Festival Povaleč

This German-British crew has the potential to absolutely wreck the stage—in the best way possible. Expect a breakbeat explosion in the form of a live DJ set, fused with pounding drums and loud, in-your-face vocals. Whatever you do, don’t miss these maniacs. It’s gonna be pure mayhem.

Bratři (who are literally brothers) are like a hurricane on the Czech electronic scene. The twins Jiří and Ondřej move between EDM and techno. Live drums + modular synths = BFF. You can expect an uncompromising flow of electrifying energy.

The debut album LEPSIE NEBOLO NIKDY DOBRE NEBUDE (BETTER WAS NEVER GOOD IS NEVER GOING TO BE) is an honest and political statement of the times. The lead singer and guitarist of Shallov has traded English for Slovak, in which he touches on troubling, bleak and radical topics with even greater urgency and musical diversity. Musically, he has moved away from live drums and guitars and added piano, sampling or synths. The result is a combination of urgent epics in the form of radio pop songs along with the cynicism, unease and uncomfortable truthfulness of the lyrics.

Cringe Prince is not a prince, but a king. Period. His atmospheric funky samples will make your body move, his often improvised verses seamlessly transition from pensive melancholy to rapid-fire mode. Whether the subject of his lyrics is a critique of contemporary society or just a whimsical idea to stab Dominik Feri, he always remains authentic, topical, perfectly understandable, and most importantly, addictive. So if you don't know him, come in for a free first dose.

ILYHB are a Prague indie-pop band with English lyrics that has been touring foreign festivals for some time. Their music balances between euphoria and melancholy, and the lyrics reflect social events. The way they create and think about music is essential. Although the band members reflect on how they are changing in their new album something remains: energetic guitars, aggressive synthesizers and distinctive melodies.

The French duo Moaan Exis are storming back to Povaleč, louder and wilder than ever. Get ready for a massive blast of industrial metal mashed up with raw, no-compromise, in-your-face electronics. Their sound is pure energy — it hits hard, shakes your body, and messes with your head in the best way. Step into the chaos, let the noise wash over you, and ride those waves of intensity straight into a collective trance. And who knows — maybe you’ll come out the other side reborn.

There’s really no need to introduce Berta and Friends to our lounging, seaside-loving audience — after all, they’ve been sailing the Czech Sea for nearly a decade now. And guess what? They’re finally docking in Valeč to spread their good vibes! I’m jumping for joy: Yo-ho-ho!

Psychedelic fuzz and raw rock’n’roll collide in the Prague quartet Madhouse Express, who, in just a few years, have cemented their place as an undeniable powerhouse in Czech psychedelia and the beating heart of the scene. Get ready for a mind-bending theremin solo!
