Ätna & NDR Big Band
Reeperbahn Festival
Last year’s winner of the ANCHOR Award at the Reeperbahn Festival and the talk of the town far beyond our borders with their debut album »Made By Desire« – this year already one of the most sought-after music duos in Europe: Inéz Schaefer and Demian Kappenstein have mastered the ascent to the peak of the volcano with wings instead of feet and are now dancing on the crater rim to their completely unique sound of lusher indietronica, delicate art pop and bilingual R&B deconstructions.
Please note: Festival tickets are available at www.reeperbahnfestival.com. Since seats at the Elbphilharmonie are limited, festival visitors are asked to register for the concerts in the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall in addition to the purchase of a festival ticket.
They resist stylistic conventions with a fat grin and as ÄTNA push the limits of what we once tried to define as pop music in this country or elsewhere. Shocking expectations as a modus operandi? And so it goes on: for their performance at the Elbphilharmonie this year, the two will be supported by the NDR Bigband, with whom they will present old and new track material in unprecedented form. It is not yet clear whether handkerchiefs will be needed for tears or sweat – probably both.
The Reeperbahn Festival ranks among the top five best events in the music and digital scenes worldwide. Entering its 16th season in 2021, the festival presents the most thrilling new international bands and artists in extraordinary and intimate venues. The festival has been a regular guest in the Grand Hall since the opening of the Elbphilharmonie and returns with five concerts this year.
