Dead Dates formed in 2022 in Düsseldorf, led by Marcus “Opa” Haefs, who has been in numerous bands. New EP consists of just three tracks – title‘Rebellion in Blackpool’, plus ‘Stand Up’ and ‘Clark Kent’. Another interesting step is that all three songs are performed entirely in English. Every song has its own identity and message, yet together they feel like chapters of Continue Reading

Italian ska-punk veterans Los Fastidios return to Kulturrampe, Krefeld for another sold-out night packed with unity, passion - and absolute chaos from start to finish.
