FITFEST #2 Our own Festival!

Boost Your Heart Rate at Fitfest: Maximum Energy at De Helling!

Are you ready to push your pulse to a record high? FIT is dropping a brand-new EP, and that can only mean one thing: a new edition of Fitfest! Just like last time, the most energetic noise and postpunk friends are gathering at De Helling for a night fueled by pure adrenaline. During this mini-festival, you’ll experience the raw power of the Dutch and British guitar scenes, with FIT as the ultimate “finisher.”

The Line-up to Keep You Moving:

• FIT: The Postpunk Powerhouse ⚡

  From a massive 39-show tour to supporting The Prodigy, FIT is moving faster than ever. In just over a year, they’ve transformed into the “post-punk pearls” of the Netherlands. Their new EP is a collection of high-intensity tracks—a mix of shoegaze, hip-hop, and ska designed to get you out of your comfort zone. FIT is leaner and meaner than ever, ready to demolish the stage. Are you fit enough to keep up?

• Bones Ate Arfa (UK): Wild Alt-Rock Energy 

  Get ready for “junkyard dog riffs.” This British trio blends street punk with desert rock. Heavyweights like Muse and Royal Blood are already in the fan club, and you’re next. Prepare for an hour of intense movement; it’s the ultimate sonic cardio session that will leave you breathless.

• Native James (UK): The Next Gen Rap-Metal 

  Rap-metal is back and stronger than ever. Native James fuses neck-breaking metal riffs with modern grime. It’s the perfect soundtrack for those who thrive on chaos and maximum effort. Dust off your energy and get ready to go all out.

• Bowl: Post-Punk Elite 

  FIT is keeping it in the family! Frontman Vos Ploeg is the brother of FIT’s lead singer, Ide. Bowl has long outgrown their status as local heroes, now standing as one of the top post-punk bands in the country with “stats” from festivals like Best Kept Secret and Grauzone. Their set is a masterclass in rhythm and endurance.

• Smudged: Rotterdam Ecstasy 

  Straight from the underground: Smudged. These four shirtless, green-painted performers mix krautrock and techno into a show that defies explanation. Prepare for a visual and musical workout that pushes your senses to the limit.

Let’s move! Don’t miss out on this chance to test your stamina. Grab your spot and feel the burn at Fitfest.
