Under the slogan “We are a lost generation, but we have ourselves and our music”, the organizers invite you to travel together to the times when punk, nu-metal, rap-rock and alternative dominated radio stations and MTV. Lost Generation is not just a concert, but an emotional return to the era when music defined the identity of an entire generation.
“It will be a celebration of people who grew up with a disc player in their pocket, a skateboard under their arm and the soundtrack of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater in the background,” the organizers announce.

The Offspring – Californian energy that never fades away
The Offspring remain a symbol of punk’s boldness and coolness. Their hits, such as “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)” or “Why Don’t You Get a Job?”, are anthems of growing up in the spirit of freedom and irony towards the adult world.

Lagwagon – skatepunk with heart
