An overview of the bands:

Pelemele (17:00)
With their brilliant live shows and award-winning studio albums, Pelemele from Cologne have been delighting kids of all ages, including their compulsive adult listeners, for over 20 years. Pop ‘n’ Roll is what they call their wild mixture of rock, disco, hip hop, pop, funk and ska, with which they regularly get young and old to go wild.

Jenny and The Steady Go’s (20:30)
Jenny and The Steady Go’s bring back the musical attitude to life and rock’n’roll of the 50s. Four gentlemen, equipped with classic instruments from Gretsch guitars to double bass, have the singing and rousing dancing Jenny Thrill at their side, and musically they have it thick as a fist behind their ears.

Botticelli Baby (20:45)
Botticelli Baby liberate jazz from its elitist headiness and punk from its canned beer-stained grubby image. Enriched with elements of blues, folk, funk, Balkan and pop, the result is a highly explosive fusion that has quickly earned Botticelli Baby a solid reputation as one of the most unconventional and exciting formations in Germany and beyond.

Betrayers of Babylon (21:45)
Imagine Seeed, Vulfpeck and Cat Empire making music together: that’s what the Betrayers of Babylon sound like. Their colorful mix of reggae and global groove unfolds a highly infectious energy. Powerful vocals, rousing grooves, lots of joyful playing and crisp brass sections – this will get your happiness hormone levels dancing! (c) Maja Bjeljac

Jazzalike (22:45)
The young band from Hengelo creates a rousing atmosphere with unbridled enthusiasm, choreographic interludes and a “fat” brass sound. With a repertoire ranging from hits from the 80s to Nirvana’s “Smells like Teen Spirits” or current chart hits, the smart guys stop at nothing musically and end the music night with a big party on the stage of the Bürgerhalle.
