On July 28th and 29th Cologne’s Tanzbrunnen will open its doors once again welcoming 12,000 Amphi fans from all around to celebrate with 42 bands at the shores of the river Rhine. The two-day festival lures dark music lovers with a superb and diverse, international line-up ranging from Synth Pop to Industrial and Post Punk to Dark Rock, presenting traditional, iconic artistes next to modern acts.
Amphi 2018 will be headlined by AND ONE next to German Gothic Novel Rockers ASP, who have played Amphi eight years ago for the last time. One can look forward to an entertaining Synth Pop party with the former and a fiery blast with the latter. With the new wave pioneers ORCHESTRAL MANOUVRES IN THE DARK (OMD) and the extraordinary MIDGE URE (VISAGE, THIN LIZZY, ULTRAVOX) Amphi celebrates the 80ies with us. Thinking of Industrial Pop super group AESTHETIC PERFECTION, popular electro favorites SOLAR FAKE, the dark rockers UNZUCHT, or the one and only Mr. JOACHIM WITT, fans will also be happy to welcome back some great acts that have already graced the Amphi stages in recent years.

On top of the characteristic AMPHI vibes at the Tanzbrunnen with its stages right at the river with the famous Gothic Cologne Cathedral in sight on the other side, there is of course the popular beach club “KM 689” for the sun worshippers and also the more shade-giving mead lounge at the fountain. Another hot spot one also don't want to miss is the gothic-market for some shopping and the signing sessions to meet and greet your favorite artists.
The opening event “Call the Ships to Port” on Friday, July 27th, will get this year’s AMPHI started and is already sold out by now. The acts EISFAKBRIK, SUICIDE COMMANDO, and COVENANT will rock the AMPHI boat ride on the MS RheinEnergie. If you couldn’t grab a ticket, there is still the official pre-party lead by high-class DJs: Sven Friedrich (SOLAR FAKE), Daniel Graves (AESTHETIC PERFECTION), Der Schulz (UNZUCHT) and DJ MSTH (ELECTRONICDANCEART) will kick off our Friday night at 10pm raising the roof of the Theater stage. Tickets for the pre-party are 6.60€ (plus fees) and are exclusively available at Amphi Shop (www.amphi-shop.de). Furthermore, tickets are available at all nationwide CTS/EVENTIM box-offices, online at www.eventim.de, www.oeticket.com, www.ticketcorner.ch and as PRINT@HOME edition.
