Marcus Wiebusch

In the organizer's words:

While he can now look back on six studio albums and countless concerts in German-speaking countries as the singer and guitarist of the Hamburg band Kettcar since 2001, his catalog contains countless other remarkable pieces that have not found their way onto a stage for decades, in some cases never before.

In the early summer of 2025, Marcus Wiebusch will be playing four of his rare solo concerts under the title "Songs & Stories" to bring some of them to light. And solo here does not mean supported by a backing band, as on the remarkable 2014 solo album "Konfetti", which included the lighthouse song "Der Tag wird kommen", but really all alone on stage.

So you can expect the unexpected at the four concerts in Worpswede, Cologne, Langenberg and Wiesbaden: Songs from the "Hippiekacke" solo tape that are over thirty years old, some of which are still relevant today, songs from his justifiably legendary band "...But Alive", which in just eight years of existence has left behind a legacy that can still be felt today, the love numbers on the Kettcar albums that never made the leap from the studio to the live set, or rearranged songs from the solo album, which was only toured once over ten years ago. Secret hits and deep cuts.

The concert evenings also offer space to talk about circumstances, genesis stories and experiences - because the fact that Marcus Wiebusch was a key driving force and glue for the national and international punk and hardcore scene of the 1990s, toured the USA and Canada with sophisticated German punk and was the first to bring many pioneering bands to Europe are just a few of the stories that could be told.
