AnnenMayKantereit - “Live 2026” - Support: Dilla
‘Alles nix Konkretes’ (Everything’s Not Concrete): That was the title of the Cologne-based band ANNENMAYKANTEREIT’s first album in 2016. It couldn’t have been a better title. Because back then, there really wasn’t a career plan; the motto was more like: just do it, follow the vibe, see what happens. In 2026, ANNENMAYKANTEREIT are finally returning with a new tour: From July, the band will be playing concerts in Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. New music is already available to hear and see: ‘Nur wir beide’ (Just the Two of Us).

Waldbühne, Berlin, Germany11th July 2026
Pet Shop Boys - “Dreamworld - The Greatest Hits Live” - DJ Support: Michael Mayer
Berlin offered an almost overwhelming choice of concerts this weekend: DIE TOTEN HOSEN, THE CURE, SYSTEM OF A DOWN and DAVID GARRETT were all performing in the city. Remaining faithful to my electronic ideals, however, there was never much doubt about my destination. I took my new camera to its concert debut at the Waldbühne, where PET SHOP BOYS brought their long-running “Dreamworld - The Greatest Hits Live” tour back to Berlin.

Interview withAnna Graves (vocals and synths) and Sara Rock (bass guitar and backing vocals) from Soft Scent
One band who really piqued my interest last year, was Italian darkwave trio SOFT SCENT. Formed in 2023 and comprising of Anna Graves (vocals, keyboards and synths), Sara Rock (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Enrico (drums), their music is an exquisite fusion of Darkwave and Post-Punk. Their sound blends beautiful, moody synths with heavy, driving basslines. The staccato edginess of Anna’s vocals is reminiscent of German 80s outfit X-MAL DEUTSCHLAND.
