Rock for Tolerance – Ein Abend für ein Miteinander, Respekt & Live-Musik

In the organizer's words:

On 25.04.2025 the BORA will be transformed into a hotspot for rocking sounds and strong messages! We cordially invite you to "Rock for Tolerance"!

The evening is all about togetherness, diversity and social responsibility. Under the motto "Rock for Tolerance", we want to take a stand against discrimination, intolerance and exclusion together with you and celebrate the value of diversity.

The evening's line-up is just as diverse as the motto:

FLITTERN - pop-punk with a positive vibe

FLITTERN are the Cologne duo Sebastian Riddle and Fabian Dellacher, who have been combining their punk socialization with contemporary pop since autumn 2023 and thus provide the soundtrack to the contradiction we call life.

Somewhere between "Wait, I know that!" and "Wow, that's new!", FLITTERN wrap their entertaining and critical lyrics in a grown-up version of pop-punk with a positive vibe, because now, when things are getting a bit dicey for punk in the face of an increasingly dystopian world, they don't want to become bitter in their niche.

STEVIE HONDA - Indie Hip-Hop Band

Stevie Honda are ready to do what they've always wanted to do:
Shape their own hip-hop sound, tell honest stories and share their music with others. The band came together at the beginning of 2023 and in spring 2024, the six musicians recorded their debut album "Bereit" (release date 13.09.2024) at Soulvision Studios in Cologne.

The band has performed live on stages large and small. Now they want to take the next step and present themselves at festivals and concerts outside of Cologne, inviting their audience to feel and dance along.

LEHNER - driving beats, jangling guitars and catchy melodies

Somewhere between indie and rock. Somewhere between punk and rap. Somewhere between dilettantism and skill. Somewhere between intuition and calculation. Somewhere between Stuttgart and Karlsruhe.

Inspired by many facets of alternative and pop music from the last 40 years, Lehner bring a familiar, idiosyncratic sound to the stage. Sometimes current pop influences a la Provinz shine through, sometimes post-punk dominates in the style of Love A, sometimes the deliberately unbridled noise of bands like Heisskalt or Nerven breaks through.
