For almost 13 years, Broken Brass has been bringing unrivalled energy to the stage with their explosive mix of funk, afrobeat and New Orleans jazz. What started as a fresh, quirky brass band in Friesland has grown into one of the most exhilarating live acts in Europe. So with their unique combination of tight horns, grooving percussion and a funky rhythm section, they are definitely going to make it a party at GROUNDS.

With the upcoming release of their double album ‘Dancing Critters, Random Shivers & Snap Decisions’ (Jan. ’26), Broken Brass gives a fresh twist to their lovely and familiar sound. After a decade of exploring the boundaries of brass music in all directions, they have arrived at an effervescent feel-good mix of afrobeat, samba and jazz. Combined with years of playing together, the new sound is danceable, relaxed and full of energy. Perfect for fans of both old-school brass bands and modern funky grooves.

Live, Broken Brass remains an unrivalled force. The energetic brass section, pumping beats and rhythmic riffs ensure that no one can stand still. Whether in a steamy club, at a festival or during a street parade, Broken Brass turns every show into a party.
