On to the next! And with round 1️⃣1️⃣, the finish line comes in sight. Let’s keep moving! #GS26
@swervenoise
Part sludge, part noise rock, all momentum. Swerve carves weight and texture into sound, where distortion lingers like breath on cold glass and rhythm presses forward with a quiet, deliberate intensity. Vocals rasp with wear, guitars stutter and surge and relentless, thunderous drums hold together just long enough to fracture again. They’ve played rooms you won’t find on any map, basements tucked beneath other basements, where the ceilings sweat and the air carries a sharp, metallic tang. Swerve doesn’t just perform – they channel a raw, unfiltered current that leaves its mark.

@tiktok.tammo & band
TikTok Tammo rose to national recognition through his social media videos and has become a vocal ambassador for the city and province of Groningen. His sketches featuring his wife Anita, a red Ford Escort and the phrase ‘dikke bak met bietn’ have become widely recognisable. In 2020, he was named Groninger of the Year. After two sold-out theatre tours, TikTok Tammo returns to festivals and venues with his band. Live, TikTok Tammo & Band deliver a festive set filled with folky influences, new material and communal sing-alongs, placing shared enjoyment at the heart of the show.

@thelastmandrill
The Last Mandrill fuses modernity with slurring 90s alt rock, in a futurophobic worldview where nostalgia and despair confront what’s coming and what’s going to be fine. His themes of mythologized or intensified reality aim for the theatrical with romantic sincerity and self-deprecation in each of his endeavours.
