Internet culture, queerness, and Catholicism in the same breath - and a healthy dose of hatred for the patriarchy. Pop isn’t smoothed over here.

Anger takes shape and frequency. It shines without asking permission.

Burns loud. Burns bright.

WIND CURRENT (psychedelic grunge)

Guitars with dust, choruses without pathos.

Loud enough that it won’t let you go.

XHER (iconic hyper rock)

Hyper-rock with splinters in the gums. A sound that refuses the middle.

Identity flickers as an endless loop under strobe light.

Too much is never enough here.

YOKO YOLO (kraut / drone / rave)

Hypnotic grooves meet analog textures, pulsing energy meets raw voices.

A trip for body and mind that's uncompromising and loud.

The pulse endures even as everything blurs and time dissolves into rhythm.

ZART (slowcore / wave / dreampop / shoegaze)

Mostly slow, a little tired, a little sad.

Dreamy without kitsch. Guitars without heroism.

Voices without promises. Slowcore as gentle realism.

Music like an evening when nothing happens - and that is exactly your comfort.
