🇪🇸 La Cendejas
8:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Born and raised in Madrid, La Cendejas (formerly known as Paula Cendejas) started her musical career by uploading covers on YouTube. She debuted as an artist in 2019 with the release of “Tu Cama" alongside singer Jesse Baez and Alizzz. After a string of singles, she released her debut EP “Contragolpe” in 2021, followed by her first studio album “FOMO” in 2023.
This year, she began rebranding as La Cendejas as she started promotion for her newest EP, “TSUNAMI”. Described as her most personal project to date, the six-track project explores themes of bravery and rawness, built off Cendejas’s personal experiences.
“For this project more than ever I needed to feel that energy, that sensitivity only woman can provide. A woman's comprehension. This was the only way I really felt I could pass on the message behind my songs, clearly and not under the vision of a male,” she says.
🇳🇱 Baby Berserk
8:35 PM - 9:05 PM
Dutch electronic no wave outfit Baby Berserk is making a thrilling return to venues worldwide. Their forthcoming album "Slightly Hysterical Girls With Pearls.” will be out this autumn, each song capturing a neon-lit world where anticipation builds, emotions run high, and self-expression reigns supreme. After a world tour, the band is back with a full-length record that pushes the boundaries of their eclectic sound.
Known for their seamless blend of music and fashion, Baby Berserk captures the essence of contemporary nightlife, balancing the raw energy of a live band with the infectious pulse of club music. Their latest work offers a refreshing and invigorating boost for the mind, body, and soul, building on a series of EPs and their debut self-titled album, released last September.
Prepare for a live show and album that’s as stylish and rebellious as the band itself—a soundtrack for those ready to take on the world with pearls around their necks and fire in their hearts. Baby Berserk is made up of Lieselot Elzinga, Eva Wijnbergen, and Mano Hollestelle.
🇪🇸 st. Pedro
9:10 PM - 9:40 PM
St. Pedro is the alias of the Canarian artist Pedro Hernández. After being a finalist on La Voz España (The Voice) in 2017, Pedro signed with Interscope Records and with management company Lionfish Entertainment.
Born in Tejina, a town on Tenerife Island in the Spanish’s Canary Islands, St. Pedro studied music at the Professional Conservatory of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where he trained in multiple disciplines including percussion and piano. This year, he won second place in Benidorm Fest for his song “Dos Extraños (Cuarteto de Cuerda).
His first studio album, “Esta Vida Que Elegí”, was released in February and represents a journey through those Latin American styles that have influenced the Canary Islands’ popular culture since the first decades of the 20th century.
🇳🇱 The Vices
9:45 PM - 10:15 PM
The Vices bring a contrasting mix of Britpop and surf rock. With childlike fun and relentless ambition, they can easily play tight and explosive or playful and danceable in both their recorded music and live performances. This has resulted in their club tours selling out, and Nothing But Thieves taking The Vices along as their support act to the big stages of Europe. The hype wont stop and is now spreading to the USA, where the band did their first ever 26-show headline tour this year.
The four-man band has graced the festival stages of Pinkpop, Sziget, and Zwarte Cross. They’ve even organised their own festival, ViceFest, and took it beyond their hometown of Groningen, Netherlands, to London, Gent and Berlin. They’ve released two successful albums, 2023’s “Unknown Affairs” and 2021’s “Looking For Faces”. Their latest single, “Wrong Ones”, was produced by alt-J and David Gilmour producer Charlie Andrew.
