Main Stage:
Suicide Commando (BE)
For almost 40 years, Suicide Commando have been pioneers of the harder Electro genre — and remain uncompromising innovators to this day. Formed in 1986 by Johan van Roy, the band shaped the sound of synthetically induced mayhem across albums like Critical Stage, Mindstrip, and Forest of the Impaled. Driving beats, haunting electronics, and an addictively aggressive vocal style — paired with club hits like "See You in Hell" and "Die Motherfucker Die." In 2026, the band celebrates its 40th anniversary with a series of exclusive live shows.
Corpus Delicti (FR)
30 years after their last studio album, Corpus Delicti return with Liminal — a record both dark and luminous, vibrant and urgent. As a major name in the French and international post-punk scene, the band remains faithful to its roots while embracing a modern edge. Following a triumphant reunion, sold-out concerts around the world, and a critically acclaimed live double album, Liminal confirms that Corpus Delicti is more than ever a key force on the international dark post-punk scene.
Klangstabil (DE)
A fixed point of reference for experimental electronic music beyond clear genre boundaries since 1994. Founded by Maurizio Blanco and Boris May, Klangstabil approach their work as sound research: a permanent questioning of structures and expectations, guided by their motto "One step back, two steps forward." Across three decades, numerous albums, and intense live performances worldwide, the project remains inquisitive, singular, and always in motion.
Calva Y Nada (DE)
CALVA Y NADA emerged in 1990 from the ashes of the band Glatze des Willens. Between 1990 and 1998, the band released six LPs and one EP before bowing out — supposedly for good — with the album Schlaf and a triumphant show at WGT. But fans and promoters wouldn't let up: 2023 brought a celebrated live comeback at Amphi Festival, and select shows have followed since, with new material in the works. At the helm remains Constantin Warter aka Breñal, joined on stage since 2024 by his daughter Alba on synthesizer and samples. Genre: somewhere between Gothic, Punk, and Industrial.
Soror Dolorosa (FR)
Soror Dolorosa is one of the leading names of the contemporary European gothic rock and cold wave scene. Formed in Toulouse in 2001, the band blends the melancholy of post-punk with the power of gothic rock, drawing inspiration from Joy Division, The Sisters of Mercy, and Fields of the Nephilim. Following acclaimed albums such as Severance, Blind Scenes, and Mond, the band has built a strong international reputation through extensive touring and major festival appearances — most recently at Prophecy Fest 2025, plus a headline show at Petit Bain in Paris in May 2026. Renowned for their intense, emotionally charged live performances, Soror Dolorosa continues to push the boundaries of modern gothic music.
Luna Stage:
Future Faces (CH)
Hailing from the DIY underground of Geneva, Future Faces fuse the post-punk energy of the 80s with the captivating coldness of modern cold wave. Their music oscillates between ethereal sonic abysses and relentless industrial rhythms. Since their 2017 debut, they've forged their own path across three albums and live performances of rare intensity — each note a cry of rebellion, each silence a meditation on shared history.
Yakima Jera (DE)
Yakima Jera is a Munich-based duo producing synth rhythms and dance beats with vocals and guitar. Since 2022, they've been blending synth pop, dark wave, and electronic music with a touch of 80s sound — fascinated by the beauty of nature as much as the aesthetics of city darkness. A mélange of the joy of Joy Division, the poems of Patti Smith, and the bleakness of Black Metal.
monoblock b (CH)
Music like chewing on tinfoil – only way better. Born in Singapore and raised in Basel, Silvio Tommasini aka monoblock b has been active as a musician, performer, DJ and sound explorer since the early 1990s. Shaped by darkwave, industrial, punk and EBM, he blends dark soundscapes with technoid beats and distorted vocals – raw, intense, uncompromising. His one-man live performance fuses atmospheric ambient textures with hard-hitting EBM and darkwave. With more than 30 years of stage experience, monoblock b delivers a gripping sound of hypnotic intensity.
