The Berlin-based duo LEA PORCELAIN has been building up the suspense for a long time, which they were able to fully redeem in the summer with the release of their debut ‘Hymns to the Night’. Internationally there were enthusiastic reviews and the band toured throughout Europe including highlights such as an ALT-J support tour or a release concert at the legendary London Rough Trade Store. But since Markus Nikolaus and Julien Bracht do not want to rest on their laurels, they continued their studio work almost seamlessly between the live shows.

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.

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.

‘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’.
