SUMMARY:Dick Brave - Back For Good!
DESCRIPTION:Dick Brave is back! Pomade in\, petticoats out—the charismatic rock ’n’ roll legend returns to the stage louder\, cooler\, and more legendary than ever. After the most spectacular rock ’n’ roll world tour of all time—from Berlin to Beijing to Las Vegas—Dick Brave experienced it all: international triumphs\, wild nights\, deep crises\, and a final showdown in the desert. His manager disappeared\, his fortune was stolen\, and the mafia took over his debts. But anyone who thought that was the end was wrong: Dick Brave is back—and “Back for Good.” \nMore than two decades after his sudden rise and mysterious disappearance\, the Canadian cult phenomenon returns to where rock ’n’ roll truly belongs: the club stage. With a furious band and his new album Back for Good\, Dick Brave brings the greatest comeback hits for his greatest comeback yet. Starting in spring 2026\, the “Back for Good” club tour will hit 13 legendary venues across Germany—from Große Freiheit 36 in Hamburg to Huxleys in Berlin and Batschkapp in Frankfurt. Expect a high-energy journey back to the golden era of the ’50s and ’60s—full of pomade\, power chords\, and hip-shaking rhythms. 🎸 \n

SUMMARY:Subway To Sally - NACKT III - Lügen & Legenden
DESCRIPTION:Subway To Sally – NACKT III – Lügen & Legenden \nA Cult Returns\nTwenty years have passed since SUBWAY TO SALLY redefined the rules for acoustic concerts with their first NACKT tour. Then\, as now\, NACKT was more than just a concert series – it was an emotional state of exception. From the quietest ballad to wild escalation\, from bittersweet melancholy to unbridled excess: the close connection with the audience made every evening an unforgettable experience. \nThis chapter began in 2006\, continued in 2010 with NACKT II – now the time is ripe for a new round\, because all good things come in threes: in 2026\, the Potsdam-based band returns to the acoustic stage with NACKT III – Lies & Legends\, delving deep into their own history. Melancholy\, crazy\, playful\, and virtuosic – SUBWAY TO SALLY once again reveal a different side of themselves. \nLies & Legends \nThe title alludes to the myths that have accumulated over 35 years of band history. \nWhat is true\, what is invented? Which stories have been embellished\, which lies have long since become legends themselves? SUBWAY TO SALLY take these questions as the starting point for a show that playfully revives memories\, retells old stories\, and perhaps even spreads new rumors. \nIn an intimate atmosphere\, close to the audience\, visitors can expect an evening somewhere between a living room and a theater stage\, between poetry and pure joy of performing. “NAKED III –\nLies & Legends” is an invitation to all companions on this journey to celebrate life – and perhaps\, at the end\, to be naked together one last time.

SUMMARY:Kiefer Sutherland
DESCRIPTION:KIEFER SUTHERLAND – LOVE WILL BRING YOU HOME TOUR 2026 \nAn Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning actor\, producer\, and director\, Kiefer Sutherland began pursuing a secondary musical career in 2016 with the release of his debut album\, Down in a Hole. The county and Americana-styled Reckless & Me arrived in 2019\, followed by the like-minded Bloor Street in 2022. Known for his work on popular television series like 24 and Designated Survivor\, and early on for iconic films such as Stand by Me\, The Lost Boys\, Young Guns\, and Flatliners\, Sutherland’s first professional musical endeavor was forming the Ironworks label with his friend Jude Cole in the mid-2000s\, when Sutherland was at the peak of his 24 stardom. Ironworks signed Rocco DeLuca as their first artist\, and they’d later sign Ron Sexsmith and Lifehouse\, the latter releasing Out of the Wasteland in 2015. By that point\, Sutherland had started his own rootsy Americana outfit called the Kiefer Sutherland Band. After hearing a few original tunes\, Cole encouraged Sutherland to form the KSB\, and the singer/songwriter toured small bars around America in 2015. In 2016\, Colecollaborated on the Kiefer Sutherland Band‘s first album\, Down in a Hole\, which delivered a likeable amalgam of earthy\, country-pop\, Americana\, and classic rock. Cole also helmed the group’s sophomore long-player\, 2019’s Reckless & Me. Two years later\, Sutherland issued the twangy single “Bloor Street” ahead of the release of the album of the same name\, which arrived in January 2022. \n  \n  \nBUY TICKETS\n\n  \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Francis  Rossi – Songbook Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:An Evening With Francis Rossi – Songbook Tour 2026\nGenre: Rock\, Boogie Rock\, Rock and Roll \nFrancis Rossi the frontman of legendary Status Quo brings his solo tour to theatre am Tanzbrunnen in Cologne. Rossi released three solo albums\, over 100 singles and  33 studio albums with Status Quo with a career spanning 63 years. Status Quo\, one of UK’s longest running bands had 60 chart hits over the years in the UK\, more than any other band. They performed 3700 documented and roughly 6000 undocumented gigs over the years. Between 1968 and 2019 the band was on multinational tour every year\, their highest gigs per year was 144 in 1971. While they had massive success in UK and Europe they had only minor chart presence and never broke through as a mainstream band or toured extensively in North America. \n‘The Accidental’ by Francis Rossi\, will be released through earMUSIC on 30th January 2026 on CD\, LP and Digital formats\, comes as something of a surprise… It was a surprise certainly to Francis\, who had no plans to record an album. While Rossi’s previous solo albums explored his love for acoustic ballads\, vocal harmonies\, and the blend of British rock with country influences\, this album\, Francis Rossi’s first in seven years\, marks a true return to the energetic\, guitar-driven sound that made him a legend with Status Quo. ‘The Accidental’ sees Francis Rossi playing to his strengths\, but taking risks\, cutting loose\, and exploring new territory – this album is all about old bones and fresh blood. \nFrancis Rossi will play at the Theater am Tanzbrunnen on May 15\, 2026 as part of his ten date Germany tour in 2026. \nBUY TICKETS\nCheck out Francis Rossi’s Youtube channel: \n\n  \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:MADDOX BATSON – LIVE! WORLDWIDE!
DESCRIPTION:MADDOX BATSON – LIVE! WORLDWIDE! \nWithin just five months\, Maddox Batson\, a charismatic teenager from Alabama\, born in the country capital Nashville (Tennessee)\, was able to achieve over 200 million views and gain more than three million followers. His first single “Tears In The River” has since counted more than 12 million streams on Spotify. Meanwhile\, Batson signed with the major label Warner Music and wrote\, among other things\, together with star producer and songwriter Jack Antonoff\, the hit “Tough” by Lana Del Rey and Quavo. What Maddox Batson participates in\, will be guaranteed to be a success! Not self-evident for a young person who had to learn early on to be able to deal with plan changes. The sports enthusiast Batson once aspired to a career as a professional athlete (basketball or baseball). However\, this dream shattered when the diagnosis of Osgood-Schlatter’s disease entered the life of the then 13-year-old. He has remained true to his sporting ambition and the necessary balance. With plans for the future thrown over the heap\, Batson then devoted himself to his passion and enthusiasm for music. This was followed by online uploaded cover versions of the songs by Zach Bryan\, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros or Red Clay Strays\, and the rest is (Internet) history! Meanwhile\, he is an actor\, singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist – always with one hand on the strings of a guitar (or mandolin) and with the other on the keys of a piano. Not only since the viral hits “Tears In The River” and “I Wanna Know” his fans have been glued to his lips and on their screens: With around 3.5 million TikTok\, 1 million Instagram and over 300 thousand Snapchat followers\, his social media presence and his debut release “First Dance” are very well received. In the media\, he was compared to Cole Swindell and Justin Bieber. The latter seems to be considered a role model for Maddox Batson\, not least because of the earlier Sunny Boy aura and his youthful age at the beginning of his career. More than 377\,000 monthly listeners on Spotify also underline the statement of NBC Nightly News: “a young star… striking a chord and hitting all the right notes”. As part of the “Live! Worldwide” tour\, the US-American country pop sensation 2026 now also stops in Germany: Maddox plays Batson on 19. May the Cologne Club Kantine\, to on 21. May to enchant his Hamburg fans in Gruenspan with his talent. In addition to his charm and the indispensable acoustic guitar\, definitely included: the debut EP “First Dance” released in 2025. \nConcert featured by: CountryMusicNews.de \nRead our interview with Maddox Batson for CountryMusicNews.de \n  \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:John5 - Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:John5 – Tour2026 \nSupport: South Of Salem \nJOHN 5: The ultimate guitar virtuoso live in Germany! Three shows at the end of May in Cologne\, Hamburg\, and Munich \nFor over 30 years\, JOHN 5 has been one of the most sought-after guitarists in the world. In addition to his work as a songwriter and on-demand guitarist\, JOHN 5 has shared the stage with Rob Zombie\, Marilyn Manson\, and Rob Halford. In October 2022\, it was announced that JOHN 5 would be joining Mötley Crüe as their new guitarist following Mick Mars’s announcement of his retirement – ​​fulfilling perhaps this gifted guitarist’s greatest childhood dream. He has also collaborated with an impressive array of artists across all genres of music\, including KD Lang\, Rod Stewart\, David Lee Roth\, Alice Cooper\, Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Meat Loaf\, Dolly Parton\, and Ricky Martin. John 5 remains an integral part of Mötley Crüe\, most recently during a residency in Las Vegas in 2025. However\, to describe him as merely a “shredder” would not do justice to his talent. Award-winning guitarist and songwriter Slash is quoted as saying\, “John 5 is without a doubt one of the most incredible guitarists ever.” \nBorn John William Lowery in 1970 in Grosse Pointe\, Michigan\, John’s journey began at the age of seven\, inspired by the music of Hee Haw and Jimi Hendrix. Supported by his parents\, John began making waves in the local Detroit music scene as a teenager. He formed his first band\, Dirty Trixx\, which won a Battle of the Bands competition. This early success fueled his ambition\, and at 18\, John took the bold step of moving to Los Angeles. \nFate took another turn in 1998 when Marilyn Manson was looking for a new guitarist. Renamed John 5 by Manson\, he became an integral part of the band\, bringing his signature shredding style to songs such as the Grammy-nominated “Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes\,” the controversial 2000 album “Holy Wood: In The Shadow Of The Valley Of Death\,” and the burlesque- and Weimar Republic-inspired “The Golden Age of Grotesque.” \nFollowing a chance encounter with the legendary Les Paul\, John began working on his own music\, releasing “Vertigo” in 2004. This album marked the beginning of a prolific solo career\, during which he has released ten studio albums\, two live albums\, and one remix album. He has collaborated with artists such as Steve Vai and Albert Lee and explored a wide range of musical styles\, from blues-infused rock to experimental electronica. Most recently\, he gave his fans a glimpse into his life with the brand-new song “A Hollywood Story.” The track and accompanying video tell the story of John 5’s incredible journey\, from being a 7-year-old boy to working with many big\, diverse stars.

SUMMARY:Ben Kweller - Cover The Mirrors Tour
DESCRIPTION:Ben Kweller – Cover The Mirrors Tour \n\nBen Kweller has been one of the defining voices of US indie rock for over two decades. His career began in the 1990s as a teenager with the Texas alternative band Radish\, before his solo debut album\, Sha Sha\, brought him mainstream success in the early 2000s. Since then\, Kweller has moved effortlessly between indie rock\, anti-folk\, power pop\, and raw punk – always with an unmistakably autobiographical touch. \nThroughout his career\, he has toured with artists such as Jeff Tweedy and\, most recently\, Ed Sheeran\, and is now considered a mainstay of the indie scene. His songs oscillate between light and darkness\, between playful lightness and existential weight – an aesthetic he himself likes to describe with the symbols of a skull and a strawberry. \nWith his seventh studio album\, Cover the Mirrors\, Kweller now opens a particularly personal chapter. The album will be released on May 30\, 2025—his late son Dorian’s 19th birthday—via his own label\, The Noise Company. The title alludes to Jewish mourning rituals and symbolizes reflection\, remembrance\, and self-examination. \nRecorded in his home studio in Texas\, near the family gravesite\, the album is an intense exploration of loss\, love\, and moving on. Dorian\, himself a musician under the name ZEV and on the cusp of his own success\, died in a car accident in 2023. Instead of withdrawing\, Kweller consciously chose to use music as a means of healing. \nMusically\, Cover the Mirrors blends intimate piano ballads with high-energy rock. Songs like “Trapped”—originally written by his son—and “Going Insane” directly address the grief. Other tracks open up new sonic spaces: “Depression” was created in collaboration with Coconut Records (Jason Schwartzman)\, “Killer Bee” with The Flaming Lips\, and the final track\, “Oh Dorian” featuring MJ Lenderman\, feels less like a farewell and more like a reunion. \nAs in earlier phases of his career\, Kweller consciously draws on themes from his own life. The album feels like a circle closing: from his early days as a young musician to his father\, who allows his son to live on through music. \nCover the Mirrors is therefore not just a memorial album\, but a comprehensive self-portrait. For Ben Kweller\, music has always been a diary and an archive of his life—and in these songs\, Dorian remains present

SUMMARY:Tower Of Power - 58 Years Of Funk & Soul
DESCRIPTION:Tower Of Power – 58 Years Of Funk & Soul \nFor 58 years\, Tower of Power has stood for top-notch funk and soul music. “We were a soul band called The Motowns\,” recalls Emilio Castillo. “Rocco was the bassist\, I was in it\, and my brother was the drummer. In 1968\, I met ‘Doc’ Kupka and invited him to audition. He joined the band\, and eventually\, we changed our name to Tower of Power.” The reason for the name change was that the band had a specific goal in mind. They desperately wanted to perform at the legendary Fillmore Auditorium\, something that would have been impossible with a name like The Motowns and the corresponding stage attire of a soul cover band during the Love Revolution of the hippie movement. Tower of Power grew their hair long and began writing their own songs\, which would eventually become their debut album. \n“East Bay Grease” was released in 1970 and defined their sound. The album’s success landed them a contract with Warner Brothers. “Bump City\,” their debut album for the label in 1972\, was a massive hit on both the Billboard 200 and the R&B album charts and included hits like “You’re Still a Young Man” and “Down to the Nightclub.” Throughout the rest of the 1970s\, the band experienced a real boom thanks to radio successes like “So Very Hard to Go” and “What Is Hip?” They continued recording albums and touring the world. According to Castillo\, their love for the stage is as strong today as it was in 1968. \nIn 2018\, Tower of Power returned to Oakland to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Their infectious grooves and exuberant party atmosphere at their shows have been a reliable balm for the soul throughout their fifty-year existence\, but the release of “50 Years of Funk & Soul: Live at the Fox Theater” couldn’t have come at a better time\, propelling Tower of Power to another career peak. \nThe band has long since surpassed Castillo’s modest ambitions of the early years\, touring the world\, performing their own hits\, and supporting legendary artists such as Otis Redding\, Elton John\, Santana\, Grateful Dead\, John Lee Hooker\, Aerosmith\, Bonnie Raitt\, and countless others. In doing so\, they’ve defined an “Oakland Soul” sound that’s as unmistakable as the sound of Castillo’s hometown Detroit\, as well as inspirations from Memphis and Philadelphia. \nThe future of Tower of Power remains dynamic and energetic\, and that’s great news for their fans worldwide who crave the band’s signature groove—the kind only Tower of Power can create!

SUMMARY:Goose - An Evening With Goose
DESCRIPTION:Goose is an American rock band known for their genre-bending sound\, improvisational live performances\, and devoted fanbase. The band consists of Rick Mitarotonda (vocals\, guitar)\, Peter Anspach (vocals\, keyboards\, guitar)\, Trevor Weekz (bass)\, and Cotter Ellis (vocals\, drums). Their music—a skillful blend of indie rock hooks\, sprawling improvisations\, and driving rhythms—has propelled them from playing basement gigs in Connecticut to headlining shows on some of the nation’s most prestigious stages. Known for their strong DIY ethic\, Goose has grown organically through relentless touring and utilizing platforms like YouTube\, Bandcamp\, and nugs.net to share live performances and connect with fans. \nGoose will release their fifth studio album\, “Chain Yer Dragon\,” on August 14. It arrives just four months after “Everything Must Go\,” their first release since 2022’s critically acclaimed album “Dripfield\,” which reached number 2 on Billboard’s Top New Artist Albums chart and was praised by Rolling Stone as “sweet ear-pleasing music for headphones and the basis for a perfect live climax.” \nUnlike its predecessor\, “Everything Must Go” draws on the feeling of Goose’s live performances and features songs written during the last few years of their growth\, including reimagined live classics and tracks that capture their evolving\, dynamic sound. The album’s first single\, “Give It Time\,” peaked at number 6 on the AAA radio charts. Goose is the only band to have two songs (“Give It Time” and “Your Direction”) simultaneously charting on those charts. \nNow\, “Chain Yer Dragon” welcomes listeners into a rich\, polished world of music and familiar characters\, inviting them to follow the lights and sounds through seedy bars and long nights on the road\, fading into the clarity of a fresh dawn. Showcasing Goose’s versatility\, the album delivers 70s-style rock songs that feel familiar and are brought to life through improvisation. Playing with form\, the album is carried by a natural production style that once again captures the raw\, uninhibited feel of the band’s electrifying live shows. \n“Everything Must Go” garnered significant media attention upon its spring release\, including extensive features in The New York Times\, Vulture\, and other publications\, as well as a memorable appearance and interview with Anthony Mason on the CBS Saturday Morning Show. Hailed by SPIN as “a wide-ranging demonstration of the creative talent that has attracted such high-profile collaborators and a growing fanbase… 90 minutes of music that blends organic grooves with an increasing capacity for catchy melodic hooks\,” “Everything Must Go” has been praised by a host of publications\, including Uproxx\, which hailed it as “the band’s most weighty and satisfying studio album to date\,” Guitar Player\, which described it as “melodic yet adventurous\, full of righteous grooves\, elaborate electric guitar solos\, and other musical flourishes\,” and PopMatters\, which simply called it “superb… one of the best studio albums by a jam band to date.” The album is both a statement of intent from Goose and a kind of arrival—a journey for fans and newcomers alike through the group’s past\, present\, and infinite future. \nSince their beginnings\, when they recorded “Moon Cabin” in a barn in northern New Hampshire in 2016\, Goose has continued to refine their unique approach to songwriting and improvisation\, striking a rare balance between meticulously crafted songs\, precise musicianship\, and emotional honesty. Goose has sold out numerous venues across the United States\, including Madison Square Garden\, Radio City Music Hall\, Red Rocks Amphitheater\, and Forest Hills Stadium\, and has appeared on shows such as “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “CBS Saturday Morning.” The band has also performed at numerous legendary music festivals\, including the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival\, ACL\, and many others. Through their commitment to progress\, Goose continually reminds us that music isn’t simply played—it’s felt\, lived\, and shared.

SUMMARY:Blue October
DESCRIPTION:Blue October are coming to Germany in May 2026!  \nLone Star State rockers Blue October deliver an emotionally charged amalgam of heart-heavy post-grunge and slick modern rock. They found favor in 2006 with their platinum-selling fourth long-player Foiled\, which featured the chart-topping singles “Hate Me” and “Into the Ocean\,” and built on that success with a series of albums that saw them go from a radio-ready\, post-grunge act. (2011’s Any Man in America) to stadium-sized synth rockers with an unabashed flair for the dramatic (2016’s Home). In 2022\, they issued Spinning the Truth Around\, the first installment of a double-LP that concluded in 2023 with Volume 2. \nThe band was formed in 1995 in Houston by vocalist/guitarist Justin Furstenfeld\, who had begun penning angst-ridden rock songs with the help of his brother\, drummer Jeremy Furstenfeld\, and violinist Ryan Delahoussaye. The band has had twenty-one top 40 singles on the alternative rock chart over the span of thirteen studio albums. \n\n
