Backstabbed / Support: Minus Youth - (D) Metal-Crossover
Backstabbed, also known as “Germany’s Heaviest Boygroup,” is back and hotter than ever! The crossover hardcore band from Offenburg has carved its own way since its inception in 2018 and stirred up the scene with its unique genre “Bound’ries Breakin’ Hardcore.” Their music? Raw hardcore energy, combined with influences from various styles – anything but ordinary and always danceable.
With three EPs, one LP, and several singles, Backstabbed has significantly shaped the German hardcore scene. Their sound? A mix of brutal hardcore elements like 2-step passages and massive breakdowns, paired with rap parts, epic metal riffs, and funky grooves. A true chaos that captivates you, surprises you, and breaks musical boundaries – uncompromising and simultaneously versatile. Their lyrics? Sharp, direct, and full of attitude – they stand against hate and incitement, fight for diversity, and make a strong statement for “Mental Health Awareness.”
In 2024, Backstabbed released four energetic singles that pave the way for the upcoming chapter. These songs are not only a testament to their artistic development but also a clear message: The band is hungry and ready to conquer the stages in Germany and beyond once again with their brutal sound and distinctive live energy.
With their unmistakable sound and the humorous attitude that has established them as “Germany’s Heaviest Boygroup,” Backstabbed remains true to their line: Hardcore lives, evolves, and always remains one thing: danceable!
Get ready, because in 2025 it will be: “Backstabbed’s Back Alright!”

Support: Minus Youth
MINUS YOUTH from the Stuttgart area are doing everything to burst with energy. The band hits you with hardcore that has groove, hardness, and plenty of flow.
The band was formed as the year 2016 was dying. A movement of former members from bands like Lion City, No End In Sight, Pessimistic Lines, and Nametaker. The band lives to play live, tours repeatedly through Germany and Europe, and has already shared the stage with bands like Terror, Modern Life Is War, Cro-Mags, Incendiary, Broken Teeth, Blacklisted, Deez Nuts, Higher Power, and, more importantly, many friendly and regional bands that keep the underground spirit alive. After the “Teenage Duty” demo (2017) and a split 7” (2017), the debut album titled “No Generation” was released in 2019. In December 2022, the continuation “Sun” followed, a 4-track EP on 10” vinyl - limited to 80 copies.
“Sun” is a reflection of ourselves. It brings to light the emotions that have built up over the last years of the pandemic. It’s about war, new life, depression, and self-destruction. In exactly that order. The 4 songs build on the album but are noticeably rougher, more honest, and more desperate. “Sun” not only brings light but also a lot of mosh. The EP is supported by a brutally screeched feature from Jess (Swoon).
