XOXO.

XOXO leave you no time to catch your breath as they bring all your bodily fluids to the boil: This five-piece band from Zurich may be cute and queer with their aesthetic and charming demeanor.
But they can also pack a punch and go wild, especially when they take to the stage and make every atom in the room shake. They’re a phenomenon that’s also caused quite a stir in the music press in recent years – and not just in Switzerland. Official deathcore bangers like “Rotten” (2024) or “No Revolution Without Blood” (2025) have been tearing the skin off the skulls of crowds and critics alike ever since, satisfying every whim with their overwhelming riff explosions, precise drums and demonic screeching vocals. Even the band’s first demo tape, “8k Mixtape” (2024), released two years ago, demonstrated the technical prowess and tight interplay of everyone involved. Next came the acclaimed “Split” EP (2025) with Kibosh, and the track “Razor Sharp Feathers” won the “Demo Of The Year” award at the m4music Festival in Zurich. Could things be going any better for such fiercely motivated newcomers? It’s only fitting that they’re playing right here in Hamburg this year.

Admission to this event is included with a Reeperbahn Festival Conference ticket, Reeperbahn Festival Ticket or a Spotlight On: Heavy Reeperbahn ticket.
