Dear Amphi Fans,
wishing you all the best for 2010 we embrace the new decade with a rumbling salute of two outstanding new band confirmations for the 6th Amphi Festival. While 31 artists already have confirmed their appearance, including the EBM veterans FRONTLINE ASSEMBLY, signing in just before Christmas, the bar rests high for our second to last new arrivals, which still literally let dreams come true:
New band confirmations: SKINNY PUPPY & SAMSAS TRAUM!
Based in their hometown Vancouver the boys from SKINNY PUPPY are already grinding the blades for their first Amphi Festival show. The Canadians, never shy for innovative sound design and stunning arrangements, are fascinating their faithful following worldwide, since 1982, walking razor´s edge between ingenius insanity and insane genius. When the sound wizards enter the Amphi stage for their epic inferno, cEvin Key and Nivek Ogre will take you along the journey with an enthralling audiovisual spectacle, you cannot afford to miss! Meanwhile the title of the latest SAMSAS TRAUM album „13 Jahre dagegen, Anti bis zum Tod…“ (13 years against, opposing until we die…) was cautiously chosen. For the ones an excentric enfant terrible for the others an ingenius mind with bold musical foresight, mastermind Alexander Kaschte belongs to the remaining few artists not afraid to upset people for their artistic vision. A Janushead who, a poetic storyteller now – then again turns into an uncompromising rocker, driven by the secrets of yet undiscovered places, revealed with every note.
5+1 Amphi Grouptickets only avilable until this weekend!
After the programme news we also have an important hint for the bargain hunters amongst you. As announced earlier the popular 5+1 group tickets (buy 6 pay 5) were already sold out for a short moment before Christmas. Thus we decided to prolong their availability until this very weekend. As the period comes to a close this is your last chance to obtain 5+1 group tickets from the Amphi Ticketshop. From Monday, 18.01.2010 on you can still buy original weekend, day and camping tickets for the Amphi 2010, but the 5+1 bargain bundles won't be available anymore.
A short glimpse into the future!
A lot of things are going on these days. While the live-programme of the 6th Amphi Festival, prospered to near completion with only one band missing, we are currently working on an extended supporting programme to be revealed in the next couple of weeks. As a prelude to the Amphi 2010 there will be numerous warm-up parties with lotteries and much more nationwide. The first dates are going to be announced soon. Finally the Zita Rock & Folk Festival and E-tropolis Festival in Berlin, are just about to spawn new band announcements as well. Stay curious as we proceed!
The DVD of the festival!
