ZAPHYRIA
Cinetol
Fri 4 Sep
Rock

The four-piece delivers confrontational lyrics via distorted guitar riffs, slapping bass lines, and chaotic drum patterns. Live, the frontwoman effortlessly commands the audience with her raw charisma and contrasting presence, while the rest of the band throws themselves into mosh pits and stagedives without hesitation.

Paradiso
Thu 10 Sep
Garage rock, Psychedelic rock
Ty Segall, an overproductive garage rocker, showcases his sixteenth album 'Possession'. The album explores new horizons under a vast sky of the border empire, taking listeners on a high-octane narrative journey with an intense look at typically American stories.
