Johnny Franck's solo project hits Hamburg, Berlin, Munich and Cologne on headline tour for the first time

With Bilmuri, US singer and guitarist Johnny Franck launched a solo project in 2016 that has long since built on the success of his former band Attack Attack! His incomparably large output of 14 albums in 8 years and several songs that have been streamed millions of times breaks all genre boundaries and creates a modern sound between pop, alternative rock and post-hardcore that is celebrated worldwide on Spotify and YouTube. After recently signing to Columia Records, Bilmuri released the current album "American Motor Sports" in June 2024, which marked the final breakthrough with songs such as "BETTER HELL" and "ALL GAS (Thicc boi)" . In November, Bilmuri will be supporting Sleep Token, while the band will be coming to Germany for the first time in March 2025 for four shows as part of a headline tour.

This was followed in the same year by "Bilmuri", which brought another facet to the singer's sound with the calm "Timing" , as well as the album "Letters", also with 9 tracks, on which "Pain" and "Near" became the first major hits.
