AUGER – UK – !INFEST DEBUT!
Dark rock project fusing elements of rock and pop with energy, power and melody at their core – a hyper-melodic, genre-fluid, dark music act. Having conquered over 70 cities across 8 countries we are very pleased to finally host them at Infest 25!

BLACKBOOK – CH – !INFEST DEBUT!
Ladies and gentlemen, tune your radios to a frequency that defies the ordinary, for you are about to embark on a journey like no other. A modern blend of futurepop, darkwave, synthwave, and darkpop for our secret society who know that being an outsider is a badge of honor while we dance in the moonlight of non conformity.

EISFABRIK – DE – !!UK DEBUT!!
An art project featuring the four ice cream factory owners Dr. Snow, The Frost, °Celsius and Fahrenheit. Musically they move somewhere between dark electro and future pop. Always catchy and VERY cool!

HARPY – UK – !INFEST DEBUT!
Nu-Goth artist Harpy burst onto the music scene supporting Wargasm in 2023 weaving a seductive mix of industrial, trance inducing dark techno and heavy weight rock to create music that is sexually charged with powerful feminine rage. We are thrilled to welcome the ‘Goth Metal Mommy’ to Infest 25!

HEARTLAY – FR – !INFEST DEBUT!
A cold curiosity from Paris the City of Light, a genre-defying act that embraces creative freedom. Fusing elements of modern metal with cutting-edge electronica, industrial hints, cathartic lyricism and cinematic atmospheres, their sonic and visual statement blurs the lines between grace and destruction.

HOLY BRAILLE – UK – !INFEST DEBUT!
Full of emotional turmoil, stark, dark and goth! All tracks are random in electronic sounds and conquer whatever synths are at hand at the time of creation. A Darkwave soundtrack to Holy life.
Not to be missed!

JUNKIE KUT – UK – !INFEST DEBUT!
Destroying traditional genre boundaries. Fusing Industrial, Punk and Metal with Speedcore, Gabba, Acid & Trance. At home in the Industrial / Alternative scene, and the Hardcore / Speedcore world. You’ve never seen anything like this!

LIZETTE LIZETTE – SE – !INFEST DEBUT!
Since the release of debut album ‘Queerbody’ they have had a steadily growing fanbase in home country Sweden, as well as in Europe and the US. Now back with fourth album ”LaQueer”, which musically and visually takes place among the New York club kids, expect an unpredictable and captivating live show for their first UK show in 10 years.

MUTA-SCUM – UK – !INFEST DEBUT!
Begun as an experiment with poor quality software and no idea of how to write decent music. A lucky software win at the Infest charity raffle in 2007 solved one of those problems. Almost two decades and one or two style tweaks later, it now fuses a unique blend of industrial, breakbeat, and noise with the occasional melody thrown in.

PETROL BASTARD – UK – !INFEST DEBUT!
A tw*tty electropunk bullsh*t band, a tour de force who after 12 years touring the UK, are becoming increasingly unpopular. Hard electronic dance music, swearing, mindless cartoon violence, and terrible dance moves. They’ll also give you what they describe as an “angry fiddle” behind the bins after the gig if you’re interested…

PISTON DAMP – NO – !!UK DEBUT!!
The primary spark was ignited in 2000 while brother Stephan was on the APB Welcome To Earth Tour. Jonas had full access to the House Of APB studio, so he and Truls began experimenting with the equipment and writing songs… They have cranked up the machine again and are smashing it… Do not miss this!

PROJECT PITCHFORK – DE – !MANCHESTER DEBUT!
Hamburg-based Project Pitchfork started in 1989, primarly inspired by electronic New Wave artists such as Ultravox, The Human League, Invisible Limits, early Skinny Puppy, and the more pop-oriented era of SPK. Project Pitchfork are one of the biggest and best-loved acts on the German Darkwave scene, and a firm favourite with the Infest family.

SANS-FIN – DE – !!UK DEBUT!!
He found his home in the rhythm’n’noise scene, and drew inspiration from glitch IDM, developing his style in the direction of the bleaker department of dance music: visceral, industrial techno with a definite emphasis on the industrial side of things, and rhythm’n’noise with focus on heavy beats, punching bass drums and hypnotic basslines.

WILLIAM BLEAK – DE – !!UK DEBUT!!
“They write songs as if recalling the most traumatic night of their lives and all of the bad decisions that got them there. “ -alt77
A perfect fusion of Dance Punk sensibilities and Cold Wave despair. A jarring synthesis, lethal to the senses.

WINKIE – US – !!UK DEBUT!!
Crafting a kind of apocalyptic soundtrack for the emotionally unhinged, New York band Winkie shouldn’t exist, but somehow it does. In a world increasingly awash with the inauthentic, they remain a stark anomaly – a dark noisy force that pulls you under.
