Donots

The last few years have been good to the Donots - the tours and halls have been getting bigger and bigger, with sold-out concerts everywhere. In 2024, the Donots celebrated their 30th band birthday. From Ibbenbüren, they have taken punk rock out into the world and constantly developed their musical style. Their hits include "So Long", "Letzte Runde", "Calling", "Stop The Clocks" and "Augen Sehen". Their current album "Heut ist ein guter Tag" (Today is a good day) bears exactly this name, despite or perhaps because of the current overall situation. Positive punk rock, songs with clenched fists and a permanent grin on your face. A record like a place on the guest list for the apocalypse - free drinks included.

The Subways

It's been a proud 20 years since the British band The Subways secured their entry into the Indie Rock Premier League with a loud bang with their debut album "Young For Eternity". Songs like "Rock 'n' Roll Queen" or "Oh Yeah" are still part of every well-curated indie rock playlist today, which only goes to show even more impressively how the band from Hertfordshire managed to achieve a certain legendary status in their early years. In the years that followed, band members Billy Lunn, Charlotte Cooper and Josh Morgan, who were just 18 years old at the time of their debut, worked diligently on their discography. The follow-ups "All Or Nothing" (2008), "Money And Celebrity" (2011) and "The Subways" (2015) organically continued the band's alternative sound. In 2020, Josh Morgan left the band - he was succeeded on drums by Camille Phillips (previously with The Ramonas). 2023 saw the release of the current album "Uncertain Joys".

The Red Flags

The Red Flags move between grunge, punk and alternative rock and use their music as an outlet for their daily thoughts, fears and anger. Their songs are loud, boisterous and full of energy - addressing feminism, identity, social injustice and human relationships. Influenced by iconic bands like Nirvana, Hole and the Dead Kennedys as well as modern acts like Amyl And The Sniffers, the Cologne-based band gives the genre a fresh twist. With this unmistakable style, they are gradually carving out a firm place for themselves in the underground scene.

Uli Sailor Punkrock Piano

Uli Sailor has spent more than 25 years playing in various bands (including Tusq and Terrorgruppe) in front of thousands of fans and honing his skills. This experience has enabled him to find the perfect mix that combines the rebellious energy of punk rock with the subtle melancholy of the piano. He calls the result Punkrock Piano and it is an electrifying storm that reaches hearts and makes souls bop. People everywhere are excited because they expect punk rock and they get it, but they have definitely never experienced it like this before. While Uli Sailor used to cover the skate punk heroes of his youth, he has now completed his own songs. His well-known, steaming piano playing meets his very own personal lyrics from life about getting older, denial and the music scene.
