2025 - 20 YEARS OF LE FLY
LE FLY is a Hamburg band that sets every festival and every club in motion with their caustically cheerful good mood, soldering together rock, rap, ska and reggae as confidently as if they were identical quadruplets. Old schoolers would say crossover. LE FLY say St. Pauli dance music and are celebrating their 20th anniversary as a live band all year round in 2025 with around 50 concerts and a live album.
The birthday year 2025 started with a release - the long overdue live LP! Long overdue, as LE FLY is one of the strongest live bands in Germany. The band comments on this insinuation: "Playing live is what defines us and what we like to do best: Live on a stage, loud, around your ears and into your legs."
In February and March 2025, LE FLY played a 14-city tour in support of ROGERS.
This summer, LE FLY can be seen at at least 15 festivals. Deichbrand, among others, is already confirmed.
The nationwide 13-city headline tour will follow in the fall under the motto 20 YEARS OF LE FLY. LE FLY have already played over 500 concerts in their band history.
It all started in 2005 with the first gigs at flat share parties. The St. Paulians with a penchant for hyperactive extreme entertainment made their first public appearance at an event called "RockmeetsRap" in Hamburg's legendary Kiez Club Molotow. Their first festival shows followed in 2008, and from 2009 up to and including 2025, LE FLY are the only band in the world to have been invited to Deichbrand every single year since then. In addition to the annual, lavishly celebrated festival summers, LE FLY have also regularly performed on club stages throughout Germany and beyond since 2010.
LE FLY have also occasionally played concerts abroad, so far in Russia, Denmark, Switzerland and Luxembourg. The band is dreaming of a concert tour to South America in the near future. Signs of this are growing after the video single AI, released in 2024 with the Colombian band Doctor Krápula. LE FLY have previously opened for ZSK, Panteon Rococo, The Offspring, the Rogers and the fun combo 257ers, among others.
When it comes to "maximum fun", LE FLY are the competence center of hearts anyway - everyone who has ever experienced the "Eckis" live, whether in a club steaming with sweat or at their festival gigs, will confirm this without exception. On their four studio albums and countless other singles to date, all of which were mostly recorded and produced using the DIY method and released via the band's own label St. Pauli Tanzmusik, one song became a bouncy castle after the next. Since LaVie, Oder Was? (released in 2022), however, the band has become a little more concentrated in terms of genre confusion. The focus is on the three big "R's": rock, reggae and rap in the typical LE FLY radical condensation with instantly catchy hooks such as in the single release "L'amour", currently the most streamed LE FLY track. Followed by "St. Pauli Tanzmusik", a 9-minute posse song with numerous feature acts, including Liedfett, Sondaschule, Jaya The Cat, 257ers, Flo Mega and Captain Gips from Neonschwarz.
