VICEFEST
Dive into the wonderful world of ViceFest for an evening. Different dream worlds converge and clash with each other. A surreal and chaotic experience! One moment you’re moshin’ to a punk rock band, the next moment you’re carried away by a bunch of acrobats, a little later you can’t stop dancing to the psychedelic music you’ve found in a hidden bar, only to get on a skateboard. ViceFest is an atypical night out where you are confronted with sides of yourself you didn’t expect to like, but in the end you do!
Stone
STONE would like you to know that they are from Liverpool. The city of Echo & The Bunnymen, OMD, The La’s, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and, of course, The Beatles. The band produces an impressive sound that reflects the influences of all its predecessors. Rock, punk, techno, Britpop, STONE’s sound contains it all. The Kooks and YUNGBLUD already asked STONE to tour Europe, they played Paradiso Noord flat and now it is time for Groningen to get to know this promise that is living up to itself.

The Northern Boys
The Northern Boys are a British Boomer Rap group made up of 3 retired men. The “Party Time” rappers have been going viral since their formation in 2022. And that’s not surprising. They are unhinged, shirtless, sweaty, spitting grandpas. Who wouldn’t want to see that? Norman Pain and Patrick Karneigh are the songwriters and performers. Yet The Northern Boys are known as a trio. In fact, live they are always accompanied by a dancer called Kevin. This. Must. You. Experience.
