A total of five bands from the punk and rock scene promise an evening full of energetic performances. The first band will take to the stage at around 6.30 pm and the concert will end around midnight.
The bands
NO°RD is now a permanent fixture in the German punk scene. The band combines influences from Turbostaat, Pascow and Duesenjaeger and delivers an impressive mixture of emotionality and melancholy with their latest album "Böse Wetter". The band's clear anti-fascist, anti-racist and anti-sexist stance makes them an important voice of our time.
Lowknox, known for their intense live performances since 2009, shake up social grievances with German-language lyrics. Political and social issues are the band's focus, while their unique punk rock sound always gets the audience going.
Kaptain Kaizen from Mannheim creates dynamics with their unique sound, a mixture of punk and emo power. With their 2019 album "Alles und Nichts" and the recently released "Für 3 Minuten 11", the band delivers energetic, profound music with a pinch of hope and cheerfulness.
Freidenkeralarm from Trier/Mainz deliver socially critical sounds with their clearly positioned political punk. The shows give people the feeling that they are not alone with their worries and anger. The sound is a loud voice against fascism, racism, sexism, discrimination and oppression. The band is celebrating their new EP with this performance.
Blackout from Bingen brings a breath of fresh air to the scene. The five-piece hard rock and metal cover band, consisting of young people aged between 17 and 19, presents a rousing setlist with classics from Metallica to newer acts such as Thundermother. Passionate performances are guaranteed.
- Admission is from 5.30 p.m., tickets are available in advance for 10 euros at the Carl Schmidt and Schulz-Ebrecht bookshops and at the Wochenspiegel or for 12 euros at the box office.
