POMME-GRENADE is a riot grrrl punk ba nd from Nijmegen with a clear message. They take a stand against sexism, r acism and xenophobia, and stand for feminism and equality. Every day bring s fresh reminders of how discrimination and violence continue to plague so ciety. POMME-GRENADE gives that frustration and emotion a voice, combining raw energy with sharp lyrics. Confrontational yet unifying.

The ban d embraces vulnerability alongside anger, and melody alongside chaos. This contrast is reflected in the name POMME-GRENADE, which captures their sty le: sweet and sour, gentle yet explosive. This duality comes to life in th eir live shows, where they draw the audience in and make them part of the experience.

The band consists of lead vocalist Mariana Mattijssen-Me ulman, bassist Jasmijn Schaars, guitarist Alwin Snoeijer and drummer Eric Timmer.

This year, Warming Up Festival is not asking how you can li ve more sustainably. It is asking why so many people, especially young peo ple, have tuned out of a conversation that may affect them more than anyon e.

Not out of indifference, but because of mental exhaustion. Becaus e of climate anxiety and guilt. Because of a system that places the emphas is on individual responsibility, while the biggest polluters and fossil fu el subsidies largely remain out of the spotlight. And sometimes also becau se a climate movement that seems to demand perfection rather than particip ation.

You can’t save the world alone. Fortunately, you don’t have t o. Warming Up Festival therefore takes a different approach: solidarity in stead of penance.

For three days, the festival brings together art, journalism, music and conversation around the question of how individual c hoices relate to systems that are largely beyond our control, and where we can actually make a difference as a collective. It is a festival that mak es room for imperfection, for doubt and for new forms of engagement.

Girls to the Front not only celebrates the div erse punk sounds created by FLINTA people making themselves heard across t he country, but also seeks to explore the intersectional struggles and sou rces of inspiration people encounter, whether through making zines or orga nising more interdisciplinary events featuring poetry, film discussions an d panel talks.

Girls to the Front hopes to build a community of FLIN TA people who can mosh together without constantly having to guard themsel ves against male dominance in spaces like these. Drawing inspiration from the Riot Grrrl movement, the initiative connects its legacy to contemporar y issues and struggles. Above all, Girls to the Front wants to bring FLINT A people to the forefront and create space for them to scream, mosh togeth er and celebrate their identities through punk, both as a music genre and as a way of life.
