Attention punk & hardcore fans: After more than 20 years there is an incredible comeback, the Reconstruction Tour is back in Switzerland! On Sunday, May 18, 2025 Pennywise, Propagandhi, Comeback Kid, The Iron Roses and Dead Pioneers will play at X-TRA in Zurich.
Pennywise, founded in 1988 in Hermosa Beach, California, is one of the most influential bands of the second wave of SoCal punk. At a time when punk was largely unpopular and metal dominated, they developed their unique style: a blend of Californian hardcore, melodic surf punk and optimistic anthems that clearly stood out from the darker tones of their era. The band has battled through continuous line-up changes over the years, but has always maintained its uncompromising, energetic sound. Their best-known songs include the rebellious anthem Fuck Authority, the introspective classic Alien and the legendary track Bro Hymn.
Canadian punk veterans with a clear message and cult status: Propagandhi have stood for a clear anti-fascist message in their music for over 30 years. With their mix of political hardcore punk, progressive thrash and critical lyrics, they have earned themselves a firm place in the international punk scene.
Hardcore without borders: The Canadians Comeback Kid are one of the leading bands in the modern hardcore scene. With their energetic mix of hardcore and punk, they have created a unique identity that is characterized by continuous development. The band refuses to be categorized and remains true to their principle of going their own way.
The Iron Roses are a punk band that combines music with a clear message: Change and resistance against the injustices of our time. Founded by Nathan Gray, the former lead singer of Boysetsfire, the band brings an authentic and powerful blend of melody and protest to the stage.
Dead Pioneers are more than just a band - they are a musical project that combines art and activism. Founded by performance artist Gregg Deal, the band serves as an extension of his artistic work, focusing on themes of identity, resistance and the indigenous experience.
Honest, powerful and full of passion, the Reconstruction Tour 2025 promises an unforgettable evening of pulsating punk rock and infectious hardcore. A unique experience that true fans of these genres should not miss out on. Tickets are available via ticketcorner.ch.
