Vikendica

Vikendica is a travelling festival-weekender for adventurous new music, connecting four iconic venues in The Netherlands. Resistor (Leiden), VERA (Groningen), WORM (Rotterdam) and OCCii (Amsterdam) join hands in showcasing a convoi exceptionnel of acts from Europe’s most vibrant underground scenes.

Named after a colloquial Western Balkans term for a weekend home, Vikendica simultaneously highlights the identity and ambience of independent clubs. After a successful 2024 edition, the nomadic event returns to WORM. Vikendica is an initiative by platform Yugofuturism.

LINEUP:

Atol Atol Atol (PL) are a fourpiece from the Polish city of Wrocław. They play a heady mix of no wave/post-punk/pre-punk. 

Alienbaby Collective (NL) is an experimental noise solo act. The act is the brainchild (maybe alter ego!?) of Liú Mottes, once of Amsterdam, now resident in Berlin, whose work has according to Rewire Festival, "brought stardust to the likes of Dutch alternative pop acts like Blue Crime and New YX." 

Avemaria (EE) are a fourpiece band who make funny, skanky, quizzical and punky guitar pop from the Estonian backwoods.

K not K (RO). Romanian futurist duo K not K (formally Karpov not Kasparov) makes music based on the rules and strategies of chess. It might seem complicated but the output is always danceable.
