British punk legends “Discharge”, pioneers of the D-beat sound and one of the most influential bands in the history of hardcore punk, are finally coming to Belgrade for their first-ever concert in the Serbian capital. The long-awaited show will take place on 20th of February next year at Zappa Barka, thanks to “MM concerts” and “Serbian hellbangers”.
Since forming in 1977, “Discharge” have established themselves as one of the most important and influential acts in the history of punk and extreme music. Their stripped-down, aggressive sound, characterized by relentless rhythms, distorted guitars and politically charged lyrics, helped define the D-beat subgenre and inspired countless bands across punk, hardcore and metal. Their influence extends far beyond the original punk scene, with their distinctive approach to music leaving a lasting mark on generations of musicians and contributing to the development of numerous underground genres. After decades of shaping the global extreme music scene, Discharge will finally bring their legendary sonic assault to Belgrade.
The evening will also feature three domestic bands, making this a particularly exciting gathering for fans of underground music. “The Corrosion”, the cult garage rock band from Novi Sad, will return to the stage after an extended hiatus. Their appearance on February 20 will be a welcome opportunity to see these local veterans back in action. Joining them will be “Smrt Razuma” is a hardcore punk/thrash outfit known for its distinctive blend of underground sounds and uncompromising live performances. Their explosive combination of hardcore aggression and thrash metal intensity promises to add another dimension to the evening. The lineup will also feature “Mad Mane” one of the newest speed/thrash metal bands on the Belgrade scene. This young four-piece brings an untamed energy and a fast, aggressive approach that should make their performance a perfect addition to the bill.
Tickets are on sale from 18th of November online through Gigstix, with early bird costing 2.500 RSD, regular presale 3.500 RSD, while tickets at the door will cost 4.500 RSD.
