Rocket Panda Management presents: Tons and Strider announced for StonerKras Fest 2026!
Arci Trieste and Rocket Panda Management are proud to present StonerKras Fest 2026.
StonerKras Fest is a psychedelic music gathering based on stoner, doom and heavy psych music. The festival has an international footprint but with the aim of enhancing the local heavy scene (both Slovenian and Italian) while attracting spectators from the region but also from neighboring countries.
Youth aggregation and cultural exchange accompanied by good music.
The festival will celebrate it’s 5th edition with an amazing lineup that will be unveiled in the next weeks.
In addition to STONED JESUS, TYTUS and ACID ROW – more bands announced today!
*** TONS ***
Forged in 2009 by members of the Turin hardcore scene (The Redrum, Lama Tematica, NoInfo), TONS deliberately traded breakneck speed for a colossus-sized, slow-motion onslaught – sludgy-as-fuck, caustic and laced with wry weed wisdom and local esoteric mystique.
From their 2012 debut, »Musineè Doom Session, Volume 1«, to the punishing »Filthy Flowers Of Doom« (2018) and the evil and acerbic »Hashension« (2022), TONS has never taken a single prisoner. The unstoppable foursome has shared stages with iconic acts such as Bongzilla, Unsane, Napalm Death and Church Of Misery, and relentlessly stormed festivals across the continent (Desertfest, Sonic Blast, Frantic Fest, Venezia Hardcore, HPS Fest).
Blasting forth with a new player behind the kit, TONS is ready to crank it up to maximum sludge levels again with their fourth album Stoned Villains, due out in the spring of 2026 and followed by a promotional Japanese tour in May.
*** STRIDER ***
From the Turkish moorlands to the Karst… please welcome STRIDER!!
Having recently released a special edition of their acclaimed debut album via Three Moon Records, the band is now channeling their energy into new material, masterfully distilling ferocity and elegance into riffs, jams, and fuzz. Are you ready for the impact?
