Get ready for an electrifying experience at Ratrock, the free outdoor music festival set to rock Harelbeke, Belgium, on September 14, 2024. Join us for a day of unforgettable performances featuring a diverse lineup of bands from around the world. Here’s a sneak peek at who’s taking the stage this year:
Empty Bottles (BE): Hailing from Waregem/Kortrijk/Ieper, this punk/streetpunk band formed in 2008, delivers drinking tunes that will have you shouting along, while they critique the scene and jolt your conscience.
Millie Manders and the Shut Up (UK): Since 2015, this Norwich-based punk/ska band has been keeping audiences on their feet with high-octane, attitude-filled performances that are almost unpleasantly addictive.
Constrained: This group of lads decided it was time to get their act together and are bringing their unique sound to the Ratrock stage.
Odonata X1 French psychedoommetal band. Dark progressive sound with ancient spirits inside.
The Vile (UK): Straight from Nottingham, this hardcore punk band, established in 2011, brings chaos, destruction, and provocation with their relentless punk disorder.
Mirexxx ft. Veronica Rose (BE): Since 2007, this Leuven/Mechelen-based Punk Electro/Dark Electro EBM band has captivated audiences with energetic performances, distorted vocals, aggressive sounds, and nightmarish atmospheres.
PUTAN CLUB: A 70% female trio from Italy and France, blending feminism, electricity, electronics, and savagery. Imagine Skrillex meeting Meshuggah in a trance-inducing, dance-defying, high-tension performance.
Slovenians: Explosive punk rock meets the gritty vibes of stoner and blues. Known for their raw energy and magnetic stage presence, this band is more than just music—they are an unmissable live experience.
Big Ass Lizards (BE): From Kasterlee, this band mixes rock, folk, punk, and rock ‘n’ roll, creating a sound that invites you to put on your dancing shoes—think Levellers meets Gogol Bordello.
Larva (ES): From Barcelona, this Dark Electro band, active since 1998, tackles social issues with a powerful sound, incorporating more noise and hardness into their intense performances.
The Downsetters (UK): Formed in 2011 in Ipswich, this skafusion band blends dynamite reggae with enough energy to divert a lightning strike back into space—prepare for an almighty extravaganza!
#Fifty Foot Combo (BE): Since 1994, this Ghent-based band has been thrilling audiences with their Monstrophonic Sound, a dirty, stomping, sexy, loud, and infectious fuzz-surf that’s both thrillingly hot and exciting.
