In Vredes Naam 2026

With 8 bands, two stages (garden & concert hall) and a raw, energetic atmosphere, you'll immerse yourself in garage rock, punk, indie, shoegaze, hip-hop and electronic crossovers.

‍

This is not a good liberation festival, but a place where you get close to the artists, beat the bass and go home with mud behind your ears afterwards. Between moshing and headbanging, there is room for more: a freedom lunch, underground acts, a cultural side program and conversations about freedom with the city poet in the square opposite the Burger.

‍

In Vredes Naam is made for curious music lovers who love authenticity, innovation and a little bit contradictory. Music, encounter and social reflection come together here in an alternative celebration of freedom.

‍

Sharper, more abrasive and more urgent than ever: you can celebrate and feel freedom at In Vredes Naam.

‍Free, intense, and anything but mainstream. Don't miss it!

Line Up

‍

Snapped Ankles

This mysterious post-punk band from London creates' agrocultural-punktronica ', as they call it, in camouflage-like outfits and with bizarre, homemade wooden musical instruments. Snapped Ankles' live act borders almost on performance art, including a visual spectacle and theatrical performance. On their latest album 'Forest Of Your Problems', the band members mix their signature krautrock and post-punk influences with hypnotic electronic rhythms and industrial sounds.

‍

Iguana Death Cult

The Rotterdam quintet Iguana Death Cult initially made a name for themselves with dazzling, hard-hitting garage rock and acid-drenched psychedelia, before growing into a comprehensive band that incorporates elements of post-punk, krautrock, new wave, soul and disco into its music. Hypnotic surf melodies and fuzz sounds provide swirling mosh pits and inexhaustible energy.

‍

‍

Parker Fans

Parker Fans is a love triangle at full speed: a fuzzy boogie bromance that gives genres a new face with a joyful style shuffle. From gabber house flirts to hip-hop how-downs and breakbeat bonanzas, this Dutch trio has an unerring talent for unleashing unexpected chaos. Preferably of the exuberant type. Fully aware of the futility of too much fun, Parker Fans just dive in and provide excitement and unstoppable fun wherever they go.

‍Keenan Mundane

With gritty hip-hop beats, soulful lo-fi instrumentals and revealing lyrics, Keenan Mundane tells you his story. With nothing more than a microphone and a sampler. With influences from JPEGMAFIA, Earl Sweatshirt and MF DOOM, among others, he shows you a new look at the rugged sound of the United Kingdom and the United States. With his energetic mix and raging delivery, he makes the audience explode at every live show.

‍

‍

SOAP BOX

SOAPBOX is the rebellious voice of Glasgow's punk underground. Loud, unapologetic and fiercely independent, the band has built a reputation for exciting live shows, sold-out headline performances, and anthems that challenge the established order. The band is ready to set festival venues ablaze with their relentless energy and no-nonsense punk ethos.

‍

‍

‍C'est Qui?

C'est Qui? A groovy, garage, glamorous, filthy, rugged punk band. It looks like they escaped from “One flew over the cuckoos nest,” it feels like you're being hit in the face by a 10-ton truck, and it smells like shiny red pumps that just came out of the box. C'est qui? turns the whole thing inside out.

‍

CRAMP

KRAM is an alternative rock band known for its intense live energy, heavy guitars, and explosive anthems. “A group of musicians who manage to put on a powerful performance with protest songs, Irish bravura and heavy riffs,” says 3voor12.

‍

L. A. SAGNE

Harsh, energetic garage punk from Amsterdam. 2025 was a good year for the band, with shows at Noorderslag, Best Kept Secret, Paaspop, WildeWeide and Wildeburg, and tours with the Girls To The Front collective and Ploegendienst. High time for the debut album, which will be released in April 2026. Expect an all-out moshpit at IVN.
