December is the holiday month. We as Jera On Air love to be part of that and start giving out gifts by announcing a dozen new names for Jera On Air. You will see the names of NOFX, Meshuggah, August Burns Red, Motionless in White and Chelsea Grin on the festival poster and you can start to get excited for the shows of Malevolence, Knocked Loose, Counterparts, Being As An Ocean, Belvedere, Cigar and Rotting Out. Earlier this month we announced that amongst others Killswitch Engage, Thy Art is Murder and Of Mice & Men will come to Ysselsteyn. Just before that we announced the first headliner: The Offspring! Tickets for the 28th edition of Jera On Air, taking place from the 25th of June until the 27th of June 2020, can be bought via www.jeraonair.nl.
In 2018 a long-time wish of the organization came true when the punk rock heroes of NOFX closed the Jera On Air festival in style. This tasted like more. A lot more. The legendary punkers from Los Angeles fronted by Fat Mike still create a tight and energetic performance, everywhere and always, that is above all filled with humor and full of classics from their extensive repertoire. Yes, the thirteen albums NOFX released have given us a lot of punk rock classics. And punk rock in general, is well-represented at Jera On Air 2020. Next to NOFX we will welcome amongst others the punkers of Belvederes and Cigar at the festival.
Just like NOFX the guys from the Swedish metal band Meshuggah are viewed as true pioneers. The band was formed at the end of the eighties. Since then they were often imitated, but never duplicated. The guitar play of the guitarist duo Mårten Hagström and Fredrik Thordendal, in combination with the drums played by Tomas Haake and the brutal vocals by frontman Jens Kidam, produces a unique sound. A sound well-appreciated. Meshuggah was streamed millions of times on Spotify – their biggest hit ‘Bleed’ was listened to more than twenty million times alone – and they can be happy with a worldwide fan base. And the hearts of these fans will probably also skip a beat by seeing the names of Motionless in White and Chelsea Grin on the festival poster.
When the gentlemen of August Burns Red started to rehearse in the basement of one of the band members somewhere in 2003, they could only dream that fifteen years later they would be playing the biggest stages and festivals. But this is exactly what the Americans achieved. Thanks to the exceedingly strong live reputation August Burns Red belongs to the top of the metal core scene. With eight albums, they have created a string of pearls to choose from during their gigs.
And of course the hard as nails hardcore music cannot be missing on Jera On Air. The genre is again represented coming year. A portion of solid hard guitars and vocals will be delivered by the Americans of Knocked Loose, their countrymen of Being as an Ocean and their British colleagues of Malovelence. Also Rotting Out and Counterparts are contributing to the hardcore part.
Jera On Air is taking place in Ysselsteyn, The Netherlands on June 25-27. For info and tickets visit www.jeraonair.nl.
