In this session we talk about the current status of the European hardcore scene and its promising growth the last few years. From Germany to Italy and from Scandinavia to Benelux, the scene is blooming, and there’s new bands popping up all over every month. This episode’s guest is Nick Tronckoe (2nd part of the episode) from the Ghent based collective Return Bookings. Formed in-between the Covid19 lockdowns, Return Bookings have managed to be the leading force when it comes to hardcore/punk/metal and independent music concerts in their area. We discuss with Nick about his involvement in the scene, Ghent’s hardcore history and Return Bookings’ initiative Eurocore Fest, taking place on 24th and 25th May 2024. www.linktr.ee/returnbookingshttps://www.instagram.com/nick.tronckoe.media
