About the Show


A fortnightly show diving into the Luxembourg gig scene, what’s coming up as well as what has recently been on. A feature called Festival Days goes back in time to a day at a festival and plays tracks from bands performing on that day. Other features include from the mosh pit to the dance floor to the chill out room, 3 tracks with completely different moods! The objective of the show? To hopefully bring a band to you that becomes your new favourite!
