The Sweet

In the organizer's words:

Alternative date for October 15, 2024 - tickets remain valid

Sweet is one of the few infamous "glam rock bands" that had chart success in the 70s, 80s and 90s. They have sold over 30 million records and are still a "live" touring band. Sweet offers much more than just glam rock, their music is timeless and versatile. From pure pop to heavy metal, from songs like Little Willy with only three chords to complex arrangements like Love Is Like Oxygen.

1970 was an important year, Sweet with Andy Scott, Steve Priest, Mick Tucker and Brian Connolly met songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman and record producer Phil Wainmann. This five-year partnership produced twelve top twenty hits, including a number one. The media then said that the band was a retort band. Die-hard fans knew better. The B sides of the hits contained their own heavy rock compositions. The live performances were sensational, and not just because of the music. Members of the band were arrested in Belgium for an obscene stage performance. All this only boosted their image.

US hits included Ballroom Blitz, which was later featured in the movie "Wayne's World", Fox On The Run, a number two, Action later a hit for Def Leppard and Love Is Like Oxygen at number five. Their album Desolation Boulevard went gold. Love Is Like Oxygen was Sweet's first worldwide hit in three years. The song, written by guitarist Andy Scott, won two Novello Awards. Sweet had finally achieved their goal - recognition in the UK. After that, the almost unbelievable happened: singer Brian Connolly left the band in January 1979. The remaining trio carried on like a three-piece set, as they were once described, but despite a few hits in Europe and three more albums, it was all over after one last tour in the UK in 1981.

The band had 9 number one titles in Germany during the 70s and are now on the verge of their tenth success. Do It All Over Again, the first single from the new album Sweetlife, which is now finally available in Germany.

In 2017, ANDY SCOTT produced a highly acclaimed album under the name Q.S.P together with SUZI QUATRO and SLADE drummer DON POWELL and went on an extensive Australian tour in 2018.
The release of the new album is now finally planned for 2024.

Andy Scott has been performing on stages around the world for decades. Almost all shows in 2023 were sold out! THE SWEET have lost none of their appeal. "THE SWEET and The Final Round Part II" also in 2024.....!!!

Support: Stan Silver and the Brave Puppies

"Stan Silver, the singer/songwriter and country rebel from New York City, is now headquartered in Hamburg! His new band project "Stan Silver and the Brave Puppies" is a wild musical adventure. Together with his son Marlon, the drummer from Rantanplan, he has gone into the studio to create something untamed. After numerous trips to Nashville, Stan wanted more bite and rawness this time. Marlon brought just the right drive with his punk rock attitude. With Manuel de Rien on bass, the trio is ready to conquer the stages. Their music is an explosive mix of driving hard rock with snarling, boisterous guitars and the unbridled pressure of punk rock drums and pumping bass spiced with a Southern vibe. Stan Silver and the Brave Puppies - a wild ride of rock'n'roll'n'punk'n'country!"
