Juno
Trondheim, Norway

Forged from the prestigious Jazz Academy in Trondheim, JUNO blasted onto the Norwegian scene in 2017 with their unique blend of pop-tinged, rap-infused, groove orientated improv-jazz. Featuring two vocals, sax, bass and drums, their catchy blend of complex grooves, rap and stellar improvisation makes for a compelling live show.

No Tongues
Nantes, France

Immersed in repertoires of ancestral songs from secular oral traditions, a No Tongues concert is a singular experience. This quartet embraces free jazz, folklore, soft drones and explosive percussion for a captivating global musical exploration. The result is stylistically diverse music that is atmospheric and mesmerizingly shamanic.

The Brums
Liège, Belgium

With a mix of brass synths and some intense beats, this quartet wants you to dance! Completely eschewing loops, everything is performed live with each musician helming multiple instruments to deliver an expansive and dynamic sound world. The result? A techno infused, beat-driven rollicking good time!
