POTT OUT - Festival 2024

The Heavy Metal event of the year is back: full of energy, top bands, and fabulous locations - headbanging included!

The Knock Out Festival and Rock Out Festival are merging to become THE HARD CIRCLE and are introducing an additional venue this year, turning it into the POTT OUT Festival – 1st Edition.

On Saturday, December 7, 2024, it's happening at the Bochum RuhrCongress:

Welcome to the first POTT OUT Festival

And of course, it goes without saying: Make it loud – Make the Pott proud!
Saturday, 12/7/2024 Pott Out Festival - Bochum/Ruhrcongress
Presented by Radio BOB!

The first bands confirmed for THE HARD CIRCLE 2024 are:

GAMMA RAY
Fronted by Kai Hansen, one of the most popular metal icons of the last 35 years, GAMMA RAY have shaped and influenced the genre for 30 years. For the first time since his return to HELLOWEEN, the band will be performing selected concerts this year, including their Germany-exclusive appearance at The Hard Circle Festivals.

H.E.A.T
They are the heirs of 80s Hard Rock and will grace our festivals with their original singer Kenny's return and a brand new album.

DYNAZTY
Entering the ring as contenders for the championship, they come with a full set of hits and are definitely worthy contenders for the top spots in the Big League of Melodic Metal.

The initiator of these festivals, as always, is the agency Bottom Row from Karlsruhe.
 

Sasa Erletic, Co-Managing Director of Bottom Row, comments on the new Pott Out Festival: "We've been considering this for a while, and after the tremendous success of last year's first edition in Augsburg and the consistently sold-out festivals in Karlsruhe over the years, the time is now right for more! It's the second time we are expanding into a different geographical direction. This time, to one of the strongest Hard 'n' Heavy regions in Germany, the Ruhr area. In Bochum, we found a suitable venue, the RuhrCongress, and the right partner, Lars Berndt Events. We are thrilled to have arrived in Bochum, alongside Karlsruhe and Augsburg, and will deliver the loudest Christmas party in Germany there too!"

We can't wait to see which top acts will perform this year as the lineup is gradually revealed.

The headliner will be announced in July!

Stay tuned …

Big illusions up close: This is only available at MAGIC MAGIC, the unique Las Vegas show with André Blake, the fantastic shooting star of the German illusion scene. The show MAGIC MAGIC was exclusively developed by the charismatic young magician from Nuremberg for the RevuePalast Ruhr. Blake presents original illusions from Las Vegas that have never been seen in Germany before. As an escape artist, he follows in the footsteps of the great Houdini, making maidens float and objects disappear under the most incredible conditions – always directly in front of the astonished audience.

André is not only a master of illusion, but also a charismatic entertainer who knows how to captivate his audience and create unforgettable moments. MAGIC MAGIC is perfect entertainment for the whole family. In one illusion, Blake even invites a young guest with Mom and Dad to join him on stage.

André Blake discovered his passion for magic at the tender age of 10. Since then, he has continuously perfected his talent and is now one of the rising stars of the international magic scene. With his breathtaking illusions and stunning productions, he delights his audience on stages around the globe. His appearances on TV shows such as “Stars in der Manege” on SAT1 with TV stars like Michael Mittermeier and Wigald Boning or “America's Got Talent” have earned him an even larger fan base and increased his recognition worldwide.

with Barbara Kleyboldt and Rüdiger Trappmann - acting and recitation

On this evening, we accompany Heine on his journey to Paris, the Mecca of

liberality at the beginning of the 19th century. These are the years following the July

Revolution, and Heine actively participates in political life. In Paris, he marries

Mathilde. But Germany and the German question do not leave him. So, in

November 1844, he embarks on his famous journey through Germany, which he immortalizes

in his work "Germany. A Winter's Tale".

Admission: 60 minutes before the beginning of the game

Imagine treating yourself to a delicious, freshly prepared, abundant buffet. And just when you want to lean back, relaxed and satisfied, someone comes on stage and attacks you with a 45-50 minute comedy, music, variety, even political cabaret program?!

Would you like that? You don't know who will perform, that's a surprise, but you are definitely already sitting comfortably with delicious food.

Entry: 18:00

Performance rights by S. Fischer Verlag GmbH, Frankfurt am Main.

Is the good old striptease dead? And has its audience also vanished into thin air, hiding in front of the internet? Or is it only dead for those who are supposed to undress? Then it still exists, and desires for exposure are certainly not lacking in our time; only how does one thing lead to the other?
Through language, of course - the announcer of a striptease act enters the stage. He promises the last classic strip on German soil: Andrea (or Andreas?) will only wear a red ribbon in the end, which is an irrevocable invitation to the audience to imagine removing this ribbon, not just for the moment, but for all future moments, which should not be underestimated as a torture.
But Andrea (or Andreas) seems to be running late, and the announcer is left with sentences like the one with the ribbon; he must keep talking and spreading hope that Andrea (or Andreas) will still show up, although the person at the center of Kirchhoff's monologue is there from the beginning - perhaps too dressed to be visible, or perhaps too naked…

Door open: 7:40 PM

We are a barrier-free exhibition with model systems and transport historical exhibits on the topics of Barmer Bergbahn, suspension railway, and tram as well as numerous railway systems.

Our exhibition includes a walk-in 24m long suspension railway from 1972.

In an office and commercial building in the east of Wuppertal, near the railway and suspension railway that meander through the Wupper valley, a model railway exhibition with 12 model systems of different scales (N gauge 1:160, H0m and H0 both 1:87, G gauge 1:22.5) is being set up.

Directly in the entrance area, a typical railway system from the 1970s/80s in H0 scale, i.e., 1:87 with Märklin metal tracks from a private model railway cellar in Bonn, is presented.

On the ground floor, there is a well over 150 m² large exhibition room. There, 3 systems, two N gauge systems and the 27m long H0m system, as well as other exhibits are shown.

Under the name CasDöpp, the systems "Castrop" and "Döppersberg" were connected to form a system in 1:160 scale. The Castrop system with main lines and the Döppersberg, the diorama of the area around today's main station of Wuppertal, allow for varied train traffic.

Right next to it is the approximately 10m long model of the Swiss Lötschberg south ramp in 1:160 scale. There, the “Rolling Road” – the freight transport on rails – can be seen.

The 27m long H0m system (scale 1:87) with prominent motifs from the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland, such as the highest viaduct of the RhB, the Wiesener Viaduct, is presented fittingly with vehicles from the Rhätische Bahn.

On the upper floor, it goes into the almost 600 m² large exhibition hall.

On a system area of 150 m², two thematically located systems in Germany in H0 scale, i.e., 1:87, have been newly built. There is the Ermannstadt system with about 90 m² and the Altenhundem system focusing on the station/steam locomotive depot with about 60 m².

Another over 13m long H0 system with the theme “Bahnhof Heubruch” shows the route around this station area. Today, this so-called "Rheinische Strecke" in Wuppertal is the Nordbahntrasse.

Two systems of the Barmer Bergbahn are dedicated to the theme of Wuppertal transport history, there is also a combined tram/suspension railway system and many exhibits of tram and suspension railway series displayed in showcases, all in 1:22.5 scale.

In the large hall, you will also find a narrow-gauge railway with Swiss motifs, such as the Filisur station, and vehicles of the Rhätische Bahn, like the steam locomotive "Heidi" in G gauge, i.e., 1:22.5.

In front of the building stands a 24m long articulated traction vehicle (GTW) of the Wuppertal suspension railway from the 1970s. This suspension railway train, which went into operation on 23.11.1972, is part of the exhibition and is barrier-free accessible. Inside, the almost 6 m long system named "Die Schwebebahn in der Schwebebahn" in 1:87 scale is presented.

Individual exhibits, loans from museums or private individuals or in private ownership, expand the exhibition with special features that are not everyday and are sometimes historically significant.

Sightseeing makes you hungry and thirsty. For refreshments, seating areas in the area of the “WUMILA-Bistro” invite you. Here, visitors can take a seat in first-class railway seat groups or on seats that come from the suspension railway GTW 72 No. 1.

On a system area of 150 m², two thematically located systems in Germany in H0 scale, i.e., 1:87, have been newly built. There is the Ermannstadt system with about 90 m² and the Altenhundem system focusing on the station/steam locomotive depot with about 60 m².

Another over 13m long H0 system with the theme “Bahnhof Heubruch” shows the route around this station area. Today, this so-called "Rheinische Strecke" in Wuppertal is the Nordbahntrasse.

Two systems of the Barmer Bergbahn are dedicated to the theme of Wuppertal transport history, there is also a combined tram/suspension railway system and many exhibits of tram and suspension railway series displayed in showcases, all in 1:22.5 scale.

In the large hall, you will also find a narrow-gauge railway with Swiss motifs, such as the Filisur station, and vehicles of the Rhätische Bahn, like the steam locomotive "Heidi" in G gauge, i.e., 1:22.5.

In front of the building stands a 24m long articulated traction vehicle (GTW) of the Wuppertal suspension railway from the 1970s. This suspension railway train, which went into operation on 23.11.1972, is part of the exhibition and is barrier-free accessible. Inside, the almost 6 m long system named "Die Schwebebahn in der Schwebebahn" in 1:87 scale is presented.

Individual exhibits, loans from museums or private individuals or in private ownership, expand the exhibition with special features that are not everyday and are sometimes historically significant.

Sightseeing makes you hungry and thirsty. For refreshments, seating areas in the area of the “WUMILA-Bistro” invite you. Here, visitors can take a seat in first-class railway seat groups or on seats that come from the suspension railway GTW 72 No. 1.

We are a barrier-free exhibition with model systems and transport historical exhibits on the topics of Barmer Bergbahn, suspension railway, and tram as well as numerous railway systems.

Our exhibition includes a walk-in 24m long suspension railway from 1972.

In an office and commercial building in the east of Wuppertal, near the railway and suspension railway that meander through the Wupper valley, a model railway exhibition with 12 model systems of different scales (N gauge 1:160, H0m and H0 both 1:87, G gauge 1:22.5) is being set up.

Directly in the entrance area, a typical railway system from the 1970s/80s in H0 scale, i.e., 1:87 with Märklin metal tracks from a private model railway cellar in Bonn, is presented.

On the ground floor, there is a well over 150 m² large exhibition room. There, 3 systems, two N gauge systems and the 27m long H0m system, as well as other exhibits are shown.

Under the name CasDöpp, the systems "Castrop" and "Döppersberg" were connected to form a system in 1:160 scale. The Castrop system with main lines and the Döppersberg, the diorama of the area around today's main station of Wuppertal, allow for varied train traffic.

Right next to it is the approximately 10m long model of the Swiss Lötschberg south ramp in 1:160 scale. There, the “Rolling Road” – the freight transport on rails – can be seen.
