NASTY is a Belgian beatdown hardcore band from Kelmis, founded in November 2004 by former members of Van Damme. The quartet - vocalist Matthi, guitarist Paddy, bassist Tom and drummer Nash - emerged from the H8000 scene and relocated early on to Eupen. Through releases on Goodlife, Beatdown Hardwear and Century Media, and appearances at Hellfest, Wacken and the Impericon festivals, they became one of the most in-demand acts in European hardcore.
NASTY announced a major headliner European tour for October-November 2026, with shows in Utrecht, Cologne, Vienna, Munich and other cities.
NASTY is confirmed as an act at Download Festival 2026.
NASTY co-headlined an Australian tour in September 2025 together with Paleface Swiss.
NASTY released the EP 'Black My Heart' via Triple B Records, featuring guest contributions from Terror and Paleface Swiss.
The EP features 'Iron Grip' with guest vocalist Scott Vogel from Terror and 'Talk', a collaboration with Paleface Swiss.
