______________

• LOS VOLCANES (14:30 / 17:30)

Los Volcanes is a band from Cologne that brings the heat of psychedelic cumbia to European stages.

With hypnotic rhythms, tropical melodies and a touch of mysticism, they create a rousing and danceable atmosphere that connects people of all backgrounds. Their performances are energetic and immersive - a celebration of Latin American roots with a contemporary sound.

• OPTIMAL (16:00)

Genre: Dada Pop/Avantgarde Pop // Line-up: Fabian Wahrscheinlich/bass + vocals, Manuel Automatik/keys + vocals, La Bomba Tudinski/saxophone, Andy Unendlichkeit/drums

We are Optimal. You are Optimal. With this friendly mantra, the four storm visionaries welcome their audience. Sure. The Wahrscheinlich&Automatik brothers, who grew up in tranquil Morkepütz, decided to continue their musical mission in an analog band line-up in August 2024. So far, the result sounds raw, direct, light, angry, hearty and full-bodied. Somewhere between earthy pop hammer and twisted garage dada.

The common thread: With heart. Without a filter. The intention: Tender question marks above heads, shining eyes and dancing hips. Clear.

• SAMSON KIDANE BAND (19:00)

Eritrean blues. Samson's music wonderfully combines his African roots with modern music styles such as hip hop, reggae and rock.
