DAF, Support: Tigerjunge

Music full of viciousness, sensuality, desire, and provocation - that's what DAF stand for. They are one of the most influential Electro bands that present their lyrics in German. Founded in 1978 DAF are seen as pioneers of Electro Punk, Emotional Body Music, and the Techno genre. With their album ‘Die Kleinen und die Bösen’ (transl. ‘The Little and the Evil Ones‘), the Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft (transl. “German American Friendship”) - DAF - became an international breakthrough act in 1980. Their follow-up albums ‘Alles ist Gut’ (‘All's Well’), ‘Gold und Liebe’ (‘Gold and Love’), and ‘Für immer’ (‘Forever’) were also widely celebrated. The combo said goodbye on their farewell tour two years ago, but now they are back again!

As on 22. & 23. July 2017 more than 12.000 members of the goth-scene from all over the world flock again to Tanzbrunnen Cologne, the Amphi Festival opens its portals for the thirteenth time. Successing last summer´s highly acclaimed return to its long-term venue and being awarded a silver star for its first decade of collaboration with the Tanzbrunnen, Amphi Festival 2017 content-wise spans a bridge between tradition and modern zeitgeist.

Taken as a whole, a wealth of 42 bands wait to please the crowd with magnificent shows, including the two thrilling headliners VNV NATION and EISBRECHER, both behemoths of live-entertainment and yet so different. Electronic enthusiasts will equally be served as the fans of chunky riffs! Outright the same goes for the rest of the programme, which, among many more, hauls the deeply rooted British goth-rock instance FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM to Cologne. Leading acts like APOPTYGMA BERZERK, COMBICHRIST, HOCICO, DIARY OF DREAMS, LORD OF THE LOST and EBM- / industrial rock pioneers DIE KRUPPS herald of what might be regarded as the strongest Amphi line-up yet.

The band around Gerrit Thomas and Rene Dornbusch returns to the dance floors of the world after several years of artistic break, reinforced by no one less than Chris L.

It is generally known that you cannot expect an ordinary village disco show from Chris L. With their new and elaborately decorated stage design, FUNKER VOGT will appear in a completely new glow. When the FUNKER goes into action, no eye remains dry and no leg stands still.
