AIRFIELD ROCK 2024

Alex Beyrodt & Friends feat. Thomas Blug, BONFIRE, The Pink Floyd Project

From August 22, 2024, to August 24, 2024, the backdrop of the Wallerfangen/Düren airfield transforms into an open-air concert stage for the first time. Over three days, from August 22, 2024, to August 24, 2024, the airfield will be dedicated to rock and hard rock music.

The event kicks off on August 22, 2024, with Alex Beyrodt & Friends feat. Thomas Blug. Guests can expect honest and handmade rock music of the highest caliber with two of the best guitarists in the Southwest. Alex and Friends, a household name nationwide. Alex Beyrodt, composer, guitarist, and producer, has once again achieved a career highlight with his musical friends. Alex travels worldwide with his rock and metal bands, Primal Fear, Sinner, or Voodo Circle. Additionally, he is a key part of the successful series "Rock meets Classic," featuring orchestras and guest stars like Ian Gillan, Steve Lukather, Alice Cooper, Don Felder, Steve Winwood, just to name a few. With the project Alex and Friends, he gathers his musical and personal friends - and these friends are truly remarkable. Thomas Blug, does this name still need an introduction? A renowned German rock guitarist, the best European Stratocaster player, and an amp sound designer known worldwide.

On vocals, David Readman from England, the rock pipes known for his work with Pink Cream 69, who shook up the European charts in the '90s. On drums, Tommy Fischer, the friendly Hessian who played with Guildo Horn for 10 years, is a regular at Thomas Blug's Rockanarchy and is a member of the Woodstock legend Miller Anderson's band, who showed Santana at Woodstock in 1969 how to set up his amp. Last but not least, on bass and vocals, Rudi “Gulli” Spiller joins Alex and his band crew. As a co-founder and permanent member of Rockanarchy, he is widely recognized, at least in Germany. Names like Mick Rogers (MM Earthband), Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson), or Phil X (Bon Jovi) are just a few big names that have shared the stage with "Gulli" and his Rockanarchy.

The concert series "AIRFIELD ROCK 2024" continues on August 23, 2024, with the legendary German hard rock band "BONFIRE". Bonfire is considered one of the best hard rock bands in Germany, and in 2018, they performed at the legendary Wacken Open Air. Bonfire has released 14 albums to date, with sales totaling over 6.5 million worldwide. Originally from Ingolstadt, Germany, and founded in 1972 as Cacumen, the band renamed itself Bonfire in 1986. Hans Ziller and Bonfire have enjoyed over 40 years of success, celebrating significant achievements along the way. These include tours with Judas Priest and ZZ Top, a gold record for Fireworks in Germany, multiple album chart entries in various countries, appearances on ZDF TV Rockgarten in 2020 and 2021, and the classic "You Make Me Feel" reaching over 25 million views on YouTube. Bonfire has diligently worked on a significant project to be released in 2023 on AFM Records.

This project includes a book biography by Hans Ziller, a Bonfire documentary, and re-recordings of the first 3 Bonfire albums, DON'T TOUCH THE LIGHT, FIREWORKS, and POINT BLANK. Bonfire is globally recognized for their great songwriting, catchy melodies, and heavy metal-infused musicality.

Completing the "AIRFIELD ROCK 2024" series on August 24, 2044, is the currently most popular Pink Floyd tribute band from St. Wendel, "The Pink Floyd Project".

50 years ago, Pink Floyd released "The Dark Side Of The Moon," one of the most successful albums of all time. The Pink Floyd Project's show is inspired by this album, bringing the songs from "The Dark Side Of The Moon" closer to their audience in a unique live performance. The Pink Floyd Project from St. Wendel in Saarland has been captivating its audience with authenticity and power for over 16 years, unmatched by many others in the tribute scene. Thanks to the band members' musical prowess and a clear, impactful sound, The Pink Floyd Project delivers emotional effects similar to the original's celebrated style, from the ethereal, atmospheric songs of "Shine on you crazy Diamond" to "Hey You." An exceptional open-air experience awaits the visitors.

Berlin, December 1927: Harry Frommermann has no academic singing or music training, but he is a great fan of the American vocal quartet "The Revelers." Now he is looking for professional singers for his own ensemble. Robert Biberti responds to his advertisement, who not only has an exceptional bass voice but is also a fervent admirer of "The Revelers." Biberti brings his two choir colleagues, Ari Leschnikoff and Roman Cycowski, and one of them brings the pianist Erwin Bootz. As a second tenor, Walter Nußbaum joins initially, but soon he is replaced by Erich Collin. The rest is history: The foundation of the "Comedian Harmonists," the meteoric rise of the sextet, and in 1935, the professional ban for the three Jewish members by the National Socialists and the subsequent dissolution of the group.

"Veronika, the spring has arrived" as well as "My little green cactus" and many other evergreens are still unforgettable and beloved today.

DIRECTING
As with all productions of the Marionettenoper, the emphasis in "Die Fledermaus" was placed on translating music into choreographed movement. One could even say that this principle was taken to its extreme here. When a character sits down, gets up, takes a step, it is determined by the music. Otto Schenk, who has directed "Die Fledermaus" worldwide and is probably one of the greatest experts of this musical masterpiece, said: "Not a single note is accidental." And this is not only true for Strauss. One can discover this connection with all the great opera composers.

STAGE HISTORY
"Die Fledermaus" was created between September 1873 and March 1874. The libretto was written by Richard Genée based on a play by the highly successful author duo Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, who two years earlier had created the basis for "Carmen," the most performed opera in the world to this day. Genée not only provided the text but also had a significant influence on the musical adaptation. According to the latest research, he is even credited with the majority of the musical material. Unfortunately, he was not entitled to any royalties for the success of "Die Fledermaus." "Die Fledermaus" is considered the queen of operetta and conquered the world after its Viennese premiere. It is one of the few operettas regularly performed at major opera houses such as the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala in Milan, the Vienna State Opera, and the Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London.

Already from 2004 to 2013, Rosenau, together with Theater Rampe, Theaterhaus, Literaturhaus, and Laboratorium, annually organized the "Viennese Week" festival. The idea was to focus on Vienna/Austria for a week and specifically invite cabaret artists, writers, authors, and theater productions from there to Stuttgart. The series "Wiener Blut" now picks up on this idea again. Throughout the year, various Austrian cabaret artists will present their programs at Rosenau: Social, political, and interpersonal topics are entertainingly brought to the stage in a cabaret style! And everything is a bit more biting, sinister, ironic, quirky, and often more poetic than from German territory.
The subscription consists of the following 6 events:
- 09.02.24 Benedikt Mitmannsgruber with "The strange case of Benedikt Mitmannsgruber"
- 04.04.24 Blonder Engel with "Songs that are funny and sometimes a bit sad, but that's okay"
- 19.04.24 Christine Teichmann with "Left right human rights"
- 11.09.24 Magda Leeb with "Pigging out"
- 04.10.24 Blözinger with "New Program"
- 23.10.24 Hosea Ratschiller with "HOSEA"

Family Addams is moving back into Zietenschlosshof Wustrau! Feel free to come and visit! Join in and dress up as "Wednesday," "Uncle Fester," "Morticia," or "Pugsley."

Welcome to "The Addams Family"! It is the epitome of a nightmare and the iconic counter model to the idyllic world of a "normal," conservative family. But what is normal anyway? "What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly." (Morticia Addams) This comedy truly inspires a bit more "madness"! With captivating sounds, spirited choreography, and a lot of humorous texts and scenes, this musical invites you into a somewhat "different" and "darker" world, which in the end will appear no less affectionate. In short: A touch more "Addams" could do us all some good! Visit the Addams Family in the spookily beautiful setting of Zietenschloss Wustrau.

Directed and artistically managed by: Marten Sand
Choreography by: Gesine Sand

Doors open at 7:30 PM

In addition to the ability to move their listeners to pause and escape everyday life, they also manage to seduce and inspire their audience live. Puristic and elegant as a duo, with double bass and drums as a quartet, the two Cologne-based musicians change their lineup depending on the setting. However, they always remain true to themselves and never lose their approachability, no matter where or how many people they perform in front of.

“toi et moi” are Julia Klomfaß and Raphael Hansen, who have dedicated themselves soul and body to music.

Julia Klomfaß sings and plays various instruments such as accordion, piano, musical saw, and mandolin. With these sometimes unusual instruments, she gives the songs an individual sound world. Raphael Hansen, who is half French, plays the guitar, sings, and contributes more to the lyrics and composition of the songs. They play “Nouvelle Chanson” because they sing in French and combine modern and traditional songwriter elements. The songs sound sometimes groovy and danceable, sometimes melancholic and tender; their music aims to make the whole of life, with all its facets and ups and downs, tangible. The special connection between the two is based on their long friendship and deep trust, which becomes palpable and audible both on stage and in the studio.

In 2009, the two met in the Volksgarten in Cologne with a guitar and accordion and a song idea. During this first joint musical encounter, the first song was created directly. It was called "toi et moi," just like their later duo, and it was clear: the language was French. Both immediately felt that this language perfectly suited their music. In 2022, they released their fifth album on the Cologne-based label "gmo-the label" (Björn Heuser, Gerd Köster, Jenny and the Mexicats) titled "l’univers parallèle."
