Jera On Air 2024 is a wrap! After a bit of a false start – due to some planning failures out of our hands, our festival experience kicked off on Friday instead of Thursday – it ended up being another brilliant weekend with many musical highlights. Let me make use of this platform to highlight a few of my favourite acts of this weekend.

Of Mice & Men marked my first highlight of this edition of The Netherlands’ best punk, metalcore, and hardcore get together. I kind of knew what I was in for, having seen Of Mice & Men in Amsterdam last November too. They yet again did not disappoint and the US metalcore giants blasted out a very solid set involving many classics. And such nice guys, too. Very pleased hearing many of my favourite songs live!

In chronological order, all acts I’ve seen live on the Friday of Jera On Air 2024:
– Hanabie.
– Counterparts
– Hang Youth
– Of Mice & Men
– Sum 41
