The Darkness - “Permission to Land 20th Anniversary” - Special guest: Afrodiziac

It’s celebration time! The album ‘Permission to Land’, which put THE DARKNESS onto the map of music aficionados worldwide, and - with its unbridled embrace of Glam Rock - counteracted the prevailing the zeitgeist at the beginning of this millennium, is getting two decades old and needed a heavy celebration-

Agent Side Grinder - “Jack Vegas Tour 2023”

The Swedish AGENT SIDE GRINDER combine the sound of early DEPECHE MODE with ALPHAVILLE and KRAFTWERK sounds and underscore this with hauntingly dark vocals. Synth Pop, Post Punk, Minimal and Industrial samples mix into a sombre, driving sound. For the first time, the band came to Münster to present the new album ‘Jack Vegas’, released in spring 2023.

Peter Heppner’s TanzZwang Vol.2

Since the successful collaboration with SCHILLER and two hits ‘Dream Of You’ and ‘Leben... I Feel You’, it has become clear: PETER HEPPNER’s unique voice is suitable not only for melancholic songs, but also harmonizes perfectly with Electro and Dance Pop music. So, it was only a matter of time before Heppner released their own album in this “Tanzzwang” style, namely in a double package with the current album ‘Confessions & Doubts’. And since dance sounds work best in a club, that’s exactly what this project is for! In addition to keyboardist Dirk Riegner, the evening’s guests also included two local DJs, who provided an atmospheric setting for PETER HEPPNER’s performance.

Paul Carrack - Live 2023 - Support: Lauren Ray

One of the most extraordinary event locations is the Christ-Church in Bochum. Concerts have also been held in this Protestant church for many years. The excellent acoustics have already delighted a number of artists and audiences. On this evening, the pews were filled with an older audience. The guest was the British singer and songwriter PAUL CARRACK with his band. Most people know him as a member of the band MIKE & THE MECHANICS, but he is also a composer for many other artists. LAUREN RAY played on her electric piano with a magical voice in the supporting program.

Solar Fake - Support: Mental Exile

Yesterday, Sven Friedrich took the stage at Kulttempel with MORPHOSE, and today he’s performing there again, this time with his colleagues from SOLAR FAKE, almost twice in a row. Joining them as a special guest is MENTAL EXILE. Singer Damasius Venys has already shared the stage with SOLAR FAKE as support multiple times this year. However, he did so with FUTURE LIED TO US, the collaborative project with Vasi Vallis and Krischan Jan-Eric Wesenberg. Today, he’s performing with his solo project, MENTAL EXILE, where he is supported live by his partner Daniele Jaeger. And the two of them have a surprise guest with them as well, but more on that later.
