Die Szene der Two-Tone begeisterten Ska-Fans ist lebendig und auch in Ostwestfalen immer für tolle Konzerte und legendäre Skanighter zu begeistern.
Deswegen gibt es jetzt im FZZ Baumheide in Bielefeld endlich wieder einen Konzertabend mit zwei Livebands und einem Soundsystem für die Atershowparty.

DR RING DING (D)
ist seit 1987 als vielseitiger Sänger und Instrumentalist weltweit aktiv und kann mit Recht als eine der Haupttriebfedern des Reggae in Deutschland bezeichnet werden. Als Entertainer im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes ist er stilistisch in der gesamten Bandbreite der jamaikanischen Musik zuhause.
Unermüdliches Touren weltweit machte ihn zum festen und unverzichtbaren Bestandteil der internationalen Reggae-, Dancehall- und Ska-Szene.
Traditionelle Old School Grooves, aktuelle computerisierte Beats oder sogar Pop-Songs – der deutsche Veteran der jamaikanischen Musik stellt sowohl auf seinen Aufnahmen wie auch live auf der Bühne sein Talent unter Beweis. Bei seinen Shows wird Dr. Ring Ding dabei entweder von renommierten Backingbands oder, ganz traditionell, von Soundsystem begleitet. Wie auch immer: gute Laune und positive Stimmung sind garantiert, denn der Doktor versteht es, die unterschiedlichsten Mengen zu unterhalten.

THE UPSESSIONS (NL)
Nach der Veröffentlichung ihres ersten Albums „The New Heavyweight Champion“ (2006) beim legendären Label „Moon Ska“ startete die Karriere der Upsessions sofort durch.
Stilvoll gekleidet, mitreißend, mit einem unglaublichen Orgel-Sound und einer fantastischen Bühnenperformance
Die Band, in ihren grün-gelben Trainingsanzügen, spielt auf Europas größten Reggae- und Ska-Festivals wie dem deutschen „This is Ska“, dem Potsdamer Skafestival und dem „Rudecat“-Festival in Girona im Baskenland.
Seit der Veröffentlichung ihres legendären Albums „Shake it!“ mit Lee „Scratch“ Perry wurden die Songs der Upsessions in Filmen und Serien, vorwiegend in den USA, verwendet.
Seit 2005 touren The Upsessions durch ganz Europa und präsentieren ihren frühen Reggae-, Ska-, Funk-, Calypso- und Soul-Sound.

Einlass: 19:00 Uhr The scene of Two-Tone enthusiastic ska fans is vibrant and always ready for great concerts and legendary Skanighters, even in East Westphalia.
That's why there is finally another concert evening at FZZ Baumheide in Bielefeld with two live bands and a soundsystem for the aftershow party.

DR RING DING (D)
has been active worldwide as a versatile singer and instrumentalist since 1987 and can rightly be considered one of the main driving forces of reggae in Germany. As an entertainer in the truest sense of the word, he is stylistically at home in the entire range of Jamaican music.
His tireless touring worldwide made him a fixed and indispensable part of the international reggae, dancehall, and ska scene.
Traditional old school grooves, current computerized beats, or even pop songs – the German veteran of Jamaican music showcases his talent both in his recordings and live on stage. At his shows, Dr. Ring Ding is either accompanied by renowned backing bands or, quite traditionally, by a soundsystem. Either way: good mood and positive vibes are guaranteed, as the doctor knows how to entertain diverse audiences.

THE UPSESSIONS (NL)
After the release of their first album "The New Heavyweight Champion" (2006) on the legendary label "Moon Ska," the Upsessions' career took off immediately.
Stylishly dressed, captivating, with an incredible organ sound and a fantastic stage performance,
the band, in their green-yellow tracksuits, plays at Europe’s largest reggae and ska festivals such as the German "This is Ska," the Potsdam Ska Festival, and the "Rudecat" festival in Girona in the Basque Country.
Since the release of their legendary album "Shake it!" with Lee "Scratch" Perry, the Upsessions' songs have been featured in movies and series, primarily in the USA.
Since 2005, The Upsessions have been touring all over Europe, showcasing their early reggae, ska, funk, calypso, and soul sound.

NEW AMEN CORNER

JOHN KINCADE

DOZY, BEAKY, MICK & TICH

This is a top-class music production. Who doesn't like to dream of the good old youth days?! We were young, in love, full of energy, and wanted to discover the world... and we listened to, watched, and loved our music heroes who accompanied us on this journey, whose songs we heard everywhere every day, whose music, clothing, and lives were so different from what our parents lived! The world belonged to us! We had Bravo star cutouts of our heroes on the walls of our rooms, read everything about them every day, watched all the TV shows they appeared in, never missed any "Disco" with Ilja Richter on ZDF, had all the records in our cabinets to play on our portable mono turntables or recorded all RTL Luxembourg shows on our portable mono cassette recorders, and played their hits like:

Have drink on me, Poor Boy, Hits Lords

House of the rising sun, Hits The Animals

Angel Face, Let’s get together again, Hits by Glitterband

Bend me shape me, If paradise is half as nice, Hits New Amen Corner

Dreams are ten a penny, Hits by John Kincade

Bend it, Hold Tight, Save me” Hits by DOZY, BEAKY, MICK & TICH

and many others that were popular back then, with many a waltzed during the first kiss, in disco lights... These heroes accompanied our lives, shaped our lives! Their hits from back then are now legendary and still part of every radio station, many TV (oldie) shows, many parties. This production is unique for the Waldbühne Ahmsen, as the number of visitors is limited and everything will be played live by the original artists. Don't miss this one-off event.

The Runrig Experience - Beat the Drum

Beat The Drum
The RunRig Experience
A tribute to the Scottish superband RunRig
RunRig was one of the most successful Scottish bands, having a loyal fanbase not only in Scotland but also in Denmark and Germany, with several number-one hits and albums in the charts. The Scottish Celtic rock band was founded in 1973 on the Isle of Skye. The band released fourteen studio albums, with some of their songs also sung in Scottish Gaelic.
The music of Runrig is often described as a blend of folk and rock music, with the band's lyrics frequently revolving around places, history, politics, and people that are or were unique to Scotland. This traditional connection in the music, as well as in the lyrics, which sometimes include Gaelic lyrics, distinguishes the band's uniqueness and creates the fascination of their music. Rarely has a band managed to create this identity between land and music like RunRig.
In 2016, the band announced that they would withdraw from the studio after the release of their 14th studio album, The Story, and announced their final tour, The Final Mile, for 2017. In August 2018, Runrig played the last show of their farewell tour titled The Last Dance in Stirling City Park, which was attended by an estimated 52,000 fans.
Richie Muir, a singer and guitarist from Edinburgh, who lives in Nottingham but is primarily a great lifelong fan of Runrig, had the idea to keep this fantastic music alive and founded RunRig Experience, a band that celebrates the music of RunRig and thus commemorates this anniversary - and fills the gap.
"From the beginning, we wanted to be more than a tribute band that just pretends. We wanted the show to be a celebration of RunRig's music. Yes, we wanted it to sound authentic and represent what RunRig was about, but it’s not just about filling the gap they left. It's about celebrating their music and their incredible contribution to the music industry, to Scotland as a whole, and to the small, significant moments in the lives of their fans. We wanted to put on a show where people come, have fun, sing, dance, celebrate, and remember, and I believe we have really succeeded in that." Ben Marshall (member of RunRig Experience)

DAKKA SKANKS

Meeting at music college in Brighton, this young band have pulled together so
many influences, to take a classic ska rhythm into the 21st century. They blend
established Jamaican dance rhythms, sprinkled with indie rock guitar and
catchy choruses that give this band a truly fresh and new sound. Clara Byrne's
mesmerizing lead vocal cuts through like a wave of emotion, her lyrical content
straight from the soul, with serious social issues explored through dramatic
delivery.
Formed in 2017, this band have come on leagues in a very short space of time.
Involved in The Camden Roundhouse Emerging Artists programme, Spider
Johnson (Potato 5, Lee Perry, Acid Jazz, Kioko) produced the first album really
pulling the loose ends together, giving a professional edge of experience to the
band.
Dakka Skanks are already picking up several live shows from promoters across
Europe, the first Spanish mini-tour of the Madrid area generated more offers
including several shows across Germany, France, Belgium and Spain. 2018
brought shows with Madness, Neville Staple, The Skatalites, headline slots
across the country and dates across Europe. 2019 brought more extensive
European touring, a show with the mighty Toasters and lots more as the year
moved forward, and 2020 would have seen Dakka Skanks playing at many more
festivals and events in the UK and beyond - Except for that pandemic…….., but
undeterred Dakka have carried on releasing the tracks ‘Mr Murder’, ‘Sir Action’
and the current ska anthem in the making ‘Babylon Falling’.
After the first lockdown lifted Dakka Skanks had a very busy 2021 starting with
headlining the first live event in Brighton and The Dome and into festival
season with appearances at Illusive Festival, Tearout Festival, Victorious
Festival, Leeds Ska Festival and at Lakefest where they were so well received on
the Friday that they were asked to cover a main stage slot the next day sharing
the stage with Stereo MC’s, New Model Army and Scouting For Girls, and they
finished the year on the main stage at House of Fun with Madness in Minehead.
2022 was another busy year with a European tour supporting Buster Shuffle in
June and support slots with The Selecter, Popes of Chillitown and The Dub
Pistols as well as a busy festival season culminating at Boomtown. On the
release front, the In Control EP was released in December to round off the year.

Einlass: 18:00 Uhr

Scott Kinsey Group | Thought Distortions

With "Thought Distortions," the Scott Kinsey Group presents a program that redefines the boundaries of contemporary jazz fusion. At its core is the question of how perception, sound, and improvisation merge – how musical thoughts arise, distort, transform, and evolve into ever-new forms of expression.

Scott Kinsey, one of the defining keyboardists of modern electric jazz and a long-time collaborator of Joe Zawinul, combines dense synthesizer textures, complex harmonies, and pulsating grooves in this project to create a multifaceted sound cosmos. "Thought Distortions" is more than just a concert title – it is an artistic concept: musical ideas are mirrored, shifted, rhythmically broken, and developed in surprising directions.

The internationally composed band brings together some of the most prominent musicians in the fusion scene. With virtuosic interplay, rhythmic precision, and great improvisational freedom, the group unfolds an enormous dynamic range – from atmospheric, floating soundscapes to highly energetic, driving passages.

Stylistically, the program moves between jazz, rock, funk, and electronic influences. Complex meters meet catchy motifs, expressive solos intertwine with finely woven ensemble passages. Throughout, the music remains organic and immediate – an intense live experience that speaks to both the mind and the body.

With "Thought Distortions," the Scott Kinsey Group impressively demonstrates how vibrant and visionary modern jazz fusion sounds today – innovative, virtuosic, and full of creative tension.

Ringlstetter & Band - Bellavista Tour 2027

The Bavarian entertainer back on the big stage

Hannes Ringlstetter – known as an entertainer, musician, actor ("Hubert ohne Staller"), and bestselling author ("A Steinpilz for Eternity") – is finally going back on a big tour with his band in 2027. Under the motto "Bellavista" – beautiful views – it will be loud, lively, and musically diverse again after a creative break and intimate club concerts. The album of the same name "Bellavista" (scheduled for release in December 2026) is, of course, included in the tour bus – packed with new songs about life in all its ups and downs. Musically, Ringlstetter and his band move across genres as usual: from powerful rock to relaxed reggae to poetic folk pieces. Everything live, everything handcrafted, completely without AI – with palpable joy of playing, great musicality, and a hefty dose of self-irony. On stage, as always, are Ringlstetter's trusted musical companions – well-rehearsed, captivating, and full of energy. Of course, the favorite pieces from past albums must not be missing – "Niederbayern," "Heller Schein," "Heile Welt," or "Gardasee" are just as much a part of the program as the legendary surprise country cover song that is a staple of every tour. Hannes Ringlstetter is back – eager for music, stories, and real life. And he wants one thing: to experience his audience live again, to take them along, and to inspire them. An evening with Ringlstetter & Band is not an ordinary concert. It is a real experience – smart, entertaining, musically diverse, and profoundly human.

"It’s high time to spend a good time together in concert halls. Out of lethargy. With love and hope, thus a desire for the future. The Italian way of life could help – therefore: Bellavista! We'll see you!" – Hannes Ringlstetter

Skerryvore - Scot Rock

Lighthouses have been places full of mystique and solitude since time immemorial. They guide sailors to safe harbors or help them navigate dangerous cliffs. A great inspiration for a band that, with their extraordinary sound and impressive consistency, sends signals of light into the world and has been gaining new fans daily for 20 years.

The sound of Skerryvore, named after the lighthouse of the “Isle of Tiree” in the west of Scotland, is as breathtaking as the wild and untamed island itself – the home of some band members. Their energetic Trad Rock with fiddle, accordion, pipes, flutes, whistles, guitar, and bagpipe crashes like the wild surf against the cliffs. Bass, keyboards, and drums add funky accents. But the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands is also inherent in the music of the Skerries. The wonderful voice of frontman Alec Dalglish, who is also responsible for most songs, goes under the skin.

This mix has earned the guys several awards: Best CD and Best Singer/Songwriter (SNMA). 3 x Live Act of the Year (STMA). In 2017, Skerryvore was the face of the global “Visit Scotland” campaign. In December 2020, they stormed to No. 1 on the Scottish charts with their single. At the beginning of 2021, the hit also established itself in England and was then featured for several weeks on BBC2's Playlist A. In Scotland, for example, they rent the football stadium in Oban and fill it with 10,000 fans.

After being "Indie" for 18 years, Skerryvore signed a world contract with the renowned record label "Cooking Vinyl" in 2023. "Tempus" climbed to the top of the official Scottish album and British folk album charts in 2023 and reached the top 40 of the official British charts. Three single releases landed on the BBC Radio 2 New Music Playlist, and Apple Music selected "Another World" for their New Hits playlist in various countries.

In December 2024, the “Skerries” played as co-headliners in Scotland's largest arena in Glasgow before 14,000 fans. The German tour in the autumn of 2024 was nearly sold out.

On May 31, 2025, they will celebrate their 20th anniversary. They will then embark on a world tour to celebrate with their many fans worldwide.

“This is the real thing, as wild and beautiful as the island they come from“ (Donald Shaw, Artistic Director Celtic Connections).

Doors: 7:00 PM

Skerryvore (GB) - Beacon of Scot Rock

Lighthouses have been places full of mystique and solitude since time immemorial. They guide sailors to the safe harbor or allow them to navigate around dangerous cliffs. A great inspiration for a band that sends out beacon signals to the world with its extraordinary sound and, with remarkable regularity, gains new fans every day for 20 years. The sound of Skerryvore, named after the lighthouse of the "Isle of Tiree" in western Scotland, is as breathtaking as the wild and untamed island itself – home to some of the band members. Their energetic Trad Rock with fiddle, accordion, pipes, flutes, whistles, guitar, and bagpipe crashes like the wild spray against the cliffs. Bass, keyboards, and drums add funky accents. But the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands is also clearly recognizable in the music of the Skerries. The wonderful voice of frontman Alec Dalglish, who is also responsible for most of the songs, goes under the skin.
