CLITTEBAND viert q***r, kleurrijk en raar! Doe je gordel los, schud je gewrichten uit, lik je lippen, nu niet meer sip, want het is tijd voor: CLITFEST.
14 november presenteren wij ons zelfgebouwde eendaagse festival in Hillyweird in Hilversum. Het event is gevuld met onze favoriete bands, drag, diy en plezier. En niet zomaar: het festival staat in het teken van onze nieuwe single release!

Kom je kontje schudden bij drag sets van cem🌟 en Rae🌈✨ .
Mosh je kapot bij de politiek geladen shows van Tray , GraafLandgraaf en Emirhan X // امیرحان (ja, we spelen Zeg die Mannen!).
Dans je frustatie eruit op de melodische tunes van Klezkopf en NEST , en rock de pan uit bij CHATTERMAG .
Maar ook aan randprogramma geen gebrek; knutsel je erop los bij de DIY tafel, koop te gekke merch van Bek vol Bloed , en krijs je longen eruit bij The Worst Karaoke (slecht, aub).

Uiteraard spelen wij ook, en presenteren onze kersverse, skagevulde single.

Met deze wilde collectie van gespuis op het programma zul je een beetje bozer, een beetje blijer en heel veel raarder thuiskomen. Mafkezen welkom!

On the 28th of August it’s ’s Bday Bash! And what better way to celebrate than get all melancholic and sad together with 3 emo bands including his favorite Dutch band!

thankfully don’t aim to traumatize children like the movie they are presumably named after. Instead the band, fronted by Bjorn, armed with an acoustic guitar, somehow pulls off making the Dutch language sound cool again with songs of melancholy for the days slipping through your fingers. Nothing like nostalgia for yesterday. Started as a solo project, Bjorn couldn’t deny his punkroots, got a full band to play emotional sing alongs, with the energy of PUP or Japandroids who you can still bring to your mom. Listen to them so you too can sing along!

Punky emo outfit played a Halloween show in our old venue in 2024 (real ones remember) and return to Hillyweird for this show. Masters of melancholic mosh pits. Ask them what EDLP means for a giggle!

is a self-aware emo/pop-punk band based in Utrecht led by Zaka. Nostalgia for simpler days of THPS, catchy guitar riffs, cliche lyrics (cliches exist for a reason) and do we hear autotune?

Let’s make it a good one and make sure to crowdsurf Nillo around the pillar!

On the 30th of July we’ll have a q***r punk night headlined by from Dublin and are supported by and . Show up for a night of music, q***rness, joy, rage, community, resistance and a lot of dancing!

Dublin finest Big Tears will headline the evening with their bubblegum trannycore garage punk band, made by the q***r girls for the girls and q***rs.

Bleedroot describe themselves as “Leftwingbabyeatingantifascistprochoicemanhatingp ussybleedingcistemstompingcrazyfeministangryq***rvegetablepunx music” and are not shy about it either.

F*ggots on Fire is a fresh and new chaotic q***r punk band from Utrecht. Their lyrics focus on topics like q***rness, feminism, neurodivergence, while always keeping an element of silliness and playfulness.
