LaBrassBanda - Polka-Party 2026 & Special Guest
LaBrassBanda is starting the "Polka Party"!
The Bavarian brass rebels are back with a new album and an explosive tour! With their unique blend of brass, pop, techno, and ska, paired with Bavarian charm and a healthy dose of punk attitude, they have revolutionized brass music and captivated millions of audiences. From "Habediehre" to "Übersee" to "Europa" – LaBrassBanda delivers hit after hit and ensures legendary parties with their high-energy live shows.
What began in 2007 as a musical revolution in Bavaria, shaking traditionalists there, but simultaneously attracting the youth to brass music in droves in front of stages and in clubs, captured the entire Federal Republic at the latest in 2013 during the German preliminary round for the Eurovision Song Contest. This was followed by sold-out concert halls from Berlin to Cologne, from Hamburg to Munich. Any language barriers with lyrics in Bavarian dialect: non-existent. The biggest festival stages, including Southside and Hurricane festivals, were literally stormed by fans as the band around frontman Stefan Dettl brought the night sky to glow with their captivating sound of brass-pop, hip-hop, punk, and techno. LaBrassBanda is a solid live act, which quickly spread throughout Europe: in 2014, the musically trained musicians toured throughout Great Britain in a nightliner and have since become an established name at all major festivals.
Their 2014 album "Kiah Royal" was recorded in a cow shed at the time. Guest musicians included Christoph Well, Rocko Schamoni, and Stephan Remmler. Together with music journalist Jan Wehn, the band published the book "Barfuß in Lederhosen um die Welt" in 2022, a mix of picture book and biography, which reflects on the band's travels to Marrakech, Novosibirsk, and the USA.
2024 was an eventful year for the band. With the singles "Goaßnmaß," "Teufelstanz," and "Space Bäda," they have already given a taste of their upcoming album and once again proved their musical versatility. "Goaßnmaß" celebrated friendship and good company, while "Teufelstanz" made a powerful statement against antisemitism, racism, and discrimination. With "Space Bäda," a collaboration with rapper Roger Rekless, they successfully ventured into new terrain and fused Bavarian sounds with modern hip-hop. Now the new album "Polka Party" is set to launch, with the cover – a hand-painted watercolor – designed by renowned German artist Tobias Rehberger.
