Today we turn back the clock to the heyday of the 80s. An era in which we “audio cassette children” (instead of our smartphones) waited mesmerized in front of our radios, circling the record button with our forefinger until they finally played our favorite song! It was the great time of Synthpop, NewWave and that hint of avant-garde that turned pioneering spirit into a time of new heroes!We are very proud to announce OMD and MIDGE URE for the Amphi Festival 2018 – two of those exceptional artists who wrote music history worldwide. Furthermore with GRENDEL, GRAUSAME TÖCHTER and SYNTHATTACK we also have fresh new entrances from the Industrial-Electro scene for you.

Die Kantine, Cologne, Germany24th February 2018
Highly Suspect, Welles
Once again, Cologne residents have the chance to marvel at Grammy nominees HIGHLY SUSPECT, the alternative rock band from Brooklyn, NYC in the very intimate surrounding of the Kantine in Cologne. Much like last year’s gig in the Luxor, this one is going to sell out fast, so get your tickets in time to have a chance to see this band in a small venue. HIGHLY SUSPECT have released their debut studio album ‘Mister Asylum’ back in 2015, which featured their smash hit single ‘Lydia’, a song that was loved by Alternative rock radio stations.

Matrix, Bochum, Germany21st February 2018
Alien Ant Farm, Soil, Local H
‘Back from the dead’ is certainly an overstatement, but it’s been a while, since ALIEN ANT FARM, the alternative rock band from Riverside, California, have made it into the headlines. Some of you might have to go back until the turn of the millennium, when their brilliant cover of MICHAEL JACKSON’s song ‘Smooth Criminal’ made it into the charts. Back then they were on top of the game, playing tours with LINKIN’ PARK, PAPA ROACH, and releasing songs for soundtracks, such as ‘American Pie 2’ or ‘Spiderman’ and video games, such as ‘Tony Hawk’s pro skater’.

EDITORS today unveil their new single ‘Magazine’, taken from forthcoming album ‘Violence’. A dizzyingly bright, yet barbed opening salvo, ‘Magazine’ marks an intriguing stylistic shift for EDITORS. The single, the band’s first in three years, is an anthemic pop song that savagely attacks the empty gestures and posturing of those in power. Built around a rousing chorus, swelling keys and crunching, industrial chords, ‘Magazine’ is a muscular, dynamic call-to-arms. Sure to whet the appetite for ‘Violence’ and strike an emotional chord with their legions of fans, ‘Magazine’ demonstrates an ambition from EDITORS that their latest work is destined for the biggest stages this summer.- Details

Essigfabrik, Cologne, Germany7th February 2018
Motionless In White, Cane Hill, Ice Nine Kills
Originally the Metalcore Goth band MOTIONLESS IN WHITE (MIW) was scheduled to play the cozy Luxor, but due to popular demand the concert had to be shifted to the more spacious Essigfabrik in Cologne. This is still a long bat away from their popularity in the United States, where they usually fill much larger venues, but this is not the first time it takes a bit longer for popularity to cross the Atlantic.
