The Deadnotes

The Deadnotes are a pop-punk touring band from Germany with a britpop inspired sound.

“In the last two years we have released our recent ‘Forever Outsider’ EP and got to play our biggest headline shows all over Europe and the UK. Moreover we’ve been working on what we believe are the best Deadnotes songs yet. We took a step back from playing live these last few months to focus on songwriting but… we miss connecting with you all. We can’t stand the thought of a year 2024 without Deadnotes headline shows. That is why we’re so excited to announce this short run of super tiny, intimate and special ‘I Wanna Be Your Best Friend, Bonnie’ showcases. See you in September.” – Darius & Jakob

Snow Coats

We are extremely excited to welcome Snow Coats back at ACU! Signed to the British independent label Alcopop! Records, they are an a four-piece indie-folk band based in Arnhem, NL. Known for their rich jangly guitar pop sound, their lyrics capture the charm and storytelling style of singer-songwriters. They released two albums and a split EP.

“[their latest album is] called If it wasn’t me, I would’ve called it funny. As you might guess based on that magnificent title, Anouk van der Kemp is skilled with straightforward, vulnerable turns of phrase like “I can’t be on my leash for you all of my life.” Her voice also sounds spectacular amidst all the immaculate guitar sounds. ” -STEREOGUM

“The often challenging (but never houmourless) lyrical content, is mainly cast into a musical framework that is punchy, poppy, tight and refreshing. It’s quite a contrast, but it works wonderfully” -AT THE BARRIER
