Bandstand

On 28.02.26 we invite you to a delicious antipasti platter full of music at Bandstand in the Festspielhaus and for the first time also in the East Wing:

Brudi Cartell deliver pure energy: synths, heat, drama and a good dose of schmaltz. PARA brings young FLINTA* German rap with poppy hooks to the stage. Their beats effortlessly bring personal experiences and social issues to the fore. Las Perras del Infierno combine punk, cumbia, ska and reggae to create an empowering explosive force - in favor of freedom and multiculturalism. Fuji, on the other hand, are a wild mesh of drums, synths and electronic tinkering. Their sound is like a triple distributor between drum'n'bass, electro and jungle funk - handmade, playful and absolutely danceable. Lucky Loose mix garage, punk and loose rock to create a sound that sounds like they've been there from the start. But maybe it's just down to the fact how well they make the walls of a room shake. Lohrge serve us bittersweet bubble grunge that sounds like a slightly spilled Aperol Spritz. A dash of post-punk completes the intoxication and makes for a really charming mini-buzz live. Deslin Ami Kaba & Band bring disco-soul-funk with a powerful voice and an even stronger message. Their songs tell of love and identity - and are reminiscent of real disco fever. Night fever, night fever! Sebastian der Saubere mixes bizarre stories, experimental rap and NDW into a stage show full of humour and surprises. Gránátèze stand for garage pop that first glides softly into the ear and then explodes with marvellous distortion. Their two-part lyrics are sometimes sweet, sometimes quirky, but always honest.

In the supporting program Max Rademann and Jens Rosemann invite you to a special, intimate vinyl listening and cartoon viewing experience. While the music and images are playing, they draw portraits - a unique souvenir to take home. With the help of the cards, Josef Panda provides support with the big and small questions of life with his Trash Tarot. La Rey, otherwise known for empowering hip-hop, takes over the children's disco and gets kids moving with beats, rap and good humor.
