Parra For Cuva - Nacar Tour 2026
10/1/2026 at 8:00 PM / Köln

Parra for Cuva returns in 2026 with a new album – Nacar – and a world tour, marking the next step in his artistic development. Known for his immersive electronic soundscapes that blend organic instruments with intricate, emotional production, he is now expanding his vision with a new visual language and live experience that deepens the connection between sound and space.

Since the release of his early albums Majouré and Darwîś, Parra for Cuva has steadily developed a sound that sits between electronica, ambient, and modern classical influences. Works like Paspatou, Juno, and Mimose reflect a growing fascination with sound and texture, balancing rhythm and introspection while maintaining a sense of openness and curiosity throughout.

With over 1 billion streams worldwide, Gold (UK) and Platinum (Australia) for Wicked Games, and collaborations with ODESZA, Ólafur Arnalds, Glass Animals, and Monolink, Parra for Cuva has become a distinctive voice within contemporary electronic music. His performances at Burning Man, Sziget, Fusion, and his Cercle live session in Mexico highlight his thoughtful approach to live shows, where atmosphere and emotions take center stage.

The upcoming Nacar LP and tour mark a phase of quiet expansion – with new collaborations and visual elements, while remaining true to the reflective, melodic character that defines his work. It is less about reinvention and more about a continuation of Parra for Cuva's exploration of sound as a space for connection and imagination.

STOPPOK - RUND-Reise - die Band-Tour 2026
10/22/2026 at 8:00 PM / Köln

Main thing RUND: STOPPOK is celebrating his birthday on the stages of the country

Travel educates. This “RUND-Reise” all the more. STOPPOK, the witty seismograph of our country, will be celebrating a round birthday in 2026, turning 70. That’s too beautiful not to be celebrated. On a “RUND-Reise” through the republic, on the live stages of the country, which have always been STOPPOK’s natural habitat and emotional territory. So, let's get into the jubilee tours with edges and corners, with heart and brain, with a new album and old friends. The lyric-singing-guitar-icon is obviously in the best birthday mood.
STOPPOK is now a role model of an entire guild for 50 years, traveling as a unique entertainer from the fresh department of vital songwriting, as an independent spirit on “solid ground,” who decided early on between “money or life,” as an outstanding lyricist full of wit, wisdom, and pointed poetry. The weather prophet of value change shines as a unique piece. There can be no talk of diminishing strength or ideas. An indication: The last two albums, “Jubel” and “Teufelsküche,” landed in the top five of the Media Control Charts.
STOPPOK is a singer and musician highly regarded by renowned colleagues, who combines a loose tongue with astonishing craftsmanship (he masters his string instruments in a highly personal way). Fed from folk, blues, and rock’n’roll, the STOPPOK sound develops energy and individuality. This idea of grooving emotional outbursts is supported by his well-rehearsed band: Reggie Worthy on bass, Leo Lazar on drums, and Sebel on keys and guitar are therefore accompanying passengers on the “RUND-Reise” (October 21, 2026, to November 15). Fitting for a new song from the album to be released for the tour: “The longer we walk together, the better we will understand each other.”
STOPPOK keeps going, persistently, joyfully, whimsically. Surprises us with special live evenings, where spontaneity, mockery, and soul massage triumph. Nothing gives in to seventy. What a blessing!

HEAVEN 17 - „ELECTRONICALLY YOURS“ Tour 2026
11/16/2026 at 7:30 PM / Köln

HEAVEN 17 bring their legendary synth-pop sound back to Germany live in November 2026 with a new tour!

What started as an experimental project has developed into a mainstay of the British music scene: HEAVEN 17 have represented intelligent electro-pop, socially critical lyrics, and danceable grooves for over four decades.

The band was founded in the early 1980s by Martyn Ware, one of the founding members of The Human League, who later worked as a producer for global stars like Tina Turner. Together with his bandmates from HEAVEN 17, he created a distinctive sound heavily inspired by electronic pioneers like Kraftwerk, capturing the spirit of an entire generation.

Their first album Penthouse and Pavement made a big impact: it quickly achieved Gold status in the UK and is now considered a style-defining classic. Tracks like “Let’s All Make A Bomb” and “Song With No Name” demonstrate how progressive and sonically bold HEAVEN 17 were back then and continue to be today.

With their follow-up work The Luxury Gap, the band solidified their international success.
With “Temptation”, HEAVEN 17 achieved one of the biggest synth-pop hits of the 80s. The song, which is still a staple in their shows, is said by Martyn Ware to be “an absolute crowd-pleaser in any context.”

In 2026, HEAVEN 17 will once again go on tour with a best-of program that excites both fans and newcomers alike. The “ELECTRONICALLY YOURS” Tour 2026 brings back the distinctive sound of the 80s, enriched with the live energy and experience of a band that has made music history.

Four decades of electrifying pop – live and direct on stage
