Franziska Schicketanz
She writes German-language pop music that is sensitive, emotionally charged and tangibly honest to the listener. In it, the musician tells of love, special moments and their transience, but also of the fear of failure and the courage to overcome it again.
The Cologne native fell in love with music at a young age. But it took a few coincidences and encounters to finally lure her onto the stage. Since then, she has been making her way through the music jungle without a label or management behind her and has already played in front of Madeline Juno, Max Mutzke and Alin Coen.

Fredi Erdmann (from 7 pm)
Last summer, songwriter Fredi Erdmann got on his bike - with just a hammock and a trumpet in his luggage. A magical two weeks along the Atlantic coast produced his new CD album! Now he is cycling another 800 kilometers from Amsterdam to Freiburg, giving seven concerts on his way south. In Odonien, he plays with his buddy Ares Gnauk (guitar) from Düsseldorf, performing new songs, improvisations and travel stories.

Fyr (from 8 pm)
an interplay between dignified warmth and cold white. Initial relaxation increasingly meets the constant urge to be on the move: To me, to you, to us - the main thing is (re)finding.
An honest German-alternative sound for which Maurin Mehlhose (guitar), Patrick Schwarz (bass), Oliver Hopp (synthesizer), Matthias Benedikt (vocals/piano) and Johannes Biegl (drums) gently shape thoughts into colorful sound waves.
Schneid (from 9 pm)
With a symbiosis of spherical cinematic pop, electronica and alternative, the Cologne-based artist schneid dares to create a melancholic, dreamy sound aesthetic reminiscent of artists such as Trentemøller, Bob Moses, Olafur Arnalds, Ry X and Radiohead. With his music, schneid explores musical boundaries and fuses them into an intimate soundtrack that reflects his own artistic journey and joy of experimentation.

BLACK WANDA
It's always midnight in Black Wanda's world. The air shimmers, a pipe drips, somewhere a guitar howls like a hungry coyote. Whiskey, desert, madness - a dark trip through the dark side of rock'n'roll. Twang, noir blues and damn coolness - the perfect soundtrack for anyone who likes to lose themselves in the mystical atmosphere of Twin Peaks.
What crawls out of the speakers sounds like a dark meeting of Mark Lanegan, Nick Cave and Chris Isaak - somewhere in the Bang Bang Bar, red light, thick smoke, no witnesses.

Mathias Schaffhäuser (from 18:30)
There is singing here, on almost every song, and if not, then at least there is speaking. This has never happened on any of the Cologne native's albums, at least not under his own name - although it did happen back in 1993 on the longplayer by the band SALLY DAVIS JUNIOR, on which he was also responsible for the vocals and songwriting.
GONG WAH (from 20:15)
GONG WAH from Cologne describe their style as fuzzwave, a wild mix of distorted guitars, 80s new wave and a pinch of synth-pop. In combination with the unmistakable voice of singer Inga Nelke, this creates the typical GONG WAH sound, which unfolds in their rousing, varied three-and-a-half-minute bangers.
From darkly psychedelic to pop-melancholic, GONG WAH offer an energetic spectrum and yet always sound uncompromisingly like themselves. After the self-titled debut (2020) and the follow-up "A SECOND" (2022), GONG WAH s third album "THE HEALING VOLUME" will be released on April 11, 2025 on Tonzonen Records / Cargo.
