Music Against The Grain – September 26 @ Skatecafé
On Thursday, September 26, VOID presents Music Against The Grain: a one-day festival celebrating the art of boundary-defying music. Expect a collision of punk, rap, dub, techno, post-punk, and everything in between.
Headlining the night is ESG, the legendary NYC dance/punk outfit, performing their final European show, alongside the long-awaited Dutch debut of Memphis rap pioneer Shawty Pimp. The lineup brings together cult innovators, fierce live acts, and local underground heroes for a night that bends genres and breaks norms.
Before the nighttime program kicks off, Echobox takes over Skatecafé for a daytime broadcast (16:00–22:00) with live shows, DJ sets, and talks.
