westernBEhagen: These are seven musicians on stage, aiming to present the music of Marius Müller-Westernhagen as authentically and melodiously as possible. It’s not about playing note for note, but about conveying the mood and groove of this artist's songs through powerful live events. westernBEhagen covers the important, the well-known, the emotional, the bluesy, the rocky, the older, the newer, and the acoustic sides of Marius Müller-Westernhagen with their setlist. On stage, the aforementioned seven musicians ensure that the show kicks off properly and creates a pleasant, atmospheric feeling: just westernBEhagen. westernBEhagen.... The idea for the band's formation came in early 2009. Due to the frontman's voice, it quickly became clear what it had to be. The resemblance to the original is too great! Founded in January 2009, the band was already performing on stages in the area by August of the same year. With now about 3.5 hours of repertoire, the show is on. Captivating covers of Westernhagen classics, powerful, authentic!!!. Because: People who dream of freedom should not miss the celebration!

With "Morrison Hotel," you experience a musical flashback right into the wild flower power world of the late sixties. Classics like "Light My Fire," "Break On Through," "Riders On The Storm," "L.A. Woman," "Roadhouse Blues," "When The Music's Over," or "The End" are presented effectively. But lesser-known songs by the DOORS like "Universal Mind," "Ship Of Fools," "My Eyes Have Seen You" also belong to the repertoire. "The Morrison Hotel" do not just play the DOORS live; they perform the DOORS. Not least, the impressive performance and the vocal color of the frontman contribute to this. His voice contains nearly all the facets that characterized Jim Morrison's voice. Sometimes clear and extraordinarily hypnotic like the young Jim, who could blend out everything excessive in the room with this voice, then again hearty, rough, and unpretentious like the later, bluesy Mr. Morrison. Countless concertgoers have already been led with much pathos on a mystical journey back in time to the rebellious world of the DOORS, in order to keep the musical memory of one of the most legendary American rock bands alive, and they are gladly asked for an encore even after a 3-hour set :-) Cast: Erik Klingenberg (vocals) Jörg Jungbluth (guitar) Gunter Baumann (bass) Benjamin Krämer (drums) Thomas Vogt (organ, bass & piano) For more information, visit www.altes-e-werk-nierstein.de Entry: 24.00 € / person

U12 (pronounced: “u-one-two”) takes the audience on a musical journey through all the creative phases of the Irish band U2. The band sounds authentic in every nuance, made possible only by a personal fascination with the original. The hit potential of U2 seems almost endless: With songs like “With Or Without You, Beautiful Day, Desire, One, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, Where The Streets Have No Name, Pride (In The Name Of Love)” and many more, familiar melodies run like a red thread through the program. But special songs for the more seasoned U2 fans are also impressively performed. A humorous connection with the audience and U2-typical show elements round off the show. In addition, U12 also proves that the music of Bono & Co. is not just a pure privilege of cultural and social messages, but can also simply be a lot of fun with its anthemic choruses.

Black Widow – these are five experienced musicians who have shaped the rock scene in the Rhein-Neckar-Delta for over 30 years. The band was founded in 2018 by frontman and singer Steffen Prell, also known as “Captain Mick” (Stoned), Michael Schindler (“Jo Ker,” former guitarist with Pirates), and Andreas Kraus (“Doc,” guitarist with Cheap Purple). In 2022, Mirko Amann (bass) and Tom Beisel (drums) joined, completing the perfect rhythm section. The vision of creating an Alice Cooper tribute band that is unmatched in Germany arose not least from the astonishing visual similarity of the charismatic singer to his great idol. But Black Widow is much more than a cover band – from the very beginning, the focus was on bringing an impressive spectacle to the stage. The legendary Alice Cooper work “Welcome to My Nightmare” (1975), where rock and theater merge on stage, served as inspiration for the stage show. To bring this unique show to life, the band is supported by six extraordinary performers: Nurse Marge, Antoinette de la Fleur, Wednesday Alice, Miss Mystery, the enchanting Sandrin, and the dark Shadow. They complement the musical power with impressive characters, imaginative costumes, and captivating productions. Look forward to an exhilarating rock show full of energy, glamour, and a touch of dark charm – a tribute to Alice Cooper, in which his works are brought back to life in impressive ways!
