Live on Stage
DJ Link The Beat & Caro Line
It’s time to lace up your dancing shoes and get ready for something truly special!
Introducing: ‘LINK THE BEAT & CARO LINE’ – the ultimate DJ duo who will treat your ears to the hottest beats!
What happens when experience meets freshness? That’s exactly what you’ll experience when these two dynamites take to the stage, bringing the perfect sound for every mood with a wide range of music genres.
SALÒ
The music created by the wonderfully anarchic Viennese riot-electroclash-spontaneity SALÓ on their second album, *Problemzone Mensch* – is that still punk? A ‘no future’ attitude to life, a rebellious pose, an ‘anything-but-the-status-quo’ stance, or simply: three chords, played fast, with a bit of shouting thrown in? All nonsense: the most important definition of punk is and always will be self-empowerment.
Drunken Masters
Numerous sold-out tour dates in recent years, sweat-soaked clubs, the crowd going wild and no end in sight – THE DEMOLITION CONTINUES! Joe and Chrissi have already wowed audiences on countless stages across many different countries – from intimate clubs to major festivals, the Drunken Masters have delivered unforgettable concert experiences with their high-energy stage presence. Their bass-heavy sound and rousing performance make them one of the most exciting live acts around.
Aftershow
The official extension of the Schwör mal! Party takes place at Cocomo Ulm! You can expect mixed music party classics on the main floor and finest house / tech house on the 2nd floor.
Free entry for all with “Schwör mal” wristbands!
