Our program tips for the Festival Friday:
For Festival Visitors:
Goldroger, 9:00 pm – Draussen im Grünen
► German Rap is not dead – anyone who claims that it might be simply has no clue where the gold is buried. Because beyond the big city rap with its never-changing tropes, guys like Goldroger have been showing us for quite a while what is actually possible if you dare to venture out of the comfort zone, the trends, the expectations.
Weval II, 9:30 pm – ARTE Concert Stage
► A Friday afternoon in mid-July. After work, you pack your bag and leave to meet your friends for a dip in the lake. The car radio is playing Weval, and after only a few minutes, your trip turns into a euphoric summer dream you never want to wake from. A warm shimmering rises up your neck and face, ambient and downtempo as well as microhouse and pop blending together in soft, verdant hues.
The Sparks Brothers, 7 pm – Zeise Kinos
► Sparks have been around since the time of the Beatles – however, the L.A. based project under the aegis of Ron and Russell Mael has never really received their due applauds. In well over half a century, they have lit up all facets of international music genres, including art, chamber pop, prog, electro, glam – you name it.
