23rd & 24th July 2022
Amphi Festival 2022 with VNV Nation, Eisbrecher, Mono Inc., The Birthday Massacre, Diary of Dreams, Suicide Commando, London After Midnight, Solar Fake, Mesh, Aesthetic Perfection and many more

After two pandemic years, the shores of the river Rhine in Cologne are once again calling for us this summer. End of July is Amphi time! Since 2005 the two-day festival has been luring dark music lovers from all around with a high-class, diverse, international line-up ranging from Synth Pop to Industrial and Post Punk to Dark Rock. Traditional and iconic artistes share the stage with modern and rising acts promising a multi-coloured black celebration at the “dancing fountain”, the Tanzbrunnen, in Cologne.

VNV NATION and EISBRECHER will once more be headliners of the festival. THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE were absent from German stages for quite a while, so it is a big pleasure to welcome them on Amphi Festival, with a new album in their luggage. DIARY OF DREAMS are steady guests at the festival and will play one of their rare German shows 2020 at Amphi since the band is currently working on their new album, promised for autumn this year. ZEROMANCER from Norway, who released their new album to be last year, were originally planned for the festival, but had to cancel for health issues. The mix of Gothic, Wave, Synth Pop, Electronic music and Post Punk surely offers something for anyone.

The final running order is not set yet and will be announced in time before the festival.

Amphi stands for musical extravaganza for all Electro and Dark Rock lovers taking place around the open-air Main Stage, the indoor venue Theatre and aboard the MS RheinEnergie. You may also relax and take a break at the popular beach club “KM 689” or have a drink at the mead lounge at the fountain. Another hot spot you also don’t want to miss is the gothic-market for a stroll and some shopping. And of course there will be some signing sessions to meet and greet your favourite artists.
