The Grote Geelstaart
Netherlands
FINALIST 2024
With their unusual line-up, De Grote Geelstaart delivers a sound that is reminiscent of a combination of post-punk and post-rock. It's music as fresh as the fish the band is named after! The live show is full of energy; These 5 men play at a high tempo through their set filled with screaming guitars, angular rhythms and dizzying synths.
