Event

On Friday, the three-piece from Ulm bring together what belongs together: raw energy, honest lyrics and a sound that doesn't beat about the bush. An evening for everyone who knows that music can hurt.

Let's get started with pogo chaos, self-doubt and shitting on your Nazi neighbors' doorstep: Moltke & Mörike make punk music with indie vibes in German. Reinventing the wheel? No need to. With the right authenticity, they sing about a world that raises more questions than it answers - somewhere between garage sound and indie ballad. Rocking like the Strokes on speed.

Pornophon then take over the stage. Pornophon have been around since 1998 and are not a bit tame: they are post-hardcore punk that is difficult to categorize. "Rough and powerful, nervously restless post-hardcore punk" is the verdict of TRUST magazine - and it's pretty accurate. With vinyl releases on the legendary Klangbad label and a current live EP under their belt, they know exactly what they're doing.

To top it all off, the CHUNKS show what a wall of fuzz pedals sounds like just before a meltdown. Inspired by the garage sound of the 60s and the dirt of the early 90s, the duo deliver short, crunchy songs drenched in fuzz and feedback. Overdriven amps, lyrics that hurt where it hurts and an attitude that doesn't care about conventions. But listen for yourself.

Open Tower 2.0 - art, creativity and exchange
This year, the Kehlturm is once again part of the festival: the open cultural space for creative projects is entering its second round in the Open Tower format. Following the successful first test phase, the concept will be developed further this year and this time will even be brought to life over a longer period of time.
Visitors can expect a diverse mix of interactive installations, exhibitions, open studios, Ulm craftsmanship and scientific formats. Some projects specifically invite active participation - from collaborative design to experimental formats at the interface of art, culture, technology, science and society.
The tower thus becomes a lively place for exchange and encounters that constantly opens up new perspectives. Those who make it to the top are rewarded with a roof terrace with a rooftop bar and a wonderful view over the whole of Ulm.
