Triple bill: Maria Iskariot + Stakattak + U-Boat Malfunction

Belgiums finest punk rock trash bands

Concert Punk 50: Celebrating 50 years of punk

Punk 50, is AB’s celebration of fifty years of chaos, freedom and bold expression. We honour the rich past, the vibrant present and the future of punk with exhibitions, films, talks, a ‘zine market and a hard-hitting line-up of international icons, Belgian legends and the new generation of punk musicians.

Maria Iskariot
The band led by frontwoman Helena Cazaerck surprised friends and foes alike in 2024 when they won Humo's Rock Rally with their in-your-face punk and sharp Dutch lyrics. After that, things moved quickly for the band, with many concerts at home and abroad and the release of their first EP, “EN/EN”. In October 2025, they will release their debut album “Wereldwaan”, which they will present at the AB Club.

Stakattak
The wild Belgian trash pop-punk trio released their fourth album, “Bullseye In The Opera”, in 2025. With their explosive, minimalist live shows, they have become a fixture on the European underground live scene. We are therefore delighted to be able to present them once again on an AB stage.

U-Boat Malfunction
Opening the evening will be U-Boat Malfunction, a gang of sixteen-year-old (!?!) creative types from Antwerp with buckets of talent and swagger. Not only do they know how to write songs, they also take to the stage as if they've never done anything else in their young lives. With their powerful punk rock, they are sure to make waves in the coming years.
