FREE EVENT. No ticket required. Priority given to passholders.Plëzher
Built around two bassists, heavy punk four-piece Plëzher is confrontational, unfiltered, and rooted in classic punk grit — tearing through convention and pissing off the patriarchy. Released late last year, their new self-titled album is 10 songs of raw energy guaranteed to blow your speakers.
Tall Mary
Gender-nonconforming noise rock force Tall Mary channels mystical gay energy through drills, awls, and jagged guitars. Their sprawling debut 2LP When Will I Find Something New explores gender and identity under a brutal society. Stirring post-punk, no wave, and raw noise into a spellbinding churn, they’re equal parts construction site, séance, and queer liberation.
Cell Press
Named after a Russian prison torture method, sludge three-piece Cell Press focuses on creating pummeling noisewalls for a dying world. Featuring members from acts like The Great Sabatini, Architect and The Chariot, you can find beauty underneath the group’s brutal soundscapes, but only for those willing to endure the noise.
PERRA
Creating art around violence, sisterhood and catharsis, five-piece grrrl gang punk band PERRA evokes a wolf-like type of feminist hardcore, creating a space where ferocity and chaos can make way for solidarity and community. Check out their 2025 double single release LA LA LA / Kathy Acker to prepare for the madness ahead.
