Famous pop stars and bands that have graced the stage of the Main Hall include Frank Zappa, the Doors and the Eagles, to name but a few. Legendary concerts, in the present as well as the past.

Guest performance ‟Simon and Garfunkel – Sinfonicˮ

Xatar feat. heavytones

Two pop-cultural icons come together here: With their joint live programme »Das Letzte Mahl«, Xatar and heavytones break down genre boundaries and mix trademark soul/funk/jazz sound with hard rap from the street. When explosive brass sections, driving percussion, funky guitars and vintage keyboard pads meet gangster rap with ruthless lyrics, it promises nothing less than a new level of hip hop and energetic live entertainment.

Naturally 7

Naturally 7 create the multi-faceted sound cosmos of a whole band from the sound of the drums to the bass, the guitar, the harmonica or even the trombone – and completely without instruments! The seven men sing a cappella, but they are not comparable with many other groups of this genre, because only a few achieve such a perfect sound. Sometimes it’s R’n’B, soul or hip hop, sometimes gospel, pop or even rock. In the programme »N7 @the Movies« Naturally 7 performs great songs from movies and musicals like »Titanic«, »West Side Story«, »Grease«, »8 Mile«, »Saturday Night Fever« and many more.

Bertram Engel

From the Westphalian province to rock star – this dream came true for Bertram Engel in 1976 when Udo Lindenberg signed the then 17-year-old for the legendary Panikorchester. A few years later, another superstar of German rock music, Peter Maffay, hired him as a permanent band member. Bertram Engel has now been in the spotlight with the two for almost five decades, sharing unique moments and destinies with them on and off stage. As a drummer, he is the pulse that drives and holds the band together. In his book, Engel tells of his exciting life as a rock musician, full of unrivalled anecdotes about the stars he has performed with. At the Laeiszhalle, Bertram Engel not only reads from the book, but also plays songs he wrote for Peter Maffay and Udo Lindenberg.

The Notwist

Curiosity and openness have always been the driving forces behind The Notwist’s music, but rarely has this been more evident than on their latest album »Vertigo Days« (2021). Musically, this openness is conveyed in an amalgam of melancholic pop and sparkling electronics, hypnotic krautrock and floating ballads.
