SUMMARY:Public Image Ltd
DESCRIPTION:Public Image Ltd \n“THIS IS NOT THE LAST TOUR!” –\nPUBLIC IMAGE LTD announce concerts in Germany\nHamburg\, November 28\, 2025. PUBLIC IMAGE LTD\, the legendary post-punk innovators led by John Lydon\, have announced concerts in Germany for 2026. Following their successful comeback in recent years and the acclaimed album “End of World” (2023)\, the band is returning to the big stages once again – with a tour celebrating PUBLIC IMAGE LTD’s musical evolution from 1978 to the present day. Tickets go on sale today\, November 28\, 2025\, at 12:00 PM at www.eventim.de and on other platforms. \nPUBLIC IMAGE LTD was founded in 1978 after John Lydon led the Sex Pistols. The band quickly became one of the most influential projects of the post-punk era. Their unconventional\, ever-evolving sound—a blend of rock\, dance\, folk\, pop\, and dub—and their uncompromising attitude earned PUBLIC IMAGE LTD five UK Top 20 singles and five UK Top 20 albums. From their groundbreaking debut\, “First Issue\,” through cult releases like “Metal Box” and “That What Is Not” (1992)\, Lydon and various lineups shaped the musical landscape of their time like few other bands. \nAfter a 17-year hiatus\, Lydon reactivated PUBLIC IMAGE LTD in 2009. Since then\, the band has toured the world and released three critically acclaimed studio albums: “This is PiL” (2012)\, “What The World Needs Now…” (2015)\, and most recently\, “End of World” (2023). \nThe announcement of the new tour follows a period in which Lydon believed he might never perform live again. In 2023\, he lost two of the most important people in his life within a few months: his wife Nora in April and his lifelong friend and manager John Rambo Stevens in December\, immediately after the conclusion of the last PUBLIC IMAGE LTD tour. Lydon spoke openly about how he saw little chance of touring again at that time. However\, the overwhelming support of fans and the response to his spoken-word performances gave him renewed strength—and ultimately the impetus to bring PUBLIC IMAGE LTD back to the stage. \nThe 2026 tour marks the beginning of a new chapter for PUBLIC IMAGE LTD. The band will present a powerful live show\, blending classics from their entire history with new material. John Lydon is as determined as ever and looks forward to sharing the energy and intensity of his band live with fans once again. \n

SUMMARY:The Adicts - Adios Amigos
DESCRIPTION:The Adicts – Adios Amigos Farewell Tour 2026 \nSupport: Maid Of Ace\, Collapse \nQuite possibly more relevant than ever before\, the classic kings of Punk THE ADICTS have returned with astounding intensity on their latest release: And It Was So. Genuine Punk Rock has always been about sending a message\, but more importantly it’s about remaining true to your roots\, and for decades\, THE ADICTS have never tried to become anything but what they are: raw\, unadulterated Punk Rock. \nFirst establishing themselves in Ipswich\, Suffolk\, ENGLAND as early as 1975\, and putting out their first full length album on Dwed Records “Songs Of Praise” in 1981\, THE ADICTS have had decades to perfect their craft. Their motivation is tireless\, unending\, and they are entirely dedicated to purity of music which in today’s scene is rare to say the least. The two primary types of fuel used to ignite THE ADICTS fire are most certainly their diehard fans\, and the true art form that is the creation of their own original music. \nStaying true to their personal taste is part of what caught the recent attention of Nuclear Blast Records. When it comes to music THE ADICTS write what they want to; they’ve never been into the fashion of it all. There are currently no pressures being put on the band\, whereas years ago they were under so much pressure that none of them even wanted to write. After signing to the new label\, and with new music ready and waiting to be presented to millions of fans all over the world\, THE ADICTS are shifting into the craziness of our modern world and all its influence. \nThe new album is very diverse and there’s definitely something on there for everybody: some politics\, some stories\, and some tongue in cheek digs at the media. In a world saturated with media influence and brainwashing\, THE ADICTS message is probably just as relative today (if not\, more so) as it was years ago. Tracks like the title track “And It Was So\,” have a classic\, straightforward message like: we’re here\, we’re not going anywhere: this is us\, and this is what you’ll always get. The track “Talking Shit” is a classic reflection of going out\, getting drunk\, talking shit\, and pissing off those around you who are easily offended. The album also has some darker tracks like “You’ll Be The Death of Me\,” or “Picture The Scene” which talks about the artists of surrealism. \nThe recording process this album cycle was also a new experience. Without any manufactured sounds THE ADICTS finally did it the way they’ve always wanted to do it: as a real band. They feel that they’ve captured with this album\, for the first time\, how [they] actually sound\, live.\nTHE ADICTS remain very busy\, constantly touring with as many as 50 shows a year. Their fans\, and the following of hardcore Punk Rockers that are dedicated to their message are such a motivator for the band that they wouldn’t exist without them. Being so close with their fans\, at every concert\, it doesn’t matter where\, the band will be out and about\, walking around. Nothing’s ever going to stop them from going out and meeting their followers. They’re thrilled that so many generations attend their shows. The old fans are coming out the woodwork\, too\, some saying they thought they were too old to go out to concerts. What a silly thing to think! \nWith have even more future tunes in the works\, they aren’t afraid to jump back in when the time is perfect. Guitarist Pete Dee explains: “We’re writing some good shit. Hopefully the people get off on it because that’s what it boils down to\, isn’t it?” With their original line up still mostly intact and with a couple new additions; Pete Dee\, Kid Dee\, Monkey\, and Highko Strom are not tiring of anything remotely related to THE ADICTS. “We’re very satisfied as a band; we’re very happy. This is one of our happiest times. We are what we are and the beautiful thing is: the kids like it. There’s a lot of positivity so we’re just going to keep on rocking… and enjoying it.” \nMaid of Ace is an all-female English punk rock band composed of four sisters from Hastings\, South-coast England. Formed in 2005\, they are known for their high-octane energy\, raw vocal rage\, and hard-hitting\, straight-to-the-point punk rock sound. The band consisting of siblings Alison\, Anna\, Amy\, and Abby all share the same initials\, which inspired their name\, “ACE” \nCollaps is a prominent contemporary German punk rock and Oi! band originating from the Ruhr Area (specifically Herne\, North Rhine-Westphalia). Formed in 2022\, the group functions as a subcultural “supergroup” consisting of scene veterans who have previously played in well-known underground outfits such as Brutal Bravo\, Complete Loss\, and Gewohnheitstrinker.

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: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:AFI
DESCRIPTION:AFI \nFor over thirty years\, AFI (short for A Fire Inside) have been synonymous with captivating guitar riffs and catchy tracks blending rock\, punk\, and hardcore\, earning them not only platinum certifications but also a loyal global fanbase. Now\, they’re coming to Cologne in August for a show in support of their latest album\, “Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…”. Founded in California in 1991\, the band has consistently pursued its own path from the very beginning. From the uncompromising hardcore of their early years\, through the dark and melodic punk phases of the early 2000s\, to the multifaceted alternative rock sounds of later releases\, the band has continually reinvented itself without losing its core identity. Albums like “Sing the Sorrow” (2003) and “Decemberunderground” (2006) exemplify this evolution and mark important milestones that have resonated far beyond the scene. With “Miss Murder” (2006)\, they achieved international success that firmly established their position. The Californians are known for their exceptionally intense live performances. Their shows thrive on dynamism\, contrasts\, and an immediate connection with the audience. Frontman Davey Havok is at the heart of a sound that oscillates between controlled energy and emotional depth. Together with Jade Puget\, Hunter Burgan\, and Adam Carson\, he creates an atmosphere that both draws on the band’s early influences and reflects their later evolution. With their latest album\, “Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…” (2025)\, AFI opens another chapter. The LP expands the band’s sonic landscape\, blending familiar elements with new approaches. Between dark aesthetics\, catchy structures\, and experimental moments\, the band’s ambition to avoid repetition and instead push the boundaries is evident once again. In August\, Germany will have the opportunity to experience AFI in all their facets live when they come to Cologne for a show.

SUMMARY:Betontod - Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:Betontod – Tour 2026 \nIt’s the summer of 1990 in the smoking area of ​​the local school in a small town on the Lower Rhine. Four budding punk rockers meet and swap their first LPs. They’re metal bands like Maiden\, Metallica\, and Slayer\, but also the first punk records from Die Goldenen Zitronen and Slime. They quickly agree to start a band. All they need is a singer. That changes that day when a boy (newly arrived from Hanover) with bright red hair walks into the schoolyard. It’s immediately clear: no one but him could be the frontman of their punk band. This boy with the fitting name: Meister. \nWe fast forward several hundred pallets of Hansa Pils and several years. The boys\, who used to rehearse in the basement of the local butcher shop amidst halves of ham\, are now hitting the stages of Wacken and Rock am Ring. This path was rocky\, instructive\, and forged an even stronger bond within the band. Along the way\, they not only gained experience but also shared the stage with many bands whose records they used to trade. Supporting Die Toten Hosen on their 40th anniversary tour was like a knighthood for the band. Well over 1000 concerts and 35 years later\, you can still feel that fire burning brightly\, and today they are more than capable of setting every venue and every audience ablaze. \n

SUMMARY:Spike & The Gimme Gimmes
DESCRIPTION:Spike & The Gimme Gimmes is heading to Germany for Six Concerts This Autumn \nSpike & the Gimme Gimmes might just be the most entertaining cover band of all time. Since 1995\, this US supergroup has been delivering spectacular moments with their punk-rock renditions of pop songs. This autumn\, they are returning to Germany for a six-date tour.\nThe band—which performed under the name\n“Me First and The Gimme Gimmes”\nuntil last year—has truly\nearned its status as a supergroup:\nEach of the five\nfounding members had already\nestablished a serious musical career prior to joining. Originally\, Spike Slawson (Swingin’ Utters)\, Fat Mike (NOFX)\, Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters)\, Joey Cape (Lagwagon)\, and Dave Raun (Lagwagon) came together through their shared love of punk music. Nowadays\, the band performs in rotating lineups centered around lead singer Spike Slawson.\nThe idea to record punk covers of well-known pop songs quickly took shape. Over the years\, this led to the release of several acclaimed albums\, each dedicated to a specific theme: Their debut\, *Have a Ball* (1997)\, focused on classic singer-songwriters of the 1960s and ’70s\, while *Are a Drag* (1999) tackled Broadway show tunes. In 2001\, *Blow in the Wind* brought the focus back to the 1960s\, followed in 2003 by *Take a Break*\, an album packed with R&B tracks. Most recently\, 2006 saw the release of *Love Their Country*—a Western-themed album—and 2014 brought *Are We Not Men? We Are Diva!*—a pop-centric release.\nAs you can see\, anything is possible with Spike & the Gimme Gimmes. And above all\, it’s always a blast! In addition to several EPs and compilations\, their discography also includes the aptly titled live album\, *Ruin Jonny’s Bar Mitzvah*. And it wasn’t the last LP to emerge from a teenage party: in 2024\, *¡Blow it…at Madison’s Quinceañera!* arrived as a worthy successor.\nFittingly—given the music’s penchant for exaggeration—the band members typically take the stage in matching costumes. However\, this in no way detracts from their musically flawless performance; quite the opposite\, in fact. This autumn\, Spike & The Gimme Gimmes are finally returning to the stage—playing no fewer than six concerts across Germany!

SUMMARY:Kitty\, Daisy & Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Kitty\, Daisy & Lewis \nWhen Kitty\, Daisy\, and Lewis Durham\, three siblings from London’s Kentish Town\, play music\, they take us on a journey into the past. With their style blending swing\, blues\, country\, bluegrass\, and rock ‘n’ roll\, the trio and their band will be coming to Germany next October for eight concerts\, promising unforgettable performances and the chance to present their new album live—an album fans have been eagerly awaiting for nine long years. \nSince their self-titled debut in 2008\, Kitty\, Daisy & Lewis have skillfully bridged the decades. Their musical heroes\, influenced by music from their childhood home\, include Louis Armstrong\, Nina Simone\, Ray Charles\, Sam Cooke\, and Rufus Thomas. The album\, recorded—like all its successors—using period equipment\, features numerous interpretations of their heroes’ classics\, as well as original compositions by the siblings. The siblings are all multi-instrumentalists and create a diverse soundscape for their music through the use of instruments such as the double bass\, trombone\, accordion\, and harmonica. \nThe trio continued the international success of their debut with the albums “Smoking In Heaven” (2011)\, “The Third” (2015)\, and their most recent release\, “Superscope” (2017). In recent years\, Kitty\, Daisy & Lewis have worked relentlessly and are now known for their unique and unmistakable retro style. To ensure that this style translates exactly as they envision it on their recordings\, Lewis Durham\, the middle brother\, conceived and built Durham Sound Studio in the Camden district of London. While some of the studio’s equipment looks like it belongs in a museum\, the quality of the equipment has earned them a strong reputation. In these premises\, Lews Durham has been producing not only his own albums since 2011\, but also those of many other artists in search of a particularly warm retro sound. \nThis is one reason why fans have had to be so patient lately. While Kitty\, Daisy & Lewis have toured somewhere in the world almost every year\, new music has been conspicuously absent. Now the wait is finally over: in 2026\, after a nine-year hiatus\, their new\, currently untitled album will be released. This will be followed by an extensive European tour\, demonstrating their tremendous work ethic: Kitty\, Daisy & Lewis will play their eight German shows in Leipzig\, Hamburg\, Berlin\, Nuremberg\, Aschaffenburg\, Cologne\, Munich\, and Schorndorf without a single day off\, all within eight days.

SUMMARY:UK Subs - 50 Years of UK Punkrock
DESCRIPTION:UK Subs – 50 Years of UK Punkrock \nWith 2026 marking the U.K. Subs’ 50th anniversary; this legendary punk band continues to represent the true spirit of punk rock. Inspired by the Damned at the birth of British Punk\, the now equally legendary Charlie Harper formed the Subs out of his then R&B outfit The Marauders\, circa summer 1977.Starting out as The Subversives\, the name was shortened to The Subs and then changed to U.K. Subs\, whilst early line-ups merged their high-speed R&B sound into punk.October 1977 saw Charlie joined by Nicky Garratt on guitar\, and it was the Harper/Garratt song writing partnership that would go on to collaborate on the band’s most successful record releases. Through 1977 and 1978 the band played shows all over London including the infamous Roxy punk club\, building up a fiercely loyal and sizeable following. Their first ‘recorded’ output was on the ‘Farewell To The Roxy’ LP.This bought them to the attention of John Peel who was obviously impressed enough to offer to finance their first single. However\, City Records ended up releasing their first brilliant single\, C.I.D\, in September 1978. It became a huge indie number 1 hit. In 1979\, they signed to Gem Records and surprised everyone by becoming one of the most consistently and visibly successful punk bands\, with seven consecutive UK Top 30 hits between 1979-81 – Stranglehold\, Tomorrows Girls\, She’s Not There\, Warhead\, Teenage\, Party In Paris and Keep On Running. They also scored two UK top ten albums – Brand New Age and Crash Course – establishing themselves throughout the world with a heavy touring schedule that still continues to this day.Led by the indefatigable 72 years young Charlie Harper – now venerated as the godfather of UK punk – the band has continued to improve through various line-ups and record companies. Still touring worldwide\, they maintain that true spirit of punk rock continuing to inspire each subsequent generation of fans. There has never been any division of fan and band with the Subs\, and Charlie’s unrelenting love of his audience and music shines through. This is something that galvanized listeners of Steve Lamacq’s BBC 6music show to vote them as the most respected of Punk ‘icons’\, to win the 2010 Punk World Cup.2016 saw the eagerly anticipated final album ‘Ziezo’ released – via a fabulously successful PledgeMusic campaign – to a crescendo of critical acclaim\, as they completed their quest to be the first band to release their official albums alphabetically A to Z!. The worldwide touring regime has continued apace – including the USA\, Europe and Japan as the band continue to entertain and amaze with their powerful live shows.With a fabulous line up in place of Charlie\, Steve Straughan on guitar\, Alvin Gibbs on bass and Stefan Haublein on drums\, the U.K. Subs continue to entertain\, enlighten and enthuse with blistering recordings as well as their ever-popular enthralling live shows.Like a vintage wine – the U.K. Subs just get better and better.

SUMMARY:Kid Kapichi
DESCRIPTION:Kid Kapichi \nKid Kapichi belongs to a new generation of punk bands who aren’t afraid to weave political activism into their sound; on the contrary\, a trademark of the quartet is their unflinching use of their raw songs to hold up an unvarnished mirror to society. This is one of many reasons why the Hastings-based group is considered one of the most important up-and-coming British bands in their genre. Formed during the Covid pandemic\, it’s no wonder that Kid Kapichi have displayed an unparalleled anger and intensity since their self-produced debut album\, “This Time Next Year.” Their subsequent album\, “Here’s What You Could Have Won\,” released in 2022\, brought them their breakthrough in the UK indie and punk scene\, where\, in addition to their raw\, uncompromising punk sound\, Kid Kapichi were celebrated above all for the political message in their songs. Whether it’s Brexit\, social inequality\, or the general frustration that regularly plagues people in light of the state of the world – the band addresses in their songs exactly what’s on their minds and those around them. \nWith their new album\, “Fearless Nature\,” Kid Kapichi are breaking new ground for the first time. This might seem logical given the change in the band’s lineup\, but the British band is ushering in a new era not only in their personnel. While the quartet’s previous works were dominated by stories and observations of other people and social issues\, singer Jack Wilson offers a glimpse into his inner world for the first time on “Fearless Nature.” The sharp and powerful instrumentals remain\, but they are complemented by more mature\, reflective lyrics from the singer’s inner life\, revealing an authentic vulnerability surrounding the topic of mental health. However\, those who have followed the band for some time know that the title of their fourth album\, “Fearless Nature\,” is not a coincidence. Since their inception\, the British band has proven themselves to be true\, fearless forces of nature. This quality is especially evident in their live performances. Concerts have always been central to the band’s life\, with Kid Kapichi known for their boundless energy and extremely intense sets. Anyone wanting to experience this for themselves will have five opportunities to do so at the end of the year during their “Down The Rabbit Hole” tour in Germany.

SUMMARY:Buster Shuffle - don´t get used to this tour 2027
DESCRIPTION:Buster Shuffle – don´t get used to this tour 2027 \nBuster Shuffle: Piano punk from London’s East End \nWith piano-driven punk anthems and the firm resolution to turn every stage into a party\, Buster Shuffle has established themselves across the scenes in recent years. Already the debut ‘Our Night Out’ (2010) brought the rough sound of London to the point: pub nights\, bus tours\, hangover romance. The British press grinned widely\, UNCUT gave four stars\, The Guardian and The Mirror took off the hat. \nWith the second album ‘Do Nothing’ it became clear that Buster Shuffle is going their own way\, which is also celebrated by greats like Roddy Radiation (The Specials) and Micky Gallagher (The Blockheads\, The Clash). Madness also invited them twice to their legendary House of Fun Weekender. At the latest it was clear: Buster Shuffle have found their home between ska purists\, punks and rock’n’roll fans alike. \nThis was also followed by the breakthrough on Europe’s stages. Whether in small Parisian clubs or at large German festivals. On tour they shared the stage with Flogging Molly\, Mad Caddies\, Less Than Jake\, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes or The Interrupters. In the USA\, Buster Shuffle earned the punk rock bowling in Las Vegas as well as a tour with the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. \nAfter the acclaimed album ‘Go Steady’ (2022)\, Buster Shuffle released their sixth studio album with ‘Together’ (2025). Including entry into the UK Independent Charts and the German album charts. \nToday\, Buster Shuffle is one of the most exciting punk acts in Europe: rousing\, melodic\, uncompromising. \n
