Day two of Brakrock Ecofest is about to turn into one giant celebration, because Talco are coming to party with us. And if there is one band guaranteed to turn any field into a euphoric, sweat-soaked carnival of punk rock energy, it is Talco. For more than two decades, the Italian ska-punk institution has been delivering explosive anthems, razor-sharp political commentary, and the kind of unstoppable singalongs that unite thousands of voices into one. heir latest album, Freek, asks a question as urgent as it is universal: “Is it worth giving up the dream of the open sea just to win a race designed by others?” Released on January 8, 2027, Freek is a fearless and unfiltered journey through mental cages, restless minds, and dreams left suspended in time. More than just a record, it is a statement — a confrontation with the invisible structures that shape who we are, and who society expects us to become. The album dives deep into the contradictions of a world obsessed with image and performance, where authenticity is demanded from others while carefully curated illusions hide in plain sight. In this landscape, dreams are no longer allowed to run wild; they are reshaped, softened, and confined within personalized comfort zones. But Talco have never been a band to accept the rules written by others. With Freek, they once again transform frustration into resistance and resistance into celebration — delivering songs that hit as hard emotionally as they do physically. And live, those songs become something even bigger: a collective act of defiance wrapped in brass, sweat, and pure exhilaration. Talco are always a party, and there could be no better band to help us celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of Brakrock. Expect fists in the air, voices at full volume, and a festival-wide eruption of joy when one of Europe’s most beloved punk bands takes over day two. Our birthday party just found its perfect soundtrack.
