The Asteroid No. 4 (US) +Harvey Rushmore & the Octopus (CH)

Colour Haze (DE) (psychedelic heavy rock), hailing from Munich, has been THE benchmark of the German psychedelic and heavy rock scene for many years. The band masterfully paints vivid images and creates soundscapes through its music. And just like in nature, their soundscape is marked by constant ebb and flow. Soft, subtle melodies float through the air, then intensify. Expansive yet determined rhythms take hold, creating a captivating groove that immediately hypnotizes the listener. The guitar, which had been sounding dreamy and tender, becomes more furious, louder, and more intense. The tracks unleash their “electro-hash” tension in bubbling, powerful hard-rock eruptions, only to collapse back in on themselves once more. The Asteroid No. 4 (US) (psychedelic rock / shoegaze) Hailing from Philadelphia and now based in the Bay Area, The Asteroid No. 4 has been crafting hypnotic music since the late ’90s—a blend of shoegaze, psychedelic folk, and Kosmische Musik. On stage, endless layers of guitars, reverb-drenched vocal harmonies, and relentless rhythms create an immersive and spellbinding experience—one you absolutely must witness. Harvey Rushmore & the Octopus (CH) (psychedelic rock / garage rock) Just last year, Harvey Rushmore & the Octopus were on tour promoting their album *Freedomspacecake*. The band brought explosive energy to concert venues across Europe with their psychedelic/garage rock sound. After a brief creative hiatus, they’re back with their fourth album, *Mindsuckers* (2026). It’s a work that evokes a sonic dystopia in tune with our tumultuous present. The result is a soundtrack that banishes all lethargy. The fourth studio album, *Mindsuckers*, by Basel-based Harvey Rushmore & the Octopus combines catchy melodies with improvised excesses. *Mindsuckers* offers a wide range of moods and impressions, inspired by old horror movies and B-movies, AI-related dystopias, and the collapse of reality—somewhere between nostalgia and anxiety about the future.
