<p>Operation Golden Nose<br />Guitar: William Mackenzie<br /><br />Simple Language: Nessi Tausendschön has been performing cabaret for 30 years. She makes people laugh and think. Her performances are clever, funny, and sometimes also sad. She also sings on stage.<br /><br />People want to laugh. We are human, we want to be happy and not always just struggle. But often we do. And that is exactly what ideally happens in the evenings on the cabaret stages: Elegant, clever, and beautiful grappling with the big as well as the small themes of life. Failure as a platform, success by chance, happiness as a result of continuous striving for knowledge.<br />For 30 years, Nessi Tausendschön has been impossible to bomb from the stage. 30 years of cosmopolitan cultivated ragamuffinism, graceful grand and small art, stunning dance, melancholic self-reproach poetry, and beautiful music. When Nessi celebrates the breaks of life, even the soul-blind in the audience awaken from their distant paralysis, the boundaries blur between inner, remembered spiritual reality and outer, tangible presence, between public and private, indeed intimate, and no eye remains dry. In short: Nessi, as a cabaret artist, has a tongue like a riding whip, but as a singer, she has a voice like an angel. A wonderful combination. For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that 30 years of stage existence have not passed by Frau Tausendschön without a trace: She is a recipient of the German Small Arts Prize and the Salzburger Stier. These awards may stand representatively for the numerous other honors with wh

Simple language: Bröselmaschine is a German band. They play rock music. They have been around for a long time. Bröselmaschine is a band from Duisburg, founded by Peter Bursch and Willi Kissmer in 1968. With Bröselmaschine, not only is a piece of German rock history on stage. The group also currently demonstrates how energetic and dynamic progressive rock music can sound with folk and psychedelic influences! At the end of the sixties, they were among the first German rock bands and today are counted among the oldest active rock bands in Germany, captivating their audience with concerts worldwide for over 50 years. www.broeselmaschine.de | www.instagram.com/broesel_maschine/ | www.facebook.com/Broeselmaschine | Doors: 7:00 p.m. | Standing room Expected end: 10:30 p.m. Advance sale: from 27.10 8 (incl.

Simple language: Alfons is a cabaret performer. He comes from France and lives in Germany. He wants people to speak well with each other. “That I came to Germany was a coincidence,” says Alfons. “That I stayed is not.” For over three decades now, “Germany's favorite Frenchman” (FAZ) has been living here, in the “land of poets and plumbers,” as Alfons likes to call his second home. It was meant to be a short episode. But then life intervened: Alfons fell in love – with Germany, with the Germans. “Class!” is the title of his new, now eighth full-length stage piece. It has become a love letter – and an urgent wake-up call at the same time. In “Class!”, Alfons, in his inimitable way, acts as a repairer of the crumbling bridges over the divides in our society. Warm-hearted, witty, and wonderfully far-sighted, he reports on his school visits, explores the madness of the world, and appeals to the strengths of the people. And in doing so, Alfons, the cult reporter, passionate storyteller, and fluff philosopher, leaves no doubt as to why it has become his calling to go back to school: “I feel that this young generation has something to say – that is good, after all, they are the foundation of the future. But they do not say it because they feel unheard – and that is dramatic.” His intense conversations have an impact in both directions: They are the cornerstone for Alfons's newly founded “Grand-Mère Foundation,” with whose help a genuine democracy project is meant to grow out of his school visits. And they are the impetus for this new program: “As controversial as the discussions

In simple terms: Rathmann is going on tour. They’ll be playing a concert here with the band Woanders. It’ll be indie music. Rathmann plays dark guitar pop. Unpolished and raw. Gritty, spacious, and with a sense of romance. On their debut album, *Die Goldenen Zwanziger*, set for release in fall 2026, they’ve found a clear sense of identity—a distinctive sound—and tell their stories with honesty and relatability. When their songs depict a young couple facing an unplanned pregnancy, people falling off the rails, or dystopian visions of the future taking hold—Rathmann captures the ’20s in a profound and introspective, yet catchy and beautiful way. Their own ’20s and the decade in which they’re living them. A band that allows itself to simply be a band. A band that isn’t guided by the zeitgeist, but exclusively by its own interests. www.rathmannrathmann.de | www.instagram.com/rathmann.rathmann/ | www.facebook.com/rathmannrathmann ook.de Woanders: Whether on a festival main stage or at intimate club shows—what truly makes the band unique is its ability to create moods that contrast yet blend together: euphoric and contemplative, danceable and moving all at once. Woanders create a blend of rousing indie pop, energetic indie rock, and melancholic yet hopeful lyrics that poignantly break away from the everyday.

Simple language: Abdelkarim is a cabaret artist. He tells funny stories. He encourages us. Do you have to let go of life dreams that just won’t come true at some point? Realistically, yes, but luckily Abdelkarim doesn't dwell on such realism for long. With his new program "Plan Z," he shows us that the alphabet has 26 letters for a reason. Where Plan B fails miserably, Plan Z only just starts to warm up. From a six-pack in express time to world peace for all: When Abdelkarim tackles our problems, everything seems possible, even for him. The often absurd everyday life with its small and large issues that we all want to manage is carefully examined. In doing so, the Moroccan dove of peace touches on the wound, but she also has band-aids with her. 26 of them. Is this now comedy or cabaret? To be honest, we don’t know, but it’s above all funny, sincere, typically subtle, and when necessary, also hits hard. "Plan Z" is Abdelkarim's fourth full-length solo program. His last tour was sold out early in many places. Therefore, secure your tickets quickly now!

Emotional, captivating, touching, meaning-giving: In times of resignation, AI, and a darkening world situation, concerts by CATT are places of hope and retreats that create connections, as only special music can. With now four studio albums, international media recognition, and awards for her work, CATT is one of the most important voices of her generation. Her songs sparkle with vitality, joy of life, and lightness, yet always travel deep into honesty and shadows. This multidimensionality, the connection of the classic timelessness of 60s and 70s music with a fresh indie spirit, is only achieved by CATT. Years of writing, experimenting, and hundreds of concerts with her band have shaped a unique sound: characterful, organic, and extraordinarily inspired. The gifted multi-instrumentalist and songwriter and her band enchant with immense joy of playing and skill, effortlessly switching between instruments and colors, dynamics, humor, gentleness, confidence, and risk. Four close friends, a musical conversation on stage, and the ability to tell a new story every night make CATT concerts an experience with transformative power. www.catt-music.com/de | www.instagram.com/catt | www.facebook.com/musicbycatt

Simple Language: The Hirsch Effekt is a band from Hanover. Their music is a mix of indie, punk, metal, and electronic sounds. At this concert, they will first play their new album “Der Brauch” in its entirety. After that, they will perform the most popular songs from their older albums. With a special concert format, The Hirsch Effekt will return to the stage in 2027. Under the title “An Evening With The Hirsch Effekt,” the band presents an evening dedicated entirely to their current album Der Brauch – and also provides a comprehensive look at their career so far. In the first set, Der Brauch will be performed live in its entirety and in the intended order for the first time. The album, perceived by many as one of the band's most cohesive works, unfolds its entire dramatic power in this way. Songs, transitions, and moods merge into a coherent concert experience that goes far beyond the usual presentation of individual album tracks. After a short break, a second set will follow, focusing on the band's other works. Compiled from the six other albums and numerous creative phases, this “Best Of” program brings together fan-favorite classics, long-missed live pieces, and key songs from the band's history. Thus, a concert evening is created that dives deep into the present of The Hirsch Effekt while also tracing their development over the past years. As usual, The Hirsch Effekt will forgo an opening act and dedicate the entire evening to their own program. The intense closeness to the audience, the energetic live presence of the band, and a carefully coordinated light show pr

Simple language: Girls In Airports is a jazz band. They play drums, percussion, keyboard, bass and saxophone. With their Cirkular Tour 2027, Girls in Airports are returning to their roots — and at the same time opening a new chapter. In February 2027, their new EP of the same name will be released: the first release since 2023 to come entirely from the band’s own creative energy. After exciting collaborations with other artists, the focus now returns to the essentials: the band’s unique sonic language and the intuitive interplay of the four musicians. Since 2010, Girls in Airports has been one of the most distinctive voices between jazz and indie in Europe. With ten albums and countless concerts in Europe and Asia, they have built up a loyal international fan base. Their sound knows no boundaries: melodic and atmospheric, yet raw and full of a spirit of discovery. Saxophone, keys, percussion and drums merge into a pulsating overall sound in which rhythm does not merely accompany, but shapes and drives things forward. Live, this becomes an intense experience. A flowing interplay of driving beats and open soundscapes — sometimes floating, sometimes powerful and physical. Every moment is created in the here and now, carried by presence, energy and a palpable closeness between band and audience. With Cirkular, Girls in Airports return to their essence — focused, collective and in constant motion forward. www.girlsinairports.com | www.instagram.com/girlsinairports | www.facebook.com/girlsinairports Admission: 7:30 pm | seated | free seating (seated events only) Advance sa

Simple language: Sascha Stiehler and Antonio Lucaciu make music together. They play different instruments: piano, saxophone and synthesizer. The duo Stiehler/Lucaciu stands for a unique fusion in which classical music meets jazz and comedy meets pop - music between the courage to close your eyes and going wild while sitting down. Sascha Stiehler and Antonio Lucaciu met over 22 years ago at a youth music competition and have been not only musical but also best friends ever since.

In simple terms: Fred Costea is a comedian. He tells really funny stories on stage. His new show is called “Zwei.” It’s impossible to imagine the German comedy scene without Fred Costea.

Simple language: The Tingvall Trio consists of three musicians. They play jazz music with piano, double bass, and drums. They have received many awards for their music. Now they are coming to KFZ with their new album "PAX". For more than two decades, the Tingvall Trio has been a reliable guarantee of gripping piano trio jazz with catchy melodies and powerful rhythms. Their productions have been awarded the Jazz Award in Gold eight times and in Platinum once. Their latest album, "Birds," once again reached No. 1 in the German Jazz Charts, and sold-out concerts all over Europe testify to the popularity of the three adopted Hamburgers. To prepare for the new long-player "Pax," the trio went on a concert tour at the beginning of the year, ending with the three of them heading straight to their favorite studio, ARTE SUONO. The result is an album that sounds almost as energetic, but also as fragile, as a live concert. Never before has the trio been captured in the studio so straightforwardly, whether in moving ballads like "A Promise" or typical TT get-going numbers like "Cruisin'." The album title "Pax" was chosen very deliberately, as Martin Tingvall explains: "In a world full of unrest and increasing social polarization, it was especially important to me to make a statement for peace with our music. With our album Birds, we already tried to reflect the troubling developments of our time musically. Since then, much in the world has continued to change for the worse. As a musician, I do not want to stand by and watch this in silence. From autumn onward, the trio will of cou
