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!
