Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Greek psych-folk maniacs Thrax Punks crash back into The Golden Lion, weaponising Thracian folk rhythms with punk’s serrated edge to make a sonic Molotov cocktail. Flutes spiral into feedback, riotous drums gallop and collide, and guitars squall into a maelstrom of noise that tears tradition apart..."

Thrax Punks – UK Tour 2025
From Thrace to the Isles: A Psych-Folk Odyssey
Greece’s explosive psych-folk agitators Thrax Punks return to the UK for the third time, bringing their electrifying fusion of traditional Thracian rhythms and punk-rock intensity across six cities. Known for their blistering live shows and wild improvisations, Thrax Punks blend ancient melodies with modern defiance — or, as they shout from the stage:
"tradition is not a museum piece, it's a tool for rebellion".
This year’s tour marks a milestone, as the band plays Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield and Bristol for the first time ever, expanding their UK cult following with each boundary-breaking set.
Expect driving gaida grooves, wild tsifteteli breakdowns, and psych-rock vibes . Come prepared to dance, shout, and sweat.
"Our sound is both a celebration and a protest." – Thrax Punks
