ProgPower Europe 2026 kicks off massively with Heavy Hoempa at the PreParty at The Chapel – Kasteel DeBerckt!

🎺 LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED! 🎷

We first discovered Heavy Hoempa in 2014, when they played an impromptu show at Baarlo’s Central Plaza during ProgPower Europe. 12 years later, they’re coming back to where we first saw them! And what better way to kick off ProgPower Europe weekend than with a brass fueled metal party?

Massive brass, ruthless drums and some of the biggest hard rock and metal classics you know. No guitars. YOU SING THE VOCALS. We’re sure you will have a very hard time standing still.

Expect everything from AC/DC and Iron Maiden to Metallica, Rammstein, Slipknot and Pantera, all turned into a ridiculously fun and ridiculously loud brass attack. 🎺🤘 With their Ace Of Spades video hitting 4.5 million views in one weekend, even Motörhead said: “Lemmy would have liked this.” 

Bring your voice. BE READY! 🤘🎺🥁

EARPLUGS ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE!!!
