BRIGHT CURSE: Joining UP IN SMOKE Roadfestival w/PENTAGRAM (USA), COLOUR HAZE, TRUCKFIGHTERS and more

Today, joining the awesome UP IN SMOKE line-up, we are proud to announce the London-based French band BRIGHT CURSE.

Born in 2011, the concept initially called UP IN SMOKE Roadfestival is a tribute to the clouds of blue smoke which wave around the dances and trances of music lovers around the world ! Each time, for each volume, we offered a well suiting band package and got them to hit the European roads to meet their fans and rock the crowds with psychedelic, doom, heavy rock and experimental riffs.

But this year, the roadfestival stops its caravan in Switzerland for a new rendez-vous. After 3 years of wandering around Europe, we have decided to offer a "home" to UP IN SMOKE for one full day !

On October 5th 2013, a new puff of smoke will rise up from the sweetest swiss rock venue : Z7 KONZERTFABRIK.

Take part and join us for one full day of Heavy Rock, Stoner, Sludge, Doom & Psychedelic music with:
