Epilogue set for PopMonument x VESTROCK this March

Kildare post-punk five-piece Epilogue continue their upward trajectory with a performance at PopMonument x VESTROCK on 28 March in the historic Dutch town of Hulst, Netherlands.

Since forming in 2023, the band have evolved rapidly, moving from a thrash-leaning rock sound into darker, more atmospheric post-punk territory. Their recent release Carousel marked a turning point, drawing attention for its dynamic contrasts, expressive vocals and driving instrumentation.

Epilogue’s sound blends soft, emotive vocal passages with urgent guitars, groove-heavy bass lines and energetic drums. Lyrically, they explore themes of loss, dread and existential unease, capturing the emotional intensity and uncertainty of youth with striking honesty. The result is music that feels both raw and reflective, balancing vulnerability with powerful live energy.

The growing response to Carousel has helped propel the band onto larger stages and festival line-ups, with a busy 2026 schedule including appearances across Ireland and Europe. Their performance at PopMonument x VESTROCK offers a chance for international audiences to experience a band whose live presence is as compelling as their recordings.

A Festival Like No Other

PopMonument x VESTROCK is not a conventional festival. Set in the medieval fortified city of Hulst in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, the event transforms the historic town into a living cultural trail.

Audiences move through the city discovering performances in remarkable spaces such as churches, historic gates and hidden architectural gems. Music is interwoven with storytelling, dance and spoken word, creating a multisensory experience that celebrates both heritage and contemporary creativity.

The collaboration also serves as a cultural preview of the VESTROCK festival, which takes place in Hulst later in the spring, while maintaining its own distinct identity centred on discovery and artistic exploration.

For Epilogue, the setting provides the perfect backdrop. Their atmospheric sound and emotional depth are well suited to the festival’s intimate and immersive environment, where audiences encounter music in close proximity and unexpected surroundings.
