Music Program

5.00 pm–6.00 pm

AEMILIA
shaped by neo-soul, alternative rock and musical influences, moving between lightly melancholic, floating passages and euphoric pieces.

6.15 pm–6.45 pm

Vintage Mobbing
is a two-person alternative/anti-pop band from Dresden; their sound is raw, distorted and minimalist, marked by striking female vocals and simple, direct drum-machine rhythms.

8.15 pm–8.45 pm

Fraubert Schönemeyer
brings to the stage "what you wouldn't even dare to dream of at night! A Herbert Grönemeyer tribute, but make it punk and set it deep in the East." They bring everything a good cover band needs – and a bit more: sing-along songs, hot beats and big feelings, a touch of cringe, and memories of the drunkest wedding and Jugendweihe parties.

9.00 pm–9.45 pm

Kotpiloten
unleash modern fun-punk "with the unbelievable power of pee-poo humor. Music like catharsis in a fart-fit – so come as you fart, piss soon and see you thin-ner!"

9.45 pm–11.00 pm

DJ Sylphid
stands for psychedelic & classic rock.

11.00 pm–12.15 am

JJ Spice
brings a mix of fresh, spicy Italo sounds and driving disco grooves to the dance floor.

12.15 am–1.30 am

Bente
part of the Dresden collective »Alles Freunde«, closes the evening with sets full of energy, euphoria and good vibes – music that moves and connects.
