Future Palace

Future Palace bring their Berlin-bred post-hardcore to Hydrozagadka in Warsaw, Poland, on 29 September 2026. The trio — vocalist Maria Lessing, guitarist Manuel Kohlert and drummer Johannes Früchtenicht — shape a sound that draws from metalcore, alternative rock and electronic textures. Tight drums and incisive guitars leave room for synth layers, while Maria shifts between clean melodies and abrasive screams, giving each track a steady tension and release.

Formed in the late 2010s, the band first surfaced with a string of singles before releasing Escape in 2020 and Run in 2022 on Arising Empire. Their writing leans on contrasts: aggressive passages cut by more melodic sections, weight giving way to air, moments of restraint before a break opens wide. Lyrics circle mental health, conflicted relationships and the work of personal repair, handled with directness rather than grand statements. Regulars of club and festival stages across Europe, Future Palace refine a live set that balances introspection with a shared catharsis, tailored to a room like Hydrozagadka.
