*AMPHI FESTIVAL 2012 – THE ORKUS OPEN AIR
*– PRESS RELEASE –
Dear Amphi Festival Fans,
On 21. & 22. July 2012 the Amphi Festival is going into its 8th edition and it is already fact: it will be an extraordinary summer Open-Air at Tanzbrunnen, Cologne, with more than 40 artists on three stages, its own beachclub, the gigantic merchant gallery, the café-hall and much more!
Sold-out 3 times within the past four years, the upcoming edition promises to be nothing less than a complete success again. No surprise the first half of the band-announcements already brought forth a massive line-up, including THE SISTERS OF MERCY, EISBRECHER, PROJECT PITCHFORK, CAMOUFLAGE and many other fine artists, we continue in the best Amphi Festival manner by adding 9 impressive acts for whom you just can´t afford to miss the Amphi Festival 2012!
*NEW BANDS ANNOUNCED FOR AMPHI FESTIVAL 2012:*
Ladies and gentlemen, raise the curtain for another headliner: *AND ONE* are back! With a new line-up and a massive amount of energy, creative-source Steve Naghavi calls the shots on the dancefloor! The „COVER FOR THE MASSES SPECIAL“ promises to become the biggest Amphi party of all times, just perfect to “DeMo”-lish the Tanzbrunnen altogether!
Further we have *COMBICHRIST, *throwing a barrage of Industrial and modern electrobeats into the scale, while *FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY* prefer to teach the sound of the old school, by which they recently caused the most beautiful EBM-pogo in years at the E-tropolis Festival in Berlin. In addition to that Thomas Rainer will send out his “Girls In Uniform”, joining the Amphi Festival 2012 with *NACHTMAHR*. And if you ask why, he would possibly answers: „Because I can!“.
Meanwhile Felix Flaucher & Frank Schwer, best known by the name of *18 SUMMERS,* joined the Amphi Festival with slightly more mellow offerings. Almost 10 years after „Virgin Mary“ (released in 2002) the Swabians celebrate their comeback with a new, highly anticipated album. Also aiming for the live-stage, they chose to play the Amphi Festival 2012. Additionally *ASSEMBLAGE 23*, the goth-rockers *LORD OF THE LOST* and *SCHÖNGEIST* signed up like *EISENFUNK*, whose YouTube video-hit „Pong“ has been watched over three million times by now and who turned out to be one of the shooting stars of our annual visitor poll!
