SUMMARY:Periphery
DESCRIPTION:Periphery \nSupport: Rain City Drive \nAnyone wanting to understand how metal is reinventing itself in the digital age needs to look to Bethesda. There\, in 2004\, a band formed that embraces the concept of progression not as a mere formality\, but as a commitment: Periphery. Their sound is a tectonic tremor of seven-string\, sometimes eight-string\, guitars\, a powerful five- or six-string bass\, and Spencer Sotelo’s vocals\, which oscillate between crystal-clear melody and eruptive growls. \nIt all started with Misha “Bulb” Mansoor\, a guitarist who understood early on that the internet is not an enemy\, but an amplifier. He freely uploaded songs to the internet via YouTube video blogs and MySpace demos long before streaming strategies became industry standard. The scene listened. What began as a nerdy project with a Meshuggah influence evolved into a highly precise sonic laboratory where atmosphere is just as important as rhythmic complexity. Lineup changes were almost inevitable throughout this process – from the early singer carousel to the permanent signing of Sotelo in 2010. \nTheir debut album\, “Periphery\,” brought them their breakthrough\, followed by tours and festival appearances that cemented their reputation as a technically brilliant live band. Anyone who experiences Periphery live quickly understands: this music is not an end in itself. It’s a physical experience. Three guitarists weave polyrhythmic riffs into a shimmering tapestry\, while drummer Matt Halpern balances precision and power. Supporting Dream Theater on their “A Dramatic Turn of Events” tour in Europe in 2012 made it clear how effortlessly Periphery holds their own alongside genre giants. \nLater albums like “Juggernaut: Alpha/Omega\,” “Periphery III: Select Difficulty\,” and the self-released “Periphery IV: Hail Stan” demonstrate their growing independence. After parting ways with Sumerian Records\, “Hail Stan” was released on the band’s own label\, a statement of artistic independence. With “Periphery V: Djent Is Not a Genre” (2023)\, they finally formulated a tongue-in-cheek credo: pigeonholes are convenient\, but irrelevant. \nLive\, however\, categories dissolve anyway. There\, complex structures transform into immediate energy. Riffs that seem calculated on record unfold with an almost physical urgency in a club or concert hall. Tours with bands like Animals As Leaders and The Dillinger Escape Plan have honed this dynamic. Periphery often write their songs on the road\, between soundcheck and the tour bus. \nThey will be supported in 2026 by Rain City Drive from Sacramento\, who\, since their formation in 2014 (once under a different name)\, have had a turbulent history spanning post-hardcore\, soul influences\, and personnel changes. With melodic power and emotional directness\, they add another\, no less intense dimension to the evening. \nIn the summer of 2026\, Periphery will be performing two select shows in Germany. These are evenings that will determine whether technical finesse translates into emotional power\, and where that special tension arises that only live concerts can generate: when precision meets ecstasy\, and calculated complexity transforms into a captivating\, extraordinary experience.

SUMMARY:Agnostic Front
DESCRIPTION:Agnostic Front \nGuest: Tausend Löwen unter Feinden \nFounded in 1982\, the band AGNOSTIC FRONT is one of the most respected pioneers of the hardcore genre. No other band comes close to them in terms of sound and social authenticity and sincerity. The fight for survival on the road has literally breathed life and created a sound that is still as effective today as it is over four decades ago. AGNOSTIC FRONT’s brutal\, socially critical sound forms the foundation of the real New York hardcore and contributed significantly to the emergence of the crossover thrash. After a series of energetic albums\, led by the unmistakable vocals of Roger Miret and the legendary guitar playing of Vinnie Stigma\, the band continues to present ruthlessly honest lyrics and their characteristic aggressiveness on “Echoes in Eternity”. \nTausend Löwen unter Feinden (German for “A Thousand Lions Among Enemies”) is a German hardcore band formed in 2014 in North Rhine-Westphalia. They are best known for their German-language\, socially critical lyrics and strong political stance against intolerance and exclusion. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Free Throw
DESCRIPTION:Support: SATURDAYS AT YOUR PLACE Opener: POOL KIDS \nSince their formation in 2012\, Nashville’s Free Throw has adhered to a clear philosophy: keep moving forward. New music\, longer tours\, bigger venues. From their debut album *Those Days Are Gone* (2014)—now considered a seminal release in the emo-punk genre—to their latest work\, *Moments Before The Wind*\, the quintet has consistently proven their commitment to staying in motion\, evolving\, and exploring new musical avenues. This summer\, Cory Castro (vocals)\, Larry Warner (guitar)\, Jake Hughes (guitar/vocals)\, Justin Castro (bass)\, and Zach Hall (drums/vocals) are heading to Cologne\, Berlin\, Nuremberg\, and Stuttgart. On their upcoming sixth album\, the band members have focused on the theme of liminality—the sensation of being stuck between thoughts\, moments\, and life stages. Songs such as “A Hero’s Grave\,” “The Need for a Post-Credits Scene\,” and “The Waters of Life” reflect personal upheavals\, major life decisions\, and unexpected twists of fate. During the recording sessions\, when vocalist Castro learned he was going to become a father\, the emotional depth and intensity of the material were amplified even further. Working alongside their longtime producer Brett Romnes\, they crafted eleven tracks that are at once spontaneous\, fresh\, and deeply resonant—defined by the energy of the moment and Free Throw’s unmistakable signature style. The German leg of the tour will take the band through four cities\, where fans can look forward to an intense live experience. Following a successful co-headlining tour in the autumn of 2025 with Prince Daddy & The Hyena\, this time around they will be supported by Saturdays At Your Place. Saturdays At Your Place deliver dynamic\, infectious emo-punk featuring melodic guitars and high-energy drumming\, making them the perfect support act for Free Throw. Fans can look forward to intense guitar work\, driving rhythms\, and the unmistakable vocals of Cory Castro. Free Throw are ready to take their audience on a journey between reflection and new beginnings\, and to show that the path forward is never straight\, but always worthwhile.

SUMMARY:Die Toten Hosen - Trink Aus! Wir Müssen Gehen - Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:Die Toten Hosen – Trink Aus! Wir Müssen Gehen – Tour 2026 \nTwo shows: July 3 & 4 in Merkur Spiel Arena\, Düsseldorf \nSupport: Bad Nerves\, Rise Against \nDie Toten Hosen is one of Germany’s most successful and enduring punk rock bands. Formed in 1982 in Düsseldorf\, the group evolved from the local punk scene to become a national cultural icon\, often cited alongside Die Ärzte as the most significant German-speaking rock act.\nOrigins: The band was founded following the dissolution of the punk bands ZK and KFC. Their name is a German idiom for “nothing going on” or “boring\,” chosen so they could joke about their own performance if a concert went poorly. Over their 40+ year career\, they have sold more than 18 million records. They are known for high-energy live shows and have performed over 1\,000 concerts. The End of an Era: In March 2026\, the band announced they would end their studio career after 44 years. Their final studio album\, titled Trink aus\, wir müssen gehen!\, is scheduled for release on May 29\, 2026\, followed by a farewell tour in 2026 and 2027. \nBand Members: the lineup has remained remarkably stable since the late 1990s: \n\nCampino (Andreas Frege): Lead vocals and frontman.\nKuddel (Andreas von Holst): Guitar.\nBreiti (Michael Breitkopf): Guitar.\nAndi (Andreas Meurer): Bass.\nVom (Stephen Ritchie): Drums (joined in 1998/1999).\n\nBad Nerves –  a five-piece “Powerpop-RocknRoll” group from Essex\, known for their “ferociously fast” distorted pop songs. Their sound is often described as a mix between the Ramones and The Strokes \nRise Against – American punk rock band from Chicago\, Illinois\, formed in 1999. The group is widely recognized for its fast-paced melodic hardcore sound and deeply political and socially conscious lyrics \n

SUMMARY:Sex Pistols Feat. Frank Carter
DESCRIPTION:Sex Pistols Feat. Frank Carter \nVery Special Guests: The Damned \n05.07.2026 | Köln Südbrücke \nAnarchy in the United Kingdom – a prophecy\, a legacy\, and above all\, a classic celebrating its 50th anniversary! With “Anarchy in the UK\,” Paul Cook\, Steve Jones\, and Glen Matlock of the legendary punk band Sex Pistols secured their place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Joining Frank Carter\, frontman of Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes\, they stormed the stages once again and played two shows in Germany in the summer of 2025. Since this proved so infectiously successful for both the band and the audience\, they are returning to Germany for three exclusive shows in 2026 to celebrate their anniversary. The Sex Pistols hardly need an introduction: 50 years after their formation\, they are still considered one of the most influential punk bands of all time. School friends Steve Jones and Paul Cook founded the band and\, with the help of their infamous manager Malcolm McLaren\, recruited bassist Glen Matlock and singer John Lydon\, aka Johnny Rotten. After some initial small concerts\, they signed a record deal with EMI Records\, which was terminated shortly after the release of their debut single\, “Anarchy in the UK\,” and a scandalous appearance on the Today Show. An attempt with A&M Records also failed\, until finally\, with Virgin Records\, things worked out: in 1977\, “God Save the Queen” was released – and the Sex Pistols became instant global stars. Their only album\, “Never Mind the Bollocks\, Here’s the Sex Pistols\,” became a punk milestone. But just a year later\, the band broke up after a disastrous American tour and internal conflicts. Their influence\, however\, lived on: even though they weren’t the first punk band\, the Sex Pistols shaped the genre like no other and made it world-famous. Almost every punk band after them cites them as a major source of inspiration; they set musical and fashion standards that continue to resonate today. Frank Carter’s fresh energy made the iconic songs sound more powerful than ever – anyone who was in the mosh pit can attest to that! Fans in Germany have something to look forward to: In the summer of 2026\, Frank Carter and Paul Cook\, Steve Jones and Glen Metlock of the Sex Pistols will come to Germany for three exclusive shows and celebrate Anarchy in Germany! \n\nFormed in London in 1976\, The Damned are pioneers of the UK punk scene. They hold several historic “firsts” in the genre: First Single: Released “New Rose” in October 1976\, predating the Sex Pistols. First Album: Released Damned Damned Damned in February 1977. First US Tour: They were the first British punk group to tour the United States.\n\nThe Damned are not like everyone else and that’s why they have her for the 23rd. January 2026 in the starting blocks also named: “Not Like Everybody Else” is a cover album as a tribute to the artists who influenced The Damned and who celebrate the band to this day. Founded as a punk band in London\, The Damned looks back on a half-century career that they want to celebrate in a big way in 2026. As long as The Damned has been around\, there is punk and without The Damned it would not be what it is today. They are rightly to be counted among the League of Legends that the United Kingdom has produced. After their founding in 1976\, The Damned were the first British punk band to officially release a single (“New Rose”) and an album (“Damned Damned Damned”). With 12 studio albs and several singles in the British charts\, the band members are pioneers of the London punk scene\, where the members met back then. Fortunately\, it happened that way\, because originally Sid Vicious was invited to the rehearsals as a singer – but he never showed up. But The Damned played their first concerts in 1976 with the Sex Pistols and the story took its course. After a dissolution in 1978\, they came together again the following year\, this time more dark. Their melancholic-dark lyrics and Dave Vanion’s full baritone voice catapulted The Damned to the top of the goth rock genre. \nToday’s Damneds can’t be assigned to a category\, and the ease with which songs from all phases of their careers fit together in this groundbreaking spectacle is absolute proof of this. David Vanian\, Captain Sensible\, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray have been performing together again in this cast for 35 years. With Rat Scabie\, the band brought one of their founding members back on their stage to play with him for the audience in a series of special concerts “Not Like Everybody Else”\, which includes songs by The Rolling Stones\, Pink Floyd or The Animals. Her newcomer is both a tribute to her recently deceased founding member Brian James and an allusion to the Kinks song “I’m Not Like Everybody Else”. The Damned will play only in selected cities in Europe on the occasion of the double anniversary of punk and their servitude. Their exclusive Germany concert in Cologne promises to be an evening full of venerable memories – new and old\, definitely loud\, captivating and not an evening like the others. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:A Thousand Horses
DESCRIPTION:A Thousand Horses \nNot everyone understands what it’s like to lose everything and rebuild your life piece by piece. It’s a universal struggle for emotional survival—navigating the wreckage of broken relationships\, managing mental health\, and finding the strength to carry on. With their latest album\, White Flag Down\, Nashville’s A Thousand Horses have paved the way for just that\, with thunderous guitars and cinematic choruses. \nThe album tells the most personal story the band has ever recorded\, addressing themes like divorce\, starting over\, and the road to healing. Instead of retreating into acoustic melancholy\, the band cranks up the amps\, blending their signature rock storytelling with guitar-driven\, 90s-style anthems. Songs like “Dead Man Walking” and the collaboration with Aaron Gillespie on “Shadows” take the band deeper into modern rock territory without losing their raw Southern charm. \nTo capture this sonic shift\, frontman Michael Hobby\, guitarist Bill Satcher\, and bassist Graham DeLoach expanded their lineup to include drummer Nathan Sexton and guitarist Adam Browder. The result is a bold reinvention of the platinum-selling band behind the worldwide breakthrough hit “Smoke.” \nToday\, A Thousand Horses make exactly the kind of music that reminds us why rock is still relevant—loud\, honest\, and raw. \nA Thousand Horses is an American country-rock band formed in Nashville in 2010. They are best known for their 2015 Platinum-certified breakout hit “Smoke\,” which made them the first country group to reach No. 1 with a debut single since the Zac Brown Band in 2008. \nCore Band Members\nThe band currently operates as a core trio\, recently expanding their live lineup for a harder rock sound: \n\nMichael Hobby: Lead vocals.\nBill Satcher: Lead guitar.\nGraham DeLoach: Bass and vocals.\n\n

SUMMARY:MADNESS at Kunst!Rasen 2026
DESCRIPTION:MADNESS at Kunst!Rasen 2026\nWith a sound rooted in ska\, but also showing the influence of classic British pop\, Madness have enjoyed a long career full of hit singles\, influential albums\, and satisfied concert audiences. They were known initially for blending ska rhythms with catchy melodies and a nutty sense of humor on their 1979 debut album One Step Beyond\, one of the seminal works of the 2-Tone era. As their career progressed\, they folded touches of Motown\, soul\, and on 1982’s Madness Presents the Rise & Fall\, British pop\, into their formula. A single from that album\, the jaunty\, Kinks-influenced “Our House” rose to the upper reaches of numerous singles charts around the globe and became an enduring classic. 2009’s The Liberty of Norton Folgate was a reunion effort as pleasing as their classic ’80s releases\, and Madness showed no signs of slowing down\, touring the world and launching new projects such as 2018’s Can’t Touch Us Now and 2023’s The Theatre of the Absurd Introduces C’est La Vie. \nThe origins of Madness lie in a ska group known as the Invaders\, which was formed by Mike Barson\, Chris Foreman\, and Lee Thompson in 1976. By 1978\, the band had changed their name to Morris and the Minors and had added Graham “Suggs” McPherson\, Mark Bedford\, Chas Sash\, and Dan Woodgate to the group. Later in 1978\, they changed their name to Madness\, in homage to one of their favorite Prince Buster songs. The following year\, Madness released their debut single\, a tribute to Prince Buster entitled “The Prince\,” on Two-Tone. The song was a surprise hit\, reaching the British Top 20. Following its success\, the band signed a record contract with Stiff Records and released another Prince Busternumber\, “One Step Beyond\,” which climbed to number seven. \nMadness returned in the late summer of 1982 with The Rise and Fall\, their full-fledged shift to pop. Like their previous albums\, it was a British hit\, reaching the Top Ten\, but it also contained the seeds of their brief American success with the Top Five British single “Our House.” The single was released in America on the group’s new label\, Geffen\, and it received heavy airplay from MTV. The music video network had previously aired the videos for “House of Fun\,” “It Must Be Love\,” and “Cardiac Arrest” while the band’s albums were unreleased in the United States\, thereby setting the stage for “Our House” to become a massive hit. With “Our House\,” Madness had MTV exposure that coincided with a record release for the first time\, the U.S. compilation album Madness\, which sent the single into the American Top Ten in the summer of 1983; the album topped out at number 41. Madness managed one more American Top 40 hit that fall\, when “It Must Be Love” peaked at number 33. \nAt the end of 1983\, Mike Barson\, the band’s key songwriter\, left the group to settle down with his wife. Although Madness was able to stay near the top of the charts with their first post-Barson release\, “Michael Caine\,” the band’s fortunes began to decline over the course of 1984. Upon its release in the spring\, Keep Moving hit number six on the British charts; in America\, the record reached number 109. In June\, the group released its final single for Stiff Records\, “One Better Day\,” which peaked at number 17. A few months later\, Madness formed their own record label\, Zarjazz; their first release\, “Yesterday’s Men\,” came out in September of 1985\, nearly a year after the label’s formation. The record peaked at number 18 and its parent album\, Mad Not Mad\, reached number 16 upon its October release. Their chart decline continued early in 1986\, when their cover of Scritti Politti’s “Sweetest Girl” peaked at number 35. Madness were quiet in 1986 until September\, when they announced they were disbanding. Two months later\, their farewell single\, “Waiting for the Ghost Train\,” was released\, charting at number 18. \nAfter remaining dormant for a year-and-a-half\, the group reunited at the beginning of 1988 as a quartet called the Madness\, releasing its comeback single\, “I Pronounce You\,” in March. \nIn the summer of 1992\, the original lineup of Madness reunited to perform two outdoor concerts at London’s Finsbury Park. The group dubbed the event Madstock and released a recording of the shows on Go! Records. Madstock became an annual event for the next four years — every summer the band would reunite and headline an outdoor festival at Finsbury Park. \nIn 2011\, Madness launched the annual “House of Fun Weekender\,” a three-day festival curated by the band in which they performed alongside a wealth of like-minded artists. During 2012\, the band took part in high-profile performances that celebrated the best of British culture. They played from the top of Buckingham Palace at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee party and appeared in the closing ceremony of the London Olympic Games. \nIn 2022\, they made the show and its soundtrack available in physical media format. In 2023\, Madness treated their fans with a new studio album\, The Theatre of the Absurd Introduces C’est La Vie. It marked the first time the group produced themselves\, with engineer Matt Galsbey recording and mixing the material.

SUMMARY:Jet
DESCRIPTION:JET 2026 Europe Tour\nSupport: Liquid Zoo \nJet found international popularity during the early 2000s\, a period in which the band’s mix of Exile on Main St. swagger and brash\, AC/DC-styled stomp dovetailed nicely with America’s garage rock revival. Hailing from Melbourne and comprising guitarist Cameron Muncey\, drummer Chris Cester\, bassist Mark Wilson\, and frontman Nic Cester\, the foursome formed just as the new millennium was beginning. They quickly self-released 2002’s Dirty Sweet\, a vinyl-only EP that proved to be quite popular in Australia. The EP sold out of its initial run of 1\,000 copies\, and Jet’s acclaim grew in the U.K. as they issued another limited-edition run. An American deal with Elektra surfaced in early 2003\, and the Dirty Sweet EP was released domestically that May. An opening slot for the Rolling Stones in Jet’s homeland soon followed. With buzz brewing about the band’s skuzzy\, old-fashioned hard rock\, Jet’s proper studio debut arrived in November under the title Get Born. \nWith its crisp guitars and start-stop tempos\, “Are You Gonna Be My Girl?” became a radio favorite worldwide\, and Get Born sold over three million copies as a result. Jet also received seven ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) nominations\, six of which were awarded to the band. European dates with Oasis followed in summer 2005\, and the sophomore effort Shine On arrived in fall 2006. The band maintained a steady touring pace and contributed a song to the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack. Following a short break\, Jet reconvened in 2008 to begin work on a third album\, which arrived one year later as Shaka Rock. They toured as support for Green Day and Powderfinger\, but went on hiatus in 2010 and were fully disbanded in 2012. Jet were back in business after several years\, however\, playing headlining shows in Australia during early 2017. \nLiquid Zoo is an emerging five-piece indie/alt-rock band based in Sydney\, Australia. Originally forming in the small town of Tamworth\, the group relocated to Sydney and quickly built a reputation for bringing high-voltage energy\, gritty 70s glam rock influences\, and chaotic sweat-drenched performances to the local music scene \nBUY TICKETS

SUMMARY:La Delio Valdez
DESCRIPTION:La Delio Valdez have been a symbol of the power of a musical collective for over 15 years – independent\, cooperatively organized\, and shaped by the shared language of Cumbia as a musical and dance style\, the Buenos Aires orchestra unites community\, identity\, and celebration. Their shows are exhilarating festivals where orchestral power meets pure joie de vivre. \nThe last few years for the Argentinian collective have been filled with two of the most defining moments of their career: The finale of their 15th-anniversary tour at the end of 2024 brought La Delio Valdez to the Ferro Carril Oeste stadium for the first time\, playing to an audience of 25\,000. In 2025\, the Buenos Aires orchestra crowned their creative achievements to date with another milestone: At the Movistar Arena\, the musicians presented their new album “El Desvelo” in a stunning setting\, with special musical guests and a unique live setup that underscored the festive atmosphere that has always characterized their live performances. \nSince 2009\, La Delio Valdez have been developing their unique artistic concept\, understanding Cumbia as the shared musical language of the Latin American continent. With 15 musicians on stage\, they revive the continent’s great orchestral tradition\, drawing inspiration from the national tango orchestras of the 1950s as well as the theatricality of large Caribbean ensembles – with dance and a powerful sound at its core. Their style blends traditional Andean elements with salsa\, rock\, jazz\, and reggae to create a soundscape that is both deeply rooted and modern. \nThe band’s cooperative and self-managed organization reflects their identity and commitment to popular and social causes. Their own label\, Delirio Valdez\, has accompanied this journey for years\, releasing studio albums\, live albums\, and numerous single collaborations since 2012. \nWith “El Desvelo\,” the orchestra opened a new chapter. Twelve songs revolve around intimate yet universal themes such as love\, heartbreak\, personal struggles\, longing\, frustration\, and celebration. Developed in collaborative sessions with Popi Spatocco as artistic producer\, the tracks were recorded live in the studio to capture La Delio Valdez’s signature\, powerful sound\, a blend of emotional depth and communal energy. \nWhen the 15-piece orchestra brings these songs to life\, the result is far more than just a concert. Between orchestral precision\, Caribbean festivity\, and modern cumbia euphoria\, evenings of dance\, community\, and raw emotion unfold. La Delio Valdez will bring this unique energy to Germany in July – to Fabrik in Hamburg\, the Columbia Theater in Berlin\, and Kantine in Cologne.
