Krav Boca + Emirhan X

Eight-headed rap-punk circus delivers a masked headbutt to the face of the establishment

Every revolution needs a soundtrack. Krav Boca has already taken on that job. This masked French-Moroccan-Greek punk circus mixes socially critical rap lyrics with aerial acrobatics, fireworks, and filthy DIY punk energy. Oh yes, and they also have a mandolin: a touch of Greek melancholy amidst the violence of an iconoclastic storm.

All the ingredients for a multicultural punk ritual like you've never seen before. Wherever they go, they wreak havoc, from a riot in the center of Bordeaux to a rugby stadium in Casablanca. But however overstimulating and eclectic a Krav Boca show is, their message is simple: the world is going to hell, so sharpen your knives and jump into that pan-European mosh pit.

SUPPORT: EMIRHAN X

Rapper, singer, producer, and… city poet of Venlo!? No, Emirhan X is not your standard rapper, nor your standard poet. This creative jack-of-all-trades operates in the dark alley between hip-hop, poetry, punk, and boombam. His lyrics are sharp, dangerous, urban, and topical – but above all: spot-on, like a punch to the stomach. Never knew poetry could be so punk.
