Pier15 x MEZZ: Lionstorm

Lionstorm is the first explicitly queer music duo from the Netherlands, consisting of Ski and Stars. With their own raw, aggressive style, they combine horrorcore, reggaeton, and industrial metal, and address themes such as queer identity, female sexuality, and breaking taboos.

Lionstorm is known for their unpredictable performances. One moment you're twerking, and the next you're in the middle of a moshpit. Their debut single ‘No H8ro’ was declared the queer anthem of 2019 by i-D Magazine.

Despite (or perhaps because of) bans on YouTube and Instagram, they continue to provoke, create, and inspire.
