Erdmöbel - Weihnachtstour 2024
12/16/2024 at 8:00 PM / Köln

The Erdmöbel Christmas Tour 2024

Every year, Erdmöbel traditionally releases a new Erdmöbel year-end song shortly before Christmas, which offers a unique perspective on the Christmas season and the past year.

It began in 2006 with "Weihnachten ist mir doch egal," their now legendary version of Wham's "Last Christmas." Since then, at least one song (with guests like Maren Eggert, Ulrich Matthes, and others) has been added every year. A proper canon has since accumulated, and for many, Erdmöbel at Christmas has become indispensable, more so than a Christmas tree. Annually, the band goes on a very successful Christmas tour with their own unique Christmas show.

Doors open at 7:00 pm

GÖTZ WIDMANN - Blütenduft
1/3/2025 at 8:00 PM / Köln

Blossom Scent

Götz Widmann is a singer-songwriter, but one who prefers to raise the middle finger rather than the index finger. Specimens of this kind are extremely rare, which makes an evening with the punk among the song poets such a special experience. It is usually highly amusing, sometimes shocking, but always extremely refreshing to listen to this truly independent spirit, who is allergic to all kinds of muzzles, refuses to be harnessed to any political bandwagon, and simply sweeps aside taboos from any direction with his wit.

Honesty has always been more important to him than polite manners, his choice of words is a nightmare for any German teacher. Nevertheless, Götz Widmann's songs have their own linguistic elegance. And despite all the malice, his extensive body of work, which now includes 20 albums, is above all characterized by a radical love for humanity, a never-ending call for independent thinking, heartwarming humor, and ultimately also a profound sense of embracing life that is almost nowhere to be found in our world of border imbecility. Live performance has always been the best way to experience it, now with his latest album "Blossom Scent" and a constantly new mix of hits and surprises from over three decades of continuously inspiring creativity.

HE/RO - Kein Grund zur Panik Tour
1/23/2025 at 8:00 PM / Köln

HE/RO

"We're not cool kids from Berlin, nor indie boys from Stuttgart. We're just Heiko and Roman from Darmstadt, making music for people who think like us. Straight to the face and right into the heart."

Nowhere is this attitude clearer than in the music of HE/RO: "We want to create something special with our songs and live shows. People should have fun with the music and be able to immerse themselves in their own world for a moment. Experience their personal 'hero's journey' with all the emotions that come with it, like love, pain, courage, and hope. And in doing so, we might be like companions on the way."

HE/RO, who as teenage stars "Die Lochis" shaped an entire generation, have a lot to tell and simply say things as they are. Often profound and honestly emotional, yet always relatable and accessible. Not beating around the bush, but straightforward and direct - skillfully bridging the gap between Gen Z, Millennials, and beyond.

HE/RO proves what this sounds like not only with their brand new song "So kalt," their currently hyped chart hit "Jetzt weinst Du," or their viral hit "Kuss an dich," which has now accumulated over 20 million streams, but also with singles like "Verrückte Phase," "Gar Nix," or "Unsichtbar," and finally their debut album "Teen Star Dilemma," which entered the official album charts at number 13.

All of this comes together in the pop-rock-post-punk sound of HE/RO. Not a rip-off, but an add-on. With rough edges. Brave, progressive, and sometimes playful, but never too intellectual. Catchy refrains and clear emotions, sometimes loud and sometimes soft.

After a successful start to the new year, a new era is on the horizon for HE/RO with lots of new music and a new stage show. Anything missing? Yes, they are also live monsters. 2023 saw the first HE/RO tour with a live band. Band action, mosh pits, and encores included. "It was insanely awesome!" HE/RO still look back hyped on the concerts. This very special energy that arises on stage cannot be described, you have to feel it.

Now, HE/RO confirms the "KEIN GRUND ZUR PANIK TOUR" with a live band - stable 22 dates are booked in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in December 2024 and January 2025. HE/RO are tremendously excited for the marathon - a goosebump moment, as live performances are unmatched with HE/RO.

Parra For Cuva - Mimose Tour 2025
2/4/2025 at 8:00 PM / Köln

If there is one word that captures the sound of Parra for Cuva, it is "wanderlust". His music has become known primarily for its openness to the world - a magical terrain where Caribbean steel drums meet ancient instruments from Zimbabwe and melodic electronic soundscapes transport the spirit to faraway places. It is this sense of openness that the German electronic producer and multi-instrumentalist has cultivated from the beginning, and even as his skills become more refined and his sound more sophisticated, Parra for Cuva's music retains that dreamlike quality that is hard to resist.
Born in 1991, Nicolas Janco was fascinated by sounds at a young age. His first studio was in his childhood bedroom in Northeim, a small town in Germany, where two rudimentary speakers and a MIDI piano sat among his toys. He started his musical journey with classical piano, but his enthusiasm soon led him to forays into hip-hop, jazz, pop, and indie. And even as he discovered electronic music and shortly after moved to Berlin to study and start a career as a producer, his journey with different instruments and musical languages was just beginning. The variety of instruments in his studio - from bells to flutes to kalimbas and all kinds of percussion - shows how much of a sound explorer Nicolas is.
After singles that stormed the charts and two acclaimed albums, Majouré (2014) and Darwîś (2016), Parra for Cuva broke through with the release of Paspatou (2018). His fourth studio album Juno (2021), where he didn't shy away from blending experiments for the dance floor with acoustic and ethnic soundscapes, included collaborations with musicians from around the world. Parra for Cuva, compared to contemporaries such as Christian Löffler and Max Cooper, known for combining electronic productions with warm, often melancholic analog sounds, has been heard at prestigious festivals and sold-out stages worldwide, including Burning Man and Sziget. On April 19, his new album Mimose will be released, promising another captivating sonic journey with exciting collaborations.
After a sold-out concert at Club Bahnhof Ehrenfeld in May 2024, we are now delighted to present Parra For Cuva to you again in Cologne on February 4. This time at Gloria.

HEATHER NOVA - Tour 2025
3/24/2025 at 8:00 PM / Köln

SINGLE - “HEY POSEIDON” by Heather Nova

Heather Nova releases her new single, “Hey Poseidon”, on V2 Records on October 4th, and announces a 29 date European tour next Spring. Here’s what she says about the single:

Last summer I went sailing for the first time in years. Having grown up on a sail boat, it brought back many memories, and it reminded me that we can always choose to unhook from who we think we ought to be at any point in our lives. We can be as young as we feel. We can reject our pre-conceived ideas, and refuse to be labeled. The combination of being at the mercy of the elements, and being surrounded by the rich history and mythology of ancient Greece, rekindled in me a romantic longing to return to simplicity, and a desire to strip everything back to essentials: peace, presence, love.

"Hey Poseidon” was produced and mixed by Chris Bond (Ben Howard) in the UK

The Beatles Tribute Show - 65 Jahre Beatles
5/19/2025 at 8:00 PM / Köln

With recommendations from the Queen:

“The Beatles Tribute Show” brings the spirit of the most successful band in music history back to the stage.

The fact that the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II herself, had the group from the Czech Republic flown in for a private concert in England suggests that this is much more than just a cover band and is virtually unmatched in quality.

Let Paul, John, George, and Ringo take you on a journey through the era of arguably the greatest band of all time!

STOPPOK - Teufelsküche 2025 - die Tour mit Band
5/30/2025 / Köln

Energy crisis. What energy crisis? Stoppok was, is, and will remain an exceptional phenomenon on stage – a master of the magical moment. The Hamburger with a Ruhr area influence loves the energy of the authentic moment; he likes it live and vibrant, he is a captivating entertainer and a unique singer-songwriter, of which there is no second in this country. Risk and spontaneity characterize him, concert halls turn into intensive care units full of surprises and improvisation. Anyone who writes such meaningful texts and songs (from "Tanz" to "Dumpfbacke" to "Wetterprophet") can also trust themselves to do so. The singer and multi-instrumentalist, who has received the GEMA Music Author Award, the World Music Prize RUTH, and the German Small Arts Prize, turns attitude into entertainment, and from madness, humor and hope grow. Even after more than 40 years on stage, Stefan Stoppok strikes the right note and addresses the themes of the time.

With his 20th studio album, he now lands in "Teufelsküche" (Glitterhouse). It is served: After his recent chart success "Jubel" (the album entered the German charts at position 4 at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020), Stoppok presents the new songs on tour with his confident band. "Teufelsküche" has become a powerful statement, oscillating between reverences to Dylan and Solomon Burke, recorded analog and directly. Stoppok's musical response to the ubiquitous plague of digital beautification. The singer knows that thinking and happiness do not stand in each other's way. Especially when humans and nature tend to higher temperatures. The road to hell is famously paved with good intentions. Or with good songs.
