Open Deur boeking is back babyy! This time with a whole new event called PITCH:DARK, booking some noise rock and post-punk for all of you brooding souls.

Death Sells has a dark and peculiar sound bursting with energy. The music evokes a feeling that would never have known was there. With their dissonant tones, energetic shows and sensitive lyrics about personal stories, they are sure to leave a lasting impression on the audience.

Ioana Iorgu is an independent music producer, a self-taught guitarist, bassist and drummer. Back in Malaysia, 2014, she already started performing with her school’s rock band together with her English teacher who greatly inspired and introduced her to some of her records.

In 2015, Ioana released her first instrumental album Silent Scream, shortly followed by the shoegaze saturated Fiction. After experimenting with ambient music, Ioana dove in post-punk genre, employing dissonant guitar riffs, thumping bone-cold drum beats and raw, unsettling vocals. All instrumentals and recordings are written, recorded and mixed by Ioana. Live, she is accompanied by a session drummer.

Marumori is a five-piece driven by delicate fury. Drawing inspiration from bands like Tigercub and Queens of the Stone Age, they fuse grunge-soaked alt-rock with crushing riffs and violent grooves, carefully enwrought upon silken tension.

Solidarity Concert for Vasilis Maggos - Utrecht with Rebetiko Against the Machine x Panos Gourdoupis Quartet x Llouise x Haris Keramidas Trio

In June 2020, the struggle against waste incineration by AGET-Lafarge in Volos, Greece, was met with brutal state repression. Police attacked demonstrators, arrested activists, and attempted to silence the movement resisting corporate interests and environmental destruction.

On June 14, Vasilis Maggos was brutally beaten and tortured by police officers. One month later, on July 13, he was found dead.

More than six years later, the struggle to expose the truth, confront the cover-up, and hold those responsible accountable continues.

The prolonged legal battle comes with enormous financial costs. Supporting it, it is an inseparable part of political solidarity!

We come together in Utrecht for a solidarity concert to raise funds for the ongoing legal expenses of Vasilis Maggos’ case.

Against police brutality, state repression, and corporate power. For collective resistance, solidarity, and social justice.

📅 27/11 Doors open: 18:30

self-governance, autonomy and resistance in the face of domination.
Confronted with the myriad crises of the modern world, reviving the
democratic legacy of humanity's most innate form of organization is more
vital than ever.

Drawing from both past and present struggles, the framework created by
the Kurdistan Freedom Movement is a leading light for freedom-seekers
world-wide. Join us as we discuss practical ways out of the crisis, and
present the Academy of Social Science's new journal; Democratic
Modernity.

World’s Appreciated Kitch and Silent Call Collective present:

Prisonnier Du Temps
Born in Brest in 2020 at the initiative of Lionel Cadiou, Prisonnier du Temps was originally conceived as a solo project, developed alongside Syndrome 81. While its early compositions naturally carried the influence of the punk and hardcore scene Lionel came from, the project quickly developed an identity of its own: direct, instinctive music deliberately stripped of the polished conventions of modern production.
In May 2026, Prisonnier du Temps entered a new phase with Prendre le pouvoir par la force, their second album. While the urgency and fury of the first record remain firmly intact, the band considerably expands its musical territory. More diverse, ambitious and melodic, the album moves from hardcore punk and Oi! towards darker and more epic territories.

Hard Shoulder
Hard Shoulder klinkt alsof hardcore, punk en oi elkaar in een steegje ontmoetten zonder goede reden, maar mét resultaat: oer-lompe nummers die je hoofd langer vasthouden dan verstandig is. De vierkoppige hardcoreformatie bestaat uit leden die hun sporen al verdienden in 0fight8, Cornered, Aggravation, Pantah en Altered States, en dat hoor je. Geen franje, geen beleefdheid, gewoon hardcore die doet wat hardcore moet doen.

Maulkorb
Maulkorb is een hardcorepunk 4-piece uit Groningen. Gevormd in februari blazen ze snoeihard het publiek omver en laten ze snelle nummers horen waarin invloeden uit verschillende (sub)genres te horen zijn zoals D-beat en zelfs ska. Hun self-titled debuut-EP is afgelopen augustus in eigen beheer opgenomen & uitgebracht. Maulkorb heeft iin korte tijd al veel optredens achter de rug en zijn klaar om te slopen!
