July 23rd. SUPPORTS: WABR + THOR KISSING .
Who gave these five idiots instruments to play? And why are these songs so catchy, yet so angry?
NEST is a scrapbook of frustration with Dutch lyrics that’ll have you crying and music that will have you flying (over the dance floor). They take everything that rubs them the wrong way, devour it and spit it back out. Is it pop? Is it punk? Is it ska? No, it’s NEST, and they are releasing their debut EP In de Zeik at ACU.
With the iconic Thor Kissing and the ever-charming WABR as supports, they will turn your frown upside down and shake your zelfbeeld.

EECtronic open stage
https://acu.nl/events/20260818/eectronic-open-stage-21
August 18th. For all your EECtronic experiments.
Buildup starts at 19:00.
The bar is open at: 19:00
We start playing around 20:00 – 20:30.
We do generally not use the stage. Half a circle of tables is set up on the floor. If you arrive at 19:00 you can claim a spot and have roughly 1 – 1,5 hour to setup and mingle and be there for your line check. Everyone who shows up at 19:00 gets 10 minutes to play. All forms of Electronic experiments and all genres are welcome. This is the place to be if have been planning to try out your DIY solder experiments, give your sampler a try, Make clever poetry with a looper pedal and some field recordings, wanted to use your synthesiser for a crowd, like to make some harsh noise walls, want to live code visuals on your laptop or are a DIY instrument enthusiast in general. Go wild.
Note if you are an electric guitar player and you don’t have a need for a table then this event is probably not for you.
This is a night for people who want to use their guitar as a midi controller, let it be played by circuitbent roomba, push it trough a modular synth or mangle it in an other way past any form of recognition.
Practical stuff:
We have DI’s, a projector with an HDMI cable, tables to put your gear on, microphone stands, microphones lights and a PA system .
Our assumption is that everyone has a single mono or stereo output.
Let us know if you need more than that hour to setup (this includes the line check), or if you have some unusual outputs. -> eectronicopenstage at acu dot nl.
Entrance: Free.

WYATT E. (transcendental doom)
https://acu.nl/events/20260903/wyatt-e-transcendental-doom
September 3rd. dB's in ACU presenteert.
De Belgische formatie 𝗪𝗬𝗔𝗧𝗧 𝗘. presenteert Zamaru Ultu Qereb Ziqquratu
Part 1, een monumentaal werk dat de luisteraar meeneemt op een
instrumentale reis. De band staat bekend om hun unieke mix van zware
doom en drone, verweven met hypnotiserende, oosterse melodieën. Dit
album dompelt je onder in een sfeer van oude rituelen en vergeten
mythen, rechtstreeks uit het oude Mesopotamië. De muziek bouwt geduldig
op met zware, repetitieve gitaarriffs die een trance-achtige staat
teweegbrengen. Een intense en filmische luisterervaring.
Muzikaal beweegt Wyatt E. zich in het landschap van instrumentale drone
en doom metal, met duidelijke invloeden uit psychedelische rock en
ambient. De sound wordt gekenmerkt door zware, uitgesponnen
gitaarpartijen en hypnotiserende melodieën die geïnspireerd zijn op
Midden-Oosterse muziek. De aanpak roept vergelijkingen op met de
meditatieve zwaarte van acts als Om en de atmosferische soundscapes van
Earth.
𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗽: 𝗱𝗲𝘇𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗖𝗨 𝗲𝗻 𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗽 𝗱𝗲 𝗩𝗟𝗣.

FERAL + Eyesores + Designer Violence
https://acu.nl/events/20260925/feral-eyesores-designer-violence
September 25th. Silent Call Collective presents.
Silent Call Collective presents:
FERAL
FERAL is an untamed Spanish/American duo from Amsterdam featuring pounding beats and chainsaw guitar riffs that sound like the Cosmic Psychos and Atari Teenage Riot went out for a night of heavy drinking and started a band together. Their original songs are a breath fresh electronic air in a synth-heavy egg-punk world and the surprising selection of cover songs ranges from obscure Spanish 80’s post-punk to the 60’s with Los Brincos and from The Stooges to country music singer Roger Alan Wade. The end result is a banger of a debut album that never bores and most of all blasts the hell out of any other electro-punk act today.
Eyesores
When something disturbs you, your first instinct may be to look away, but Eyesores are something you cannot unsee. Not because they’re pleasant, but because they linger. Eyesores hold a mirror in front of that which you would much rather destroy. This hunger for confrontation translates itself into quick, garage-punk tracks doused in gasoline and then set ablaze.
For fans of: The Chats, Osees, Stiff Richards and Teen Mortgage.
Designer Violence
When you think of the words “designer violence”, what do you think about? Whatever it is, it’s probably not the shredded guitars, grinding bass and funky disco beats that electro weirdo band Designer Violence dishes out, transforming your local near-bankrupt establishment into either a bunker, or the greatest rock arena you’ve ever seen. You decide which it’ll be…

September 11th. EKKO in ACU Band Night.
ROUSING INDIE ROCK WITH A GRITTY EDGE FROM LUXEMBOURG
Francis of Delirium is the project of Jana Bahrich, the Luxembourg-based indie rock artist who is rapidly making a name for herself. With a sound that blends grunge, folk, and power pop, she writes emotionally charged songs full of raw guitars and vulnerable, direct lyrics. Following her acclaimed debut album ‘Lighthouse’ and tours with bands including Blondshell, Soccer Mommy, and Wolf Alice, Francis of Delirium continues to build at a rapid pace. With a new album coming out in May and a growing international live reputation, she demonstrates that Luxembourg is firmly on the indie rock map.

https://acu.nl/events/20261118/lezard-post-punk-disco
November 18th. EKKO x ACU Band Night.
DISCOPUNK THAT FALLS BETWEEN CHAOS AND THEATRE
Lézard balances on the cutting edge of comedy and tragedy with an explosive mix of post-punk, disco, glam rock, new wave, and electroclash. Their debut album ‘Que Se Passe t-il’ feels like a chaotic diorama in which heartbreakers, dreamers, and escapists gather under a shattered disco ball, trapped in infectious and rebellious disco-punk. With their first singles, the band rapidly grew into a live sensation, with shows at festivals such as Best Kept Secret, Pukkelpop, and Eurosonic. They bring a theatrical show full of groove, absurdity, and sharp observations to the stage.

UTRECHT’S VERY OWN HIGH ENERGY ROCK WITH A PUNK MENTALITY
John Coffey is one of the most explosive bands The Netherlands have ever spawned. Using punk and rock-‘n-roll as a container for all their energy, David Achter de Molen and his band mates have built a reputation reaching from Russia to the United States, conquering countless festival stages across Europe. In 2016, they unexpectedly took a hiatus, only to return six years later, more menacing than ever. Their comeback came with sold out shows, massive festivals and a new generation of fans, and their DIY spirit culminated in their very own Coffey Fest. The band has cemented itself as a voice on social justice and political urgency, and still is a collective that thrives on tension and friction.

SHOEGAZE AGAINST ABUSE
Crashing and Rampoline Productions are proud to host ‘Shoegaze Against Abuse’, a fundraiser for Centrum Seksueel Geweld
Speaking up against abuse both within and outside of the music industry, we present a night of support, music, food and community to everyone willing to join the fight against sexual misconduct and injustice.
Shoegaze heavy hitters Crashing indulge in noisy reverberated hooks, intense live performances and raw unfiltered volume with a strong emphasis on DIY culture. Be prepared for immersive noise and hard hitting tracks crafted not only to be heard, but to be physically felt. Bring earplugs.
Fernweh creates a mixture between shoegaze and post punk. Inspired by artists like black midi and julie, Fernweh shifts from fragile and dynamic verses to heavy breakdowns, bringing walls of sound that’ll pierce your eardrums and resonate in every corner of a room.
Before the bands, there will be a live panel held with industry experts. Speaking on how to spot red flags in abusers, and much more.

SNACKBAR
In 2026 keert SNACKBAR terug vanuit de Amsterdamse krochten naar het podium, met vers bloed en nieuwe muziek. Verwacht een fatale dosis feministische hardrock met krijsende orgels, snijdende gitaren en dwingende punkritmes. In 2024 kwam hun eerste EP uit, een tweede is onderweg.
In de punt van de aanval powervrouw FVH, nog altijd vurig met een boodschap. Het doel: meer ruimte opeisen voor vrouwen en andere gemarginaliseerde groepen. Het middel: luide, directe, Nederlandstalige herrie. Andere bronnen van inspiratie zijn het absurde allerdaagse, de door tl-balken verlichtte buurtsnackbar, de bruine kroeg en vooral het opgroeien als vrouw. Het resultaat is een chaotische ontploffing van feministische punk en 70s hardrock
DESIGNER VIOLENCE
When you think of the words ‘designer violence’, what do you think about? Whatever it is, it’s probably not the shredded guitars, grinding bass and funky disco beats that electro weirdo Designer Violence dishes out, transforming your local near-bankrupt establishment into either a bunker, or the greatest rock arena you’ve ever seen.

WAVECRASH REVIVAL
https://acu.nl/events/20260725/wavecrash-revival
July 25th. minimal wave / synth punk / ebm / post punk / dark wave.
Camy Huot is back at ACU, and she’s back with a vengeance. It’s at this point hard to believe the French performance artist and producer started out as a volunteer behind our bar, and actually started out DJing in our venue. The underground got too small quickly and now she flies her hybrid set all over the world like a very glamorous bat.
For one night only, she’s back at ACU with a revival of the first party she ever organized: Wavecrash. Watch out for rats.
This event is a Rampoline Productie
