Pablo Brooks from Düsseldorf has played nearly fifty headline concerts in the past two years with his band, often selling out venues from Vienna to Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Amsterdam, and London. Largely unnoticed by the business and media, but deeply loved by numerous fans. This summer, he presents his second EP, "Pleaser." Pleaser represents the feeling of getting lost in a big city at the age of 20. Being so lost that one secretly hopes to be found by other people. It's about relationships, with lovers and friends, but above all about the confusing relationship with oneself. How one feels love and desire, pleasure and anger, and self-sabotage in the painfully long process of coming of age. Pablo's songs are always very visually oriented, like scenes from a neon-flickering night. Most of the songs for this record were written on the train, either on the way to a party or heading home. And there is always a longing, especially for things one will never reach. This whirlpool of emotions is immersed in thick international pop music, but also draws inspiration from dance music, indie rock, folk, or synth-pop. Catchy melodies meet storytelling lyrics about youth, loss, mental health struggles, or queerness, radiating so disarmingly, pointedly, and brutally from the life world of peers that the entire audience can sing along from the first to the very last line at concerts. And at the front, the jumping, dancing, sweating, and night after night compassionately suffering Master of Ceremony, Pablo Brooks.

Literary evening of the AUGSBURG GENERAL

Doors open: 6:30 PM

Four brothers, four personalities, 4x4 instruments, and tons of talent: The four "Hanke Brothers" promise nothing less than "Unheard Music Enjoyment." Classical, pop, jazz, techno? It doesn't matter! The groove connects everything. The four highly talented brothers play virtuously across all genre boundaries. Every concert of the "Boyband of Classical Music" becomes a delightful feast for all senses. Unexpected, unbelievable, unheard of.

Diversity, experimental spirit, pushing new boundaries, that is the life elixir of the brothers. Fabian, Jonathan, Lukas, and David play tuba, piano, viola, recorder. Each of them does it in their own special way - most impressively as a team on stage. No concert is like the other, no piece is as expected, and the instruments don't always play what you expect.

The four biographies are as colorful as the repertoire of the exceptional ensemble. Together, they have found a "musical dialect" on stage that has not been heard before. They are regular guests at, among others, the Ludwigsburg Castle Festival, the Heidelberg Spring, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, the Gezeiten Concerts, and the Mozart Festival Würzburg.

Featuring works by Oliver Davis, Jonathan Hanke, Aleksey Igudesman, Christoph Reuter, and others.

David Hanke (recorders), Lukas Hanke (viola, percussion), Jonathan Hanke (piano, percussion), Fabian Hanke (tuba, violin).

"Art is resistance", the new album by Doctor Krápula, offers an impressive show that you must not miss. Get ready to dance with your feet and raise your voice to sing with all your soul, because this virtuous band will take you on an unforgettable sound journey, where rebellion and passion become the force we need to change our world.

On their first album recorded in Germany, Doctor Krápula delivers deep and meaningful lyrics accompanied by special guests such as MÁL ELEVÉ, Le Fly, Panteón Rococó, and others. Each song is an invitation to join the resistance party, where music is the tool to overcome boundaries and build bridges of solidarity. The show is a true explosion of emotions and connection with the audience, creating an atmosphere of celebration and unity where you will feel part of something greater. Throughout their impressive career, Doctor Krápula has shared the stage and worked on projects with music greats like Seeed, Bukahara, Manu Chao, Ska-P, and others.

If you are looking for an experience that fills you with joy, inspires you to fight for a better world, and leaves you with unforgettable memories, you must not miss the show "Art is Resistance" by Doctor Krápula. Join the rebellious party!

Here laughs ....... Mainz!



In Germany's most famous stand-up comedy show, a host and four comedians ensure plenty of laughter and an unforgettable evening. Experience comedy as it should be: uncensored, up close, and above all, live! Here, your laugh muscles will be put to the test. With the mix of very different styles of humor, there's truly something for everyone to laugh about.



Moderation: Jacky Feldmann

… young, cheeky, outspoken

Jacqueline Feldmann is considered one of the promising figures of a new generation of comedians. She often serves as a role model for the young audience, while giving the older viewers a fascinating insight into the life of a young woman.



Alicja Heldt

… cheeky Hamburg girl with Polish roots

When she talks about her life, she does so with full physical commitment and heartfelt emotion. The audience appreciates her open and honest manner, even when it sometimes goes low-blow. Alicja is a buddy, a lady, and a joker. Somehow, all in one.



Fee Brembeck

… comedienne, poetry slammer, author, trained opera singer

All of these talents are wonderfully interconnected in Fee, and they hold enormous potential for her stories.



Toby Käp

… he no longer understands the world

Toby Käp, from the Eiffel region, has two handicaps: he is hearing-impaired and mama's favorite. Sometimes absurd, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes borderline, yet always pointed and authentic, he keeps people on their toes.



Achim Knorr

… absurdly dignified

With his guitar, he shakes catchy melodies out of his sleeve and skillfully places them in his brilliant music cabaret. Here and there, a hint of superficially naive yet deeply insightful humor flickers.



Doors open: 7:00 PM | Start: 8:00 PM

“I can quickly recognize if someone is anorexic.” King Kong Vivienne speaks unflinchingly and openly about the path out of eating disorders, slips into a gorilla costume, and sings pointedly against the patriarchy. With great joy in performance, she showcases self-empowering strategies and possibilities for rebellion that she has developed for herself. An emancipatory ride through the struggle and survival of being a woman in the 21st century.

Who am I and how would I like to be? Actress Causemann confronts the challenges of self- and external images in a time striving for individuality with biting humor. She invites us in a conversational tone to question the structures that limit women's opportunities for self-realization and their pleasure. It is wonderfully absurd when she recreates the "Literary Quartet" with Marcel Reich-Ranicki and Sigrid Löffler about Elfriede Jelinek's novel "Lust" as a one-woman show or passionately debates with philosophers of all times.

“…captivating, wonderfully funny and damn clever”
Magazine for Culture and Society

“When fearless protest against neoliberal constraints and the will for self-liberation are told with such depth, wit, adaptability, and versatile musicality, then it is helpful and relieving!”
STELLA*23 – Performing Arts Award

TRIGGER WARNING The piece includes complex themes such as addiction, eating disorders, and sexualized violence.

Brazilian rhythms at the Reithalle Rastatt.

"Music connects souls, writes new stories and allows us to dream," says singer, guitarist and composer Ítalo Caramuru, who will be a guest at the Reithalle Rastatt on October 12 with his band. Coming from the northeast of Brazil, he has found his new home in Germany. As the founder and bandleader of Forró de KA, he gained extensive experience on international stages in Europe. It was from this band that he began his solo career as CARAMURU.

CARAMURU is the fusion of Brazilian rhythms with innovative sounds – a merging of Afrobeat, Samba, Electropop, Jazz and R&B. This Brazilian crossover is inspired by great artists such as Gilberto Gil, Jorge Ben Jor, Elza Soares, Sergio Mendes, Djavan and Lenine – focusing on the tradition and future of Brazilian music. With the aim of awakening feelings to connect people, the band creates sounds that go straight to the heart and come from the heart. Ítalo's emotive voice transforms strength into sensitivity and longing into passion.

The band lineup consists of not only very talented professional musicians, but also individuals with a shared history, friendship, and common roots: Bruno Frey Nascimento on guitar (BR, DE), Johann Ahl de Oliveira on bass (BR/DE), Steffen Schuhmacher on keyboard and synths (DE), and Michael Mischl on drums (DE). The infectious sound of this international band takes the listeners on a journey through many musical landscapes, inviting them to an exciting and inspiring adventure.

Doors open at 7pm.
