After a successful Eastern European tour in 2024, which you can read about here, hardcore heavyweights Madball are gearing up to return to Europe with a powerful series of live shows. The tour kicks off on May 17th at Antwerp Metal Festival in Belgium and spans 12 cities across 9 countries, featuring a mix of major festivals and intimate club venues. It runs through mid-August.
The lineup features appearances at some of Europe’s most respected punk and hardcore events, such as Rockstadt Extreme Fest in Romania, Punk Rock Holiday in Slovenia and BayFest in Italy. Between these festivals, Madball will also perform on underground stages in cities like Freiburg, Poznań and Zwickau, bringing their unmistakable East Coast hardcore to longtime supporters and new fans alike.
The band’s set promises to deliver the raw energy and intensity that have made them a cornerstone of the hardcore community for over three decades. With a reputation built on authenticity, intensity and loyalty to the scene, Madball’s presence in Europe this summer will be loud, direct and unmistakably real!
