Nospray x Rotown present: Powerplant (UK) + HITMEN (UK)
27.05.26
“A DOUBLE BILL FOR THE AGES”
Powerplant
Once a solitary bedroom project of Ukrainian Theo Zhykharyev, that found its footing on the Internet and grew meat around the bone, becoming a full animated live band of London’s best. Powerplant occurs somewhere in the shadows of synth and post-punk that produces material both ‘sad & happy’, but always dark in both the music and looks. The kind of dark you get at about 9:30pm on a Summer day. So, come smell the synthesisers sizzle, hear fast precise drums – 100% live, jumpy giddy bass and a little guitar! This could be just your kind of thing! And all, all this to walk with our heads high and hearts light. Or at least try. To better days!
HITMEN
A band emerged from the close-knit UK hardcore scene, HITMEN is the new project fronted by Karim Newble (formerly of ISLAND OF LOVE). A new addition to London’s music scene, HITMEN have wasted no time turning heads and collecting attention. Their debut release Rock To Forget built upon layers of guitars, catchy and driven melodic hooks, and a healthy dose of distortion. A feral live experience, the group have gradually broadened their sound, taking on the cataclysmic wail of Dinosaur Jr, say, or even Husker Du and Milk Music.

Rotown X Nospray present: Het punktrio CLAMM komt met hun rauwe, energieke sound en directe, maatschappijkritische teksten op donderdag 6 augustus naar Rotown! Met hun meest recente album verkent de band een nieuwe muzikale richting, met toevoegingen van onder andere synths en blazers. Het album markeert een zelfverzekerd nieuw hoofdstuk voor het trio: ze verleggen hun muzikale grenzen, maar blijven trouw aan hun rauwe en krachtige kern. Met hun harde sound en duidelijke boodschap worden ze vaak genoemd naast de nieuwe generatie Australische punkbands. Tickets via de link in bio -> @rotownrotterdam

Ideal Victim (pt) + HONK (uk)
01.05.2026
Ideal Victim
Much more than just another punk band, Ideal Victim is a wildfire fueled by fury, grit, and defiance. Formed in Porto in 2022, this young outfit proposes a seemingly improbable formula that proves to be both unique and cohesive: over the raw, unyielding energy of 1980’s British hardcore, they layer the hypnotic vibes of surf rock and the nervous tension of rockabilly—crafting a taut and irresistible balance between atmosphere and aggression.
HONK
HONK is a genre-warping party here to rewire ideas of country music. It’s called Trashcan Country - a raucous, rough-edged twist on twang that’s dragged through the back alleys of punk, doused in garage-rock grit and left out to dry in the blazing sun.
At the core of HONK is an electrifying live show - equal parts hoedown and meltdown.
Following a UK tour and appearances at Deer Shed Festival, Label Mates and Rotterdam’s Left of The Dial, HONK are back in the saddle this Spring, cop it while you can - everything must go!

FAZE (can) + Mini Skirt (aus)
03.05.2026
FAZE
This band originated as a menagerie of a not-quite-supergroup, created to address the gaps in the Montreal music scene.
Comprised of members from diverse musical backgrounds-crust, hardcore, punk, and psych-their sound embodies the chaotic energy of a relentless snowstorm, with a brass trombone soaring overhead. Combining driving hardcore punk with tinges of psych elements they craft a sound that is melded, born not borrowed. Not only do they capture the essence of the city, but the members also actively contribute to its vibrant culture from multiple perspectives. With two albums released and tours across various countries, Faze represents the spirit of Montreal, alongside the city’s hardcore punk scene.
Mini Skirt
Northern New South Wales band Mini Skirt play Aussie pub punk that captures the climate of current-day Australia, things aren’t always picturesque and idyllic; the vocals are urgent and frustrated while the music has a rawness and melody sonically painting a picture of the hope through the struggle.

Sick Thoughts (USA) + The Protos
16.04.2026
Sick Thoughts (USA)
If you don’t know Sick Thoughts, you don’t know punk. The band is the mighty Drew Owen: Baltimore born and bred, he then up and left... moved to the swamps of New Orleans while still a teenager. The general consensus was he’d soon be seen hitting up tourists for money on Bourbon Street with a dog on a rope, but somehow he got hooked up with the best (or worst?) folks in the city and kept making great music. That, and the fact that 40 ounce bottles just bounce off his head, kept him alive. His third ever gig was opening for garage rock legends the Oblivions, who along with Jay Reatard and bands like the Carbonas are noticeable influences on his sound. From the outset, Sick Thoughts became known for its raw intensity and prolific output. Drew Owen has long since proven himself as one of the best songwriters of die-hard, old school rock‘n’roll!
The Protos
Primitive garage punk trio from Amsterdam with members of The Covids, Achterlicht and Burlers: raw, lo-fi and high energy punk rock with two guitars, a drum kit and a scream. It’s loud, in your face and stupid-perfect punk!
