Girls to the front

“Girls to the front!” shouted Kathleen Hanna, singer of Bikini Kill, at her shows, calling women up to the stage so that, instead of the moshing boys, they could finally take the front row. Her call became the rallying cry of the riot grrrl movement, and it still stands for women having a place and a voice in the scene. Just like tonight at Toldi.

22:30–23:30 // Yuri x Paracosm (CH)

23:30–00:00 // Palánta
The Budapest band describes its sound as psychedelic punk: spaced-out ’70s keyboard textures mixed with a carefree punk attitude and unusual lyrics. Their debut album, Növények országa (Kingdom of Plants), came out on Trottel Records in 2025, but the stage is where they truly shine, and tonight they’ll prove it.
