Brett #4: Mooon (NL) + The Wow Signal (FR)
If the summer weather makes you want to drive away but you can't yet, you can pick up a musical load of road-trippin' feeling here. The three musicians from the Dutch band Mooon want to "Surfin' with You". French band The Wow Signal are still a real insider's tip, but they're in exactly the same vein: surf rock combined with psychedelic & 60s vibes à la Beatles.
KLASSIK & COCKTAILS - 28.08.2024
For all those who want to do something "different", the KRÄMER distillery is the place to be in July. Under the open sky in the courtyard, "high culture music" paired with "high culture drink" promises all-round enjoyment. The Dortmund sister duo of cellist Anouchka and pianist Katharina Hack will be guests. The two return to their home country once a year and this time also have the Ukrainian composer Marina Baranova in their luggage. As a student, you can even continue your sensual education here for just €11.
Die unfassbar große BINGO Show
When BINGO is made big again, we want to be part of it. Especially when Sugar and Grabowski are at the bingo drum, entertainment is guaranteed - you shouldn't miss it! 😁 If you're worried about sitting too much at bingo on Saturday night, don't worry: there's an after-show party from 11 pm onwards where you can celebrate your bingo winnings or dance your frustration away.
JUST DORIS x NOCAP w/ BA$H, LE$OLA, Eskabe, Basicboi • Hiphop / Trap
Ski Aggu next to Fred Again next to Brutalism 3000 next to Jorja Smith? The mix sounds wild but convincing 😎and you can't go far wrong with JUST DORIS anyway.
Queerslam + Speeddating
Felix Lobrecht no longer slams - and he doesn't have to, because it's time for LGBTQIA+ to take to the spoken word stage alongside white cis men. And they will do so on 12.07. at Café Plus. Funny, political, thought-provoking - there are no thematic limits here. What applies on stage also explicitly applies here for all listeners: come "however u feel comfortable".
25 Jahre eldoradio* - mit Figur Lemur & Sloe Noon + Aftershow Party
eldoradio* turns 25! The university radio station eldoradio* is celebrating its 25th anniversary and is doing so in style. Unlike mainstream stations, campus radios are free from commercial constraints, which allows the presenters to share their passion for music and thus also a few niche artists. Or you can also quickly become an early adapter: Campus radios, for example, have played a crucial role in the success of bands such as Nirvana, The Smiths, R.E.M. and Violent Femmes. With Figur Lemur & Sloe Noon, eldoradio* sets the stage for two up-and-coming musicians from the grunge scene. Afterwards, things get electronic again with the in-house DJ collective FLINTA*4Rave.
TUNNELBLICK ✦ Techno Rave ✦ 12.07. ✦ 23:00 -END
Being able to say "I was there from the beginning" is a wish we all secretly harbor. At "Tunnelblick" you have the opportunity to do just that in the future & celebrate this very first edition of the rave series in its infancy. With Aljosha in the DJ line-up, a good mood is guaranteed, with pop culture references such as the Star Wars Cantina Band being played and remixed. Stollen1134 on 12.07. is the place to be for all those who dream of being underground!
Bunt Oder Blau - Das unendliche Festival 2024
Bunt oder Blau is a festival away from the mainstream, but all the more diverse for it. On Friday, the folk trio "Walking On Rivers" is even a local band whose fame has long since spread beyond the city limits. The three musicians captivate with polyphonic vocals and musically describe the longing that can overcome you in the Ruhr area. You can also look forward to psychedelic diso sounds from French band "BIENSÜRE" and indie pop from Cologne artist "Margo". "Colorful" is also the motto of the day on Saturday. Here you can headbang to the rock band Daily Thompson and then relax to the soulful and funky sounds of the "Secret Nights Gang". Later, "Riot but Cute" invite you to dance again, an indie band with emo influences, who also play a home game. There's something for everyone here!
Juicy Beats 2024 - präsentiert von Rausgegangen
This is where the 2024 festival gang of the German music scene meets. With artists such as Paula Hartmann and Mehnermoos, Juicy Beats is ideally positioned in the hip-hop sector. Seasoned artists Alligatoah and Cro will take us back to our teenage years. But indie is also very important at Juicy Beats: Edwin Rosen, Paula Carolina and Mayberg will be at the start. But everything in between and outside of that can also take to the stage, from Bibiza and Ritter Lean to Domiziana, Deki Alem and Ellice. If we haven't mentioned someone - they'll probably still be there.
Sommer am U: Animat + DJ Turtleneck & Friends
You shouldn't miss the tenth edition of the "Sommer am U" summer festival! From the beginning of June to the end of August, Dortmund's cultural center offers a colorful program of concerts, readings, DJ sets, film screenings and workshops. All events are free and take place outdoors. Our highlight in July is an evening with the singer-songwriter trio animat. The three musicians with a folky touch and string instruments in their luggage are masters at creating atmospheres. So enjoy a Sunday in a deckchair with a cold drink 🌞 and then let yourself be entertained by the DJ set from DJ Turtleneck & Friends with music from film & television 😁
