This TDOV, come see a gritty depiction of trans life through the eyes of Louise Weard! We're screening parts i and ii of the Castration anthology in the venue, and the cafe will be available as a chill space to relax and find community.

Alongside the screening at ACU in Utrecht, Snackbar Frieda (Rotterdam) and Opstand (The Hague) are organising Castration events on the same day 💜🖤 Donations to support the creator, organisers, and venues are very welcome.

——————————

part i, chapter 1: INCEL SUPERMAN follows Turner finding out that life is very unfair, actually.
part ii, chapter 2: TRAPS SWAN PRINCESS shows Michaela as she supports herself and her friends, while navigating marginalised spaces and identities.
part iii, chapter 3: POLYGON!!!! HEARTMODER depicts a tight-knit trans community as it closes ranks and creates an alternative to the horrors of the outside world.

We've made a stupid mistake, and accidentally refunded your ticket to Wednesday's shoegaze show with Thrilled and Fernweh.

Unfortunately, Stager does not allow us to undo this action. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase a new ticket for the show.

Your original purchase will be refunded to your bank account within a few working days.
We don't want you to pay service fees again, so a new, cheaper ticket option is now available on our ticket site as a way of saying sorry.

Get a new ticket at https://acu.nl/events/20260325/shoegaze-thrilled-no-one-for-miles-ep-release-show-support-fernweh and select "we fucked up so get a cheaper ticket"

Alternatively, you can come to ACU on Wednesday and buy a new ticket at the door, also at a discount.

See you Wednesday!!

MOSH AGAINST MONARCHY III

ACU, Sunday, April 26 at 08:00 PM GMT+2

Rotten Tooth Punk and Silent Call Collective present: MOSH AGAINST MONARCHY III

After two sold out editions, Mosh Against Monarchy is on April 26th at ACU!

Becoming A.D.

Hailing from Northeast Belgium, Becoming A.D. is a 4-piece crossover band, delivering a crushing mix of hard-hitting mosh breaks and relentless neck-snapping thrashy metalcore riffs. Lyrically the band dives deep into themes of despair, self-doubt, abuse of authority and exploitation.

Hometown Crew

Hometown Crew is a 5-piece Youth Crew/Hardcore Punk band from Weert, The Netherlands. Since their formation in 2014, the band has been playing shows all over Europe and working on perfecting their unique sound, which combines influences from bands like Go It Alone, Bane, Modern Life is War, and Carry On.

Cold Grip

Emerging from the hardcore underground of Weert, Cold Grip has been delivering raw, unfiltered metallic hardcore since 2022. Blending crushing riffs, aggressive breakdowns, and emotionally charged lyrics, the band channels themes of fear, loss, self-discovery, and existential struggle into their relentless sound.

Doors: 20:00

Start: 20:30

Tickets: €8-€12 through acu.nl

Continue screamo spring with friends from Italy and @rotten.tooth.punk skramz in @acu.nl :

@konohaskramz 木ノ葉 // Modena, Italy
The sound fuses the emotional weight of Italian and French screamo with the edge of European post-hardcore, creating something deeply relatable.

@chevalier.emoviolence // Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Chevalier was born in the summer of 2024 from the hugs and screams of a changing scene.
Straight from scattered places along the nearby Via Emilia, they represent one of the youngest and freshest realities of the local screamo scene.
Like the most powerful summer storm, they bring an emoviolence sound to its extreme creating a mix with powerviolence, noise and hardcore.

@karnabahar_bloemkool_coliflor // The Netherlands
Old-school screamo meets Balkan folk music. Expect melancholic melodies and chaotic rhythms.
