Knorkator

The Berlin band Knorkator is a dazzling and extraordinary musical formation that manages to combine aggressive hardcore metal with subtle and classical sound with ease and playfulness. The concerts are legendary, bizarre alternating baths of colorfully mixed styles, on the one hand light-footed dance between rude swearing and tender poetry, pathetic megalomania and infantile nonsense on the other.

Ignite

Orange County, California Punk and Hardcore Institution, IGNITE, were a band at a crossroads. Over the past 25 years, IGNITE had taken their hardcore foundations and not merely turned them into the sound of a band that has refused to be categorized. With five albums behind them as well as countless tours through Europe, North America, Australia, South America, and the Far East, the ban had become a worldwide force in its own right.

Ferris MC

Ferris has been an all-rounder in the music scene for over 30 years now. He has significantly shaped the German hip hop and crossover scene. He is a rapper, singer, actor, and techno DJ. Among other things, Ferris was a member of Deichkind for 10 years and has also left his mark there. He is a force of nature live - whether in hip-hop as an MC, with his DJ, with his crossover band, or on his own as a techno DJ. There ain't no party like a Ferris party.

Mad Caddies

Formed in Santa Barbara, California, in 1995, the Mad Caddies quickly emerged as a unique force in the music scene with their original name "The Ivy League". Known for their energetic blend of ska and punk rock, they add unique touches of reggae and jazz to create a distinctive and catchy sound. The band's debut album, "Quality Soft Core," released in 1997, marked the beginning of a series of successful albums, including fan favorites like "Duck and Cover" and "Keep It Going." Over the years, the Mad Caddies have evolved, but their music always remains lively and engaging. Famous for their dynamic and party-like live performances, they have garnered a loyal fan base worldwide. The Mad Caddies continue to be celebrated in the ska and punk music circles, known for their unique sound and exhilarating shows.

Madball

Maintaining urgency, authenticity, and integrity has never been a problem for New York City’s hardest and hardest-working band, Madball. They’ve been recording and touring for twenty-five years. As for Madball’s remarkable longevity in the hardcore scene: “We don’t know how to do anything else at this point. We raise our families as best we can, and we do Madball as best we can…”

Royal Republic

Royal Republic is no ordinary rock band. They don’t stick to the clichés or the dos and don’ts of rock ’n’ roll. A purist might shake their head and say, “Hey, that’s not right!”—but they’d be wrong. Royal Republic is always right! It’s that strange mix of flavors that makes no sense until you try it. The outfit that’s so ugly, it’s actually awesome again.

Dr. Woo's Rock'n'Roll Circus

Extraordinary!
Exciting!
Never experienced before!
…these are the words visitors, fans, and organizers use to describe the band and their show.

A decade ago, Dr. Woo burst onto the scene with a groundbreaking concept: reinterpreting well-known songs from rock and pop history and merging them into medleys and mash-ups that create a veritable “rock ’n’ roll rush of the senses.”
