MINDWAR (BE) + CURSELIFTER + SWELL

World’s Appreciated Kitsch presents: MINDWAR (BE) + CURSELIFTER + SWELL MINDWAR (hardcore mosh brigade, BE) Hailing from Belgium, Mindwar is a five-piece hardcore band delivering crushing riffs, heavy grooves, and no-nonsense mosh. Since forming in 2015, they’ve shared the stage with hardcore heavyweights including Agnostic Front, Sick Of It All, Cro-Mags, Madball, Merauder, Knuckle Dust, and Trapped Under Ice. Following the release of their debut LP Still At War on Triple B Records in 2023, Mindwar hit the road across Europe on the 2024 Rebellion Tour alongside Madball, Scowl, Sunami, and The Chisel. They followed it up with appearances at festivals including Jera On Air, Return To Strength, Abyss Festival, and AAK Family Fest, plus their first-ever Asia tour. In 2025, the band expanded their reach with shows across the Basque Country, Italy, Finland, the UK, and beyond. Mindwar continues to take their brand of worldwide hardcore to new territories—with more to come in 2026 and beyond. World Wide Hardcore. https://bbbrecords.bandcamp.com/album/still-at-war CURSELIFTER (metallic hardcore, NL) Curselifter delivers aggressive metallic hardcore that guarantees two-stepping, stage diving, and fighting your friends. With their inciting lyrics they take a stand against all forms of injustice and oppression. They leave a lasting impression after every show, both locally and abroad — and they’re nowhere near done. With new tracks on the way and relentless drive, Curselifter is ready to push even harder in 2026/2027; back to Occii after that crazy show with Contention in June 2025! https://curselifter.bandcamp.com/ SWELL (groovy hardcore, NL) SWELL will blow you away with their groovy hardcore. They have been making waves in the scene since their debut EP ‘Mercy Never Wanted Me’. Combining brutal riffs with vocals that cut deep and take you to a semi-melodic climax that feels different than what you’re used to. They have toured all over Europe and everywhere they go they impress with their tight live performances. Their latest split EP ‘Becoming The Posse’ is a statement: SWELL is here to stay and ready to dominate the future of hardcore. https://swellposse.bandcamp.com/ Poster by https://www.instagram.com/griffin_invisible Presale/door prices adjusted: our events are set up by volunteers in favour of supporting DIY touring acts, but it is getting ever more risky to plan and book events – please support the community and buy your tickets early!
