On this beautiful Monday we are happy to announce this 90's skatepunk show!! TPN Ypres based skate punk, in Ypres these dudes don't need an introduction. Happy to have them over on this awesome skatepunk evening! DOWNSTROKE Formed in 2024 Downstroke was built on the foundation of early nineties Belgian punk rockers Concrete Cell. Their music evolved into a sort of blackened punk rock. Harsh, angry, loud yet danceable. Hardened through life Downstroke provides you the energy you need to dance away everyday battles. We live, we love, we lose, we laugh! PRIDEBOWL Swedish-American melodic punk rockers formed in 1994, known for fast-paced music, serious lyrics, and a DIY ethos.

We'll finish this week full of announcements with the closing act of Random Fest 2026. NØFX Yes! The number 1 NOFX coverband is coming to Random Fest for a wonderfull afterparty! Expect a great party with sing-alongs. with (ex-)members of Five Days Off and Gino's Eyeball, these guys know what punkrock means. Let's end Random Fest 2026 in style! See you all tomorrow at Ieperfest Winter!

After quite some international names, we want to add some fine Belgian tunes to our fest too. CROSSHAIRS Crosshairs is H8000's newest allstar band featuring Nico Siench on drums, Pletze on guitar, Freddy Nostra on bass and Joris De Bruyn on vocals. Gratefull to have these guys playing Random Fest. WORKS OF THE FLESH Sometimes, we like our music fast and heavy. Works Of The Flesh is an Antwerp death metal crust band. We can describe it as old BOLT THROWER meets SKIT SYSTEM meets MOTÖRHEAD. Members of ABRAHAMIC LIARS, MUSTH, SUHRIM, and many more. There are limited early birds online now, available through link in bio. We'll announce one more band tomorrow!

The sun is out so let's enjoy a bunch of new names of Random Fest. Beyond excited to announce these two incredible German bands! CLEARxCUT (DE) CLEARxCUT is a German based band committed to spreading the message of total liberation through metallic hardcore. Founded by (former) members of renowned acts like Heaven Shall Burn, Implore, and King Apathy/Thrӓnenkind, the group stands firmly dedicated to the vegan straight edge (XVX) philosophy. Their mission is to confront listeners with inconvenient truths and today's harsh realities, rooted in a strong DIY ethic. With a sound defined as raw, metallic hardcore, the band translates their strong convictions into high-intensity music, aimed at all defenders of our Earth who are prepared to stand up for a better, fairer future. TO THE WIRE (DE) Forged in the heart of Germany’s Ruhr Area, TO THE WIRE is proof that hardcore can still feel urgent, honest, and alive. Drawing from the raw intensity of 80s and 90s hardcore while pushing forward with a modern edge, they’ve carved out a sound that hits hard without losing its heart – emotional, energetic, and unmistakably youth crew in spirit. With over a hundred shows across multiple countries, including a 12 dates tour in the USA last year, TO THE WIRE has earned its reputation the only way that matters: on the stage, night after night. Their live shows are sweat-soaked explosions of unity and release – where passion outweighs polish and every word matters. There are limited early birds online now, available through link in bio. We'll announce more bands tomorrow!

We're adding two new bands to the line-up. We're exremely happy to announce that two fantastic bands are coming over from USA to play some European stages, including Random Fest on 17/10! Check their songs out! ARCLINE (US) Los Angeles based hardcore collective, ARCLINE makes straight up NYHC heavy groove style music. The new songs they wrote also lean into a darker side tonally that is reflective of the current state of a world that’s gone to shit. Fans of Trapped Under Ice, Buried Alive and 100 Demons should take note that these new ARCLINE songs still pack the ferocious punch they brought on their debut EP. SLUMPT (US) Slumpt blends the aggressive groove of early 2000's hardcore with catchy choruses and hard hitting riffs. They are creating a sound that's both familiar and fresh. There are limited early birds online now, available through link in bio. We'll announce more bands tomorrow!

Extremely happy to share the first names of Random Fest. WOKE UP TIED UP We love to see young people starting bands and keep the scene we love going. Expect some great, fast and angry hardcore. Old school with a fresh touch. Really excited to have these youngsters on the bill! NOTHING WORKS (DE) Formed in late 2022, Nothing Works is a rising force from Berlin’s underground subcultures. Blending '90s indie/alternative with modern melodic and post-hardcore, their sound is raw, urgent and emotionally charged. Think Drug Church meets Bikini Kill. That’s a good starting point for understanding their unapologetically political lyrics and the fierce energy they bring to every show. There are limited early birds online now, available through link in bio. We'll announce more bands tomorrow!

NEW SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT Italian Deathcore @graveryofficial will tear down @vortnvis on 11/04/2026 together with Limburgs fastest @last.hc and new kids on the block @highestorderhc Tickets through link in bio. GRAVERY Gravery is a Downtempo Deathcore combo signed with Upstate Records USA and distributed by Bloodblast Nuclearblast. Their first EP "Everything that is born must Die" (2024) made its debut at #18 on the NACC TOP 30 HEAVY CHART in the USA radio after being premiered by DECIBEL MAGAZINE. Gravery played more than 80 shows in 11 countries between 2024 and 2025 to support this release and they are in process to release a brand new EP in 2026. Their live performances are defined as “savage and ferocious with a taste of creepyness”. HIGHEST ORDER Highest Order is a hardcore band born out of Belgium. Expect a relentless mix of fast riffs, pure aggression, and crushing breakdowns — straight to your face, no bullshit. Metal and hardcore collide in a modern sound fueled by the raw energy of the ’90s and early 2000s. In January 2026 they released their first EP 'Sink'. " LAST In early 2020 members of The Dying and These Mountains Are Ghosts, decided to combine forces and forge an alliance of brutality and speed with result in their band LAST. With the experience of 30 years in the Belgian underground scene, the band released their first demo "Eater Of The Light" on Kick Out The Jams in 2021 and immediately started working on their first full-length. "The Sinless Birth" released in 2022 on Genet Records combines the speed of thrash metal, the grittyness of belgian hardcore and the guts of the filthiest death metal.  2025 Marked the release of their third album ‘III’ and began a new chapter in an old story.  They don't play nice, they play hard and they play fast.
