Down (us) at Roxy from 23:00   

Imagine early Southern Rock squeezing through a Geezer Butler strainer in these post punk modern days. There is no label for what Down does, as are there no labels for the "thousand miles from New York" bands that share members with them; Crowbar, Corrosion of Conformity, EyeHateGod, and Pantera. This is chemistry. This is the solution.

The Hives at Roxy from 19:00
The Hives are a rock band from Fagersta, Sweden that first rose to prominence in the early 2000s as a leading group of the garage rock revival, playing punk-influenced garage rock. Their breakthrough came with the release of the "best-of" compilation Your New Favourite Band, featuring their most commercially successful song "Hate to Say I Told You So". The Hives are known for their "hilarious self-glorification,"[2] and performing in matching suits that change with each album, but are always black and white.

The Fuckladies , Failed Teachers and Dadoes at Cross Club from 19:00   
The Fuckadies celebrate loud butt-smacking Gentlemen-Rock without the endless guitar-twiddling nobody really needs. Slick and straightforward-played songs with a punkrock-attitude coming from the bottom of their heart. On the road throughout Europe since 2001, be it in front of 5 or 500 thirsty souls, the well-dressed 4-piece will deliver all they’ve got under any circumstance given. Bad times and broken hearts never sounded better!

Die Art (de), Phil Shoenfelt and Southern Cross, Secret 9 Beat at Vagon from 20:00
They were founded in 1984 as Die Zucht, which means "the breed" in German. They were later forced to change the name, due to the goverment of the German Democratic Republic not being amused about the name.
Their famous, legendary concert in 1989 infront of over 12.000 people, was kind of like their big kick-off. After their concert, in the timespace between 1990-2001, they released 9 complete CD albums, as well as a bunch of EPs and singles.
In 2001 they decided to move away from Die Art, and a new band was born; Wissmut. Wissmut consist of the same artists that were performing on Die Art's last two concerts Moritzbastei, which was later released on CD ("Last Live Sequences").
In 2007, they changed back to Die Art.
