Concert Congés annulés – opening night

Désolé, ce texte n’existe pas en français.

Hold on to your beer, here we go again ! We’re kicking off the Congés Annulés festival with the kind of party that only we can throw : one that will leave you sweating and panting and coming back all summer long for more.

Don’t expect a break once the bands hit the first note ! We’ll keep the music playing with the help of a bunch of funky people.

Since their formation, King Khan & The Shrines have been spreading their hypersexual gospel around the world. They’ve become notorious for being one of the most entertaining groups since the days of Ike & Tina. Dressed in their ceremonial duds, King Khan and the Shrines are more than just a psychedelic soul revue though. If musical salvation is what you need, if your soul is searching for true absolution, look no further.

Bewitching arrangements, warm low-pitched vocal samples, and rousing percussions are Napoleon Gold​’s favourite tools when producing his ambient electronic tracks. Performed live, his tracks have even more intensity and character thanks to a mix of electronic sounds, guitars, piano, percussion, and subtle improvisations that makes each show unique.

Cologne-based 3‑piece band Sparkling​’s remarkable progression continues. Right off the bat they developed a reputation for hot, heady and sweat-drenched clubroom sets. Their latest LP, This Is My Life / Das Ist Mein Leben / C’est Ma Vie, has moved them even further towards the centre of the dancefloor. It’s a celebration !
