After the Monster Bash takes place in Munich for the first time in its third year and the Berlin edition kicks off over two days at the Maifeld in Olympiapark, this year's lineup is also impressive: with RISE AGAINST and PENNYWISE confirmed, the Zenith in Munich and the Maifeld in Berlin will be transformed into a cauldron of energy. Also joining the lineup are: POLAR BEAR CLUB, TITLE FIGHT, THE STORY SO FAR
and TIM VANTOL.
There’s not much more to say about RISE AGAINST from Chicago. With their current album “Endgame” , the four likable political punk rockers have firmly established themselves at the top and are undoubtedly one of the most successful punk rock bands of recent years. Through years of consistent touring and with six outstanding albums, Tim McIllrath, Joe Principe, Brandon Barnes, and Zach Blair have managed to win the hearts of their fans and are ultimately proof that political and social engagement can also be successful.
After their nearly sold-out tour in spring 2012, RISE AGAINST is now returning to Germany for two concerts. The performances at the MONSTER BASH in Berlin and Munich are the last opportunity to experience the band live in 2013 with their complete set!
In line with their 25th band anniversary, one of the most influential melodic hardcore bands will grace this year's MONSTER BASHs: PENNYWISE from Hermosa Beach, California. Once again featuring founding member Jim Lindberg on vocals, they will not only perform tracks from their latest album "All Out Nothing" but also numerous classics like "Fuck Authority" or "Western World."
Additionally, two of the most promising bands in the punk rock scene will step into the ring: The New Yorkers POLAR BEAR CLUB have released three respectable albums in their nearly
eight-year band history, while TITLE FIGHT released their critically acclaimed second album "Floral Green" earlier this year.
The announcement is rounded off by THE STORY SO FAR from California, who have already made waves in their homeland with their debut album “Under Soil And Dirt,” and the likable folk punker TIM VANTOL, who will be performing in both Munich and Berlin.
