Frickerfest 2026 at The Black Market Venue
The Syndicate injected a burst of raw, no-nonsense punk energy into Frickerfest 2026, proving that sometimes the simplest formula hits the hardest.
Formed in February 2025, the band wasted no time making an impression. Their set was fast, loud, and full of attitude—everything you’d want from a proper punk outfit. Lyrically, they didn’t hold back either, firing through tracks covering politics, everyday life, and even the unexpected mix of sharks and zombies, adding a bit of humour into the chaos.
There was a real edge to their performance. It wasn’t polished, and it didn’t need to be—that roughness is exactly what gave it its authenticity. The energy from the stage translated straight into the crowd, creating one of the more lively and direct connections of the night.
The Syndicate kept things moving at pace, delivering short, punchy tracks that landed quickly and left their mark. No filler, no overthinking—just straight-up punk played with intent.
A fun, energetic set that brought a gritty bite to Frickerfest 2026.
