The 5th edition of GARF is underway.

Time flies, and we’re back stronger than ever. COVID, existential crises, and periods of self-doubt haven’t diminished our motivation or our philosophy. More than ever, we’re committed to returning to our core values: originality, exclusives, and special shows.

On Friday, September 18th, we promise you a high-energy, sweaty, and rockin’ evening. The rarely performed Dogs D’Amour, featuring guitarist Matty James Cassidy and his band “Vrais Vilains” just before, will be the London rockers who bring back all the urgency and authenticity to rock. Vardis, the NWOM boogie band, Mercury Riots, the young US coyotes, and the energetic local band Chilli Pom Pom Pee will complete a 100% pure rock lineup.

And what about Saturday, September 19th? We’re even more excited! Black N’ Blue, Starz, and Coney Hatch! Who can top this in terms of originality and exclusivity? In the melodic hard rock genre, which appeals to our loyal fans, FM, celebrating the 40th anniversary of their legendary debut album, Demon, one of the finest acts of the NWOBHM, Mystery, the best Belgian AOR band, and SteeLover, boasting a fantastic new album, will be the perfect complements to one of the GARF’s best lineups.

It’s up to you to make the party complete.
