VARSOVIE (10:30 PM)
(Post punk - Icy Cold Records - Grenoble, FR)
Between post-punk and dark rock, VARSOVIE was formed in 2005 in Grenoble by Arnault Destal (drums, lyrics, music) and Grégory Cathérina (vocals, guitars, music). Since then, the band has released 6 albums and 2 EPs and played over a hundred shows across Europe.
"Notes pour plus tard" is the 6th album by VARSOVIE, (16-10-2026 / Icy Cold Records). Continuing with French lyrics and a nervous yet twilight style, this new album keeps reformulating the convulsions of the era through singular figures and tense landscapes.
The 3 influences: Joy Division, Interpol, Alain Bashung

ALIEN TEARS (9:30 PM)
(Dark wave - Tours, FR)
At the crossroads of post-punk and darkwave, Alien Tears builds a cold mass where rage, bitterness, and melancholy blend into an electric catharsis. Amidst hazy keyboards, heavy and fast rhythms, and chorus-laden guitars, a deep, distant voice resonates like a cry in the void.
Their self-titled EP, released in 2024, features six captivating tracks with dense synthetic textures, balancing emotional proximity and cosmic distance.

ANTIFER (8:30 PM)
(Coldwave - Icy cold Records - Paris, FR)
ANTIFER bridges guitars, synths, melodies, and danceable rhythms in a cold yet luminous universe, where melancholy turns into energy. Combining electronic tension, incisive guitars, and hypnotic grooves, the collective composes contemporary new wave that is immersive and resolutely live.
After releasing several singles and an EP, their first album, *STELLA MANTIS* (Icy Cold Records, 2026), marks a new milestone and accompanies their stage performance, where their sonic and visual universe fully comes to life.
The 3 influences: Taxi Girl, Electric Youth, Rendez-vous
