Sound(g)arten: Ska-T

In the organizer's words:

At the turn of the millennium, Ska-T were one of the best-known and most innovative ska-punk bands in Germany. From the Harz Mountains, they went to Leipzig, Berlin and Potsdam and around the world: between 1997 and 2007, they played hundreds of concerts, traveled to half a dozen countries, made thousands of dance fans sweat, sang along with Udo Lindenberg on the Rockpalast stage and, above all, had a lot of fun. "It's not ska", some people complained at the time. "It's not punk," complained others. "You sit down between the chairs and end up comfortably in an armchair," the trade press noted. The chairs were mainly ska, punk and ragga. But nu metal, hip hop and reggae also provided seating, served up in an energetic stage show centered around the two singers. Reunited in 2021, they are older, more experienced, different, but the chemistry is still there. Ska-T have purged themselves and are fresher than ever.
