Bands 2027

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.

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.

Booze & Glory

Our next TattooCruise band is Booze & Glory – a group whose distinctive street-punk sound has for years been synonymous with energy, attitude and passionate live performances, and who will be getting the ship rocking in 2026.

Booze & Glory are known for their catchy, sing-along anthems, which are celebrated everywhere from small clubs to major festival stages around the world. Their live shows pack an immediate punch, combining a powerful attitude with striking riffs and plenty of moments that have the whole audience on their feet.

Whether it’s roaring choruses, driving guitars or those special moments when everyone gets goosebumps together – Booze & Glory provide the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable punk rock experience on the high seas.

The Gamblers

The Gamblers are bringing a breath of fresh air to the TattooCruise – with their distinctive blend of Boss Reggae, early reggae and a modern take on classic Jamaican music. The band was founded in early 2024 by Mark RSK, the singer of Booze & Glory. The line-up includes guitarist Kahan as well as experienced musicians from well-known Polish reggae and ska bands such as Konopians, Skankan and Shashamane.

The Gamblers have quickly established themselves on the international reggae and ska scene. Their repertoire combines Jamaican renditions of popular Booze & Glory songs with their own compositions – always authentic, danceable and brimming with positive energy. Three EPs released on Pirates Press Records earned the band early recognition for their warm, classic reggae sound.

In 2025, they played their first sold-out European concerts. Live, The Gamblers captivate audiences with their deep respect for Jamaican musical traditions and a unique touch that immediately resonates with listeners. Experience The Gamblers on the TattooCruise 2026 – authentic, rousing and a special highlight for all fans of reggae, ska and soulful music.

One Step Closer

The power of Linkin Park is brought to life when the tribute band "One Step Closer - A Tribute to Linkin Park" takes the stage in Germany. The band honors the memory of the legendary Chester Bennington and at the same time celebrates the exciting resurrection of Linkin Park with the new frontwoman Emily Armstrong and the new album “From Zero”. “One Step Closer” brings the energetic live performances and emotional sounds of Linkin Park to the stage. With a careful selection of the band's greatest hits and profound songs, the audience is taken on a nostalgic journey.

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.”
