The melodic neo-punk tones will be brought by Belgium’s The Black Heart Rebellion, while Holland sends their regards with My Baby, an interesting electronic band which they themselves define as “delta trance, Louisiana dub indie funk”. The cosmopolitan spirit will be represented by China’s Nova Heart, an electro-pop band from Beijing, who shape their music according to the melodies from the 70s and 80s they are inspired by. And finally, the lineup on Thursday is complete by the performance of the local ska-dub sensation ZAA, and their recognizable female vocal Sanja Vučić, who represented Serbia at the Eurovision Song Contest this year.
