Janus – Jubilee Tour

A legend. A rebellion of old gentlemen? JANUS are celebrating their 20th anniversary. Tobias Hahn (piano) and Dirk ''RIG'' Riegert (vocals) spent most of that time in hibernation. Then came their uprising, their show at the Amphi Festival 2014 and now: A small, delicate anniversary tour. JANUS live. With a program which consists of two programs: At first only JANUS which means Tobias at the concert piano, RIG singing (and it is rumoured that there might appear the one or other new composition). Then: JANUS celebrating their very own mix of rock and classic, jazz and gothic with five other musicians. With unusual orchestration: percussion, marimba, cello, clarinet and contrabass. It is safe to say that clichés will be avoided.

Nevertheless, JANUS suggest in a friendly way that tissues won't be passed around and now: “Climb the mountain Morija with Abraham, listen to the whisperer in the dark, get carried away in hotel Eden, end Paula's game, open the last door and realise what breaks us apart. But most of all, be punctual as there is no support act which has to be endured. JANUS performs from the beginning and not less than two hours.” Since JANUS consists of infirm elderly men there will also be a short break during the program. According to rumours, the two crazy men will take a seat in an armchair with a glass of wine on stage, put their feet up and tell the one or other anecdote from 20 years...
