It's a great honour to welcome back Denmark's D-A-D after their memorable concerts in 2014 and 2017 (who doesn't remember the "Raismes mon amour! " shouted on stage by Jesper Binzer?). 

They will be celebrating 40 years in the music business at the Raismes Fest. There's even a 6-month exhibition devoted to them at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen! They'll be bringing this 24th edition to a close in style.

DAY AND TIME ARE OT CONFIRED YET.

Ten years after their first appearance at Raismes Fest, Switzerland's SIDEBURN will be back at RAISMES FEST, this time on the main stage.

In 2014, they played on the Friday evening and only the small stage was used that day. They also gave a memorable concert lasting over 2 hours.

NOTE: Day and time to be confirmed.

We have the immense pleasure of welcoming the Swiss band GOTUS with the incredible Ronnie Romero on vocals (RAINBOW, MICHAEL SCHENKER, LORDS OF BLACK, VANDENBERG etc).

Formed in 2019 by former GOTTHARD and KROKUS musicians including guitarist Mandy Meyer (KROKUS, GOTTHARD, ASIA, COBRA, KATMANDÜ,UNISONIC etc), the band released a critically acclaimed album last January. 

Note that Dino Jelusic was the first singer of GOTUS before the COVID crisis.

It's been 11 years since we've been waiting for them to return. They blew everyone away in 2013, and we are super excited to have them back on the lineup for RAISMES FEST this year. The Norwegians from AUDREY HORNE will set your Saturday night on fire on September 7th.

 

For the first time in its long history, RAISMES FEST will be welcoming a Croatian group, and not just any group. Indeed, Dino Jelusick's namesake band includes the talented guitarist Ivan Keller, who appeared with Marco Mendoza at Bully on Rocks in 2022.

Dino Jelusick, a super-star in Croatia, already has an impressive carreer, having toured in recent years with his band ANIMAL DRIVE (1 album in 2018 already with Ivan Keller), he sang on DIRTY SHIRLEY album in 2020 with George Lynch on guitar (DOKKEN). also in the TRANS SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA in 2022, released an album under the name JELUSICK in September 2023 and formed a metal-prog supergroup with Derek Sherinian and Ron Thal, WHOM GODS DESTROY, whose album was released on 15 March.

Not forgetting, of course, his participation in the (sadly shortened)  WHITESNAKE's farewell tour in 2022 as keyboardist and, above all, vocal support for David Coverdale. In short, it's an immense singer and his band that we'll have the pleasure of welcoming to Raismes on Sunday 8 September.
