VALS ALARM is a punk trio from The Hague, formed by singer Yanna Panagopoulos, drummer Bram Kniest and guitarist Teun Hieltjes - the latter two known from Go Back To The Zoo. What started as a joke on a night out quickly turned into one of the most talked-about acts in the Dutch alternative scene. Their self-titled debut album (2024) and second EP DON'T PANIC (October 2024) earned them slots at Best Kept Secret, Wildeburg and Noorderslag, as well as a support show for Goldband at a sold-out Ziggo Dome.
VALS ALARM performed at Oerol Festival 2026 and played live material from their third album for the first time.
VALS ALARM was on the line-up of Grauzone Festival 2026 in The Hague (6-8 February).
VALS ALARM was announced for Grauzone 2026 as part of a new generation of artists.
VALS ALARM released the single 'I Say' as a preview of the EP DON'T PANIC and performed on 27 May in Paradiso Amsterdam.
The second EP DON'T PANIC was released on 24 October 2024, featuring among others the collaboration 'COUGAR SUGAR' with BUBU (Boaz Kok from Goldband).
