The news you all wanted to read :)

FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM, DIE KRUPPS + FURTHER BANDS CONFIRMED!


Dear Amphi Fans,

as we go the lines of the current Amphi Festival programme constantly keep filling with more and more artists. Thus we are happy to announce six additional bands again, waiting to stoke the fire at Tanzbrunnen Cologne, on next year´s 22. & 23. July:

FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM | DIE KRUPPS
TANZWUT | CLAN OF XYMOX | M.I.N.E | EMPATHY TEST

FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM – that’s magic and mythos, the occult mystique of a band which shaped and continuously inspired goth rock with their dark visions since the mid-80s. Inseparably connected with the enigmatic personality of Carl Mc Coy, their rare and well-considered live-performances are always more than mere concerts. They are gathering and spiritual experience in one – soulfood of the highest!

As many of you know the cities of Cologne and Düsseldorf have been connected for centuries by an affectionately cherished rivalry. In the friendly strife for fame and favor in the Rhine area, it seems a matter of honor for our downriver neighbours to send out their finest contenders, representing them at Amphi Festival. A minstrel contest of metal-machine-music made in Düsseldorf - DIE KRUPPS! In other words: Jürgen Engler and his men, showing you where the steelhammer hits the anvil – heavily, energetically, legendary!

Also we will meet the devil himself in person of „Teufel“, giving himself the honor as frontman of German mediaeval-rockers TANZWUT. Dancing, singing and rocking out to their minstrel art, paired up with heavy riffing and a hint of electronica. That’s what we love the guys from Berlin for. Live always a force they already exist for 20 years in 2017! Time flies!

Next we salute another valued institution with Dutch CLAN OF XYMOX, whose distinct dark-wave-sound mesmerizes the audience since the mid-80s. Gothic of the old school – and as you know that ain’t actually the worst of schools. Looking forward to them!

At a certain time between Moscow, Berlin and Lima Jochen Schmalbach, Marcus Meyn and Volker Hinkel discovered their mutual ambition to develop another musical project beyond the band Camouflage, in which the three of them kept touring the world together for the last 15 years. By the name M.I.N.E they bring this musical vision to life, blending elements of electro-wave, gothic, pop and punk.

Finally we close today’s announcement with EMPATHY TEST. A sympathetic young electro-pop duo from London. Formed in 2013 the Brits are currently stirring up the scene, inspiring audiences with their modern sound while touring Europe, supporting Mesh.

Summing up the line-up so far, it includes the following artists plus more to come:


VNV NATION
FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM
DIARY OF DREAMS | LORD OF THE LOST
DIE KRUPPS | LETZTE INSTANZ | NACHTMAHR
DIORAMA | TANZWUT | FROZEN PLASMA | STAHLMANN | TORUL
CLAN OF XYMOX | MERCIFUL NUNS | WINTERKÄLTE | M.I.N.E | FABRIKC
ÆON SABLE | EISFABRIK | NEAR EARTH ORBIT | EMPATHY TEST

CALL THE SHIP TO PORT
THE AMPHI FESTIVAL OPENING EVENT 2017


The Amphi Festival opening event CALL THE SHIP TO PORT is a phenomenon! Brought to life first in 2013, we return to the MS RHEINENERGIE again in 2017 for another exclusive extravaganza, when the epic Rhine panorama unites with massive beats, forming a symphony of images, sounds and emotions.

Either for the rhythm of the music or the sundown on deck - CALL THE SHIP TO PORT is a special experience, sharing its fascination with anyone who once stepped aboard the unique European event catamaran.

In good tradition CALL THE SHIP TO PORT will open the Amphi Festival on Friday, 21.07.2017, with an impressive line-up, exclusively playing aboard the MS RHEINENERGIE. This time we´re very happy to give you:

FRONT 242
NEUROTICFISH
SCHEUBER

CALL THE SHIP TO PORT 2017 tickets are strictly limited and available in these two variations:

- Ticket „CALL THE SHIP“ + Amphi 2017 weekend ticket
- Upgrade ticket „CALL THE SHIP“

Tickets are available exclusively at Amphi Ticketshop www.amphi-shop.de while stock lasts. Upgrades are only available for visitors who already ordered or own a 2017 weekend ticket. Shipment of the tickets begins at the end of November.

After being repeatedly asked whether to offer CALL THE SHIP-tickets without the box set, this time we actually concluded to pass on the premium-boxes, allowing us to offer CALL THE SHIP TO PORT at a much cheaper ticket price. The additional price for Friday with CALL THE SHIP TO PORT is now only 49,00 € instead of 63,95 € (each plus 5,00 € pre-selling charge).

Further info at: www.amphi-festival.de/calltheshiptoport.html

Kind regards
Your Amphi Festival team!

Something wicked this way comes...

EISBRECHER, APOPTYGMA BERZERK
KIRLIAN CAMERA, DAS ICH & MANY MORE CONFIRMED

Dear Amphi Fans,

Autumn is here and it’s getting cold. Time to get stovestoking, throwing some hot coals into the flame which ignites the Amphi Festival 2017. Therefore today’s programme update comes along heavily packed. Not only with full throttle rock and chunky electrobeats but also with a few surprises to discover. Let’s lift the curtain for:

EISBRECHER
APOPTYGMA BERZERK | KIRLIAN CAMERA
DAS ICH | CHROM | ORDO ROSARIUS EQUILIBRIO
HENRIC DE LA COUR | THE OTHER | RUMMELSNUFF
ORANGE SECTOR | WE ARE TEMPORARY | LUCIFER’S AID

In featuring EISBRECHER we present you Amphi Festival’s second headliner of 2017. The Schock assimilated, the prototype assembled, it seems hell still has to wait a little longer. Ready to embark on the next storm voyage, captain Alex Wesselsky and Noel Pix give the call for a rapid foray, full speed ahead! Gladly the rockers from the beautiful ice state of Bavaria are a little crazy, so they don’t miss to celebrate the iceless summertime with a blasting festival show at Tanzbrunnen Cologne.

Multitalented and versatile, we are very much looking forward to the interdisciplinary Norwegians APOPTYGMA BERZERK. Long established beyond the borders of the electronic music scene, always in for a good surprise, the chartstormers around Stephan Groth serve finest alternative pop with rocking electronic edge – gripping to very final note. Also you may look forward to the elegant and epic synth sound of Italian-based cult formation KIRLIAN CAMERA, lead by singer Elena Alice Fossi and mastermind Angelo Bergamini.

Literally risen from the dead, DAS ICH are an undisputed highlight of any scene festival. An undemolishable rough-edged classic, you can’t help treasuring, if not loving for every given song. Over 30 years of gothic history unified in the personas of Stefan Ackermann and Bruno Kramm. Speaking of resurrection: rising again, though a little more „the living dead“-way, always played a pivotal role in the works of horrorpunk masterclass graduates THE OTHER. Zombies, ghouls and other monsters come to undead life as Lord Usher and his flock set-off for a crazy creature-boogie.

Do not miss out on the boppy electropop of CHROM, who of course bring some of their new 2016-released album „Peak & Decay“ along, as well as the Swedish wavepop-sorcerer and darling of the public HENRIC DE LA COUR. The charismatic artist from Stockholm returns to Amphi with fresh material in the trunk – well worth getting psyched about.

Again from Sweden, ORDO ROSARIUS EQUILIBRIO expand the current Amphi line-up in the field of dark folk/industrial. Completely unfolkish, yet all the more industrial, also Calle Nilsson (yet another Swede!) heads for Cologne with his electronic thunderstorm called LUCIFER’S AID. Inspired by the icy soundscapes of Belgian minimal industrial, the one man army delivers some serious artillery, ready to blow your minds away. The debut album „New To Reality“ already belongs to the toughest contenders for the machine bulwark of the year. Cold, sinister and unforgiving!

Following the motto „powerful music lends powerful arms“, in RUMMELSNUFF we got us an extra-strong seaman for the Amphi ship, throwing himself into the sweeps of the MS RheinEnergie at our Orbit Stage. The latter also goes for New York based sound-explorer Mark Roberts, who will give his Amphi first in shape of the ambitioned dark-electro project WE ARE TEMPORARY.

Concluding today’s massive line-up we give you another delicacy for fans of the classic EBM boot. Hanover based cult-machinists ORANGE SECTOR celebrate their 25th anniversary next year and they chose their first ever Amphi gig for what shall become one hell of a jubilee, you can’t afford to miss.

FINAL 8 BANDS TO COMPLETE LINE-UP!
.
Dear Amphi Fans,
.
In just about half a year, on 22. & 23. July, to be precise, the Amphi Festival will open its gates again. Thus we are happy to announce the final 8 bands today, completing 2017's Amphi line-up known by these names:
.
HOCICO
THE DANIEL MYER PROJECT
KITE | LEGEND | THE CREEPSHOW
ESBEN AND THE WITCH | MASSIVE EGO
BOX & THE TWINS
.
Whenever HOCICO, a.k.a. Erk and Racso, crack their well-tanned electronic whip, resistance is instantly rendered futile as conjuring beats and razorsharp synths begin to lash the rhythm into the crowd.
.
Famous for his smart electro sound, Daniel Myer (Haujobb, Covenant, Destroid, Architect, Liebknecht) stands as a well-recognised creative engine, producer and remixer with a touch for that certain something. Introducing THE DANIEL MYER PROJECT, the well-established Leipziger gathered an incredible cast. Together with JEAN-LUC DE MEYER (Front 242) and ESKIL SIMONSSON (Covenant), neither Combichrists ANDY LA PLEGUA and SVEN FRIEDRICH of Solar Fake, nor BORIS MAY of Klangstabil or Berlin charming boy TOMAS TULPE dare to miss the call of breaking ground together with Daniel Myer in a concert you haven't seen before.
.
As a true call of duty for fans of exceptionally voiced synthpop music, KITE from Sweden understand how to create a fascinating show, as the magnificent two-piece Berg/Stenemo starts its wizardry at up to four synths simultaneously. Breathing the rough climate of their Icelandic home, also LEGEND are to perform at Amphi Festival 2017. Don´t miss this thrilling stroll along the lava stream, their literal dance around a geyser, deeply glowing from the inside, yet ready to escalate at any given moment.
.
Beyond the electronic sounds, we also welcome THE CREEPSHOW, injecting a massive shot of rock & roll into Amphi 2017. Highly rated and requested after their last appearance, the energetic Canadians invade Cologne again, to turn your heads with an amazing Psychobilly ride, whereas British-based ESBEN AND THE WITCH enjoy to wait on with a sophisticated blend of postpunk, experimental darkwave and traces of the psychedelic 70s era, as Rachel Adams, Daniel Copeman and Thomas Fisher create absorbing soundscapes inviting you to dive into as a whole.
.
Also joining us directly from Cologne: BOX & THE TWINS who will present their dreampop debut "Everywhere I Go Is Silence", while the British electro formation MASSIVE EGO marks the final entry to the Amphi line-up.
