GROEZROCK celebrates its 20th birthday with a compilation album: GROEZROCK blows its twentieth candle! What started with the Dinky Toys in 1992 has grown into one of the biggest alternative festivals of Europe. To this day, Groezrock still stands for two days of the best punk and hardcore the world has to offer - just like it has these past 20 years. The compilation record GROEZROCK - 20 TRACKS OF MAYHEM is the perfect reflection of this; the album consists of a unique collection of many of the musical highlights that have graced the stage of the festival over the last 20 years. 20 TRACKS OF MAYHEM will be on sale exclusively at the GROEZROCK festival (22/23th of April) and is limited to 500 copies. A true collector’s item!
