Live on Stage
Two live acts. One electronic night. Followed by Depeche Mode, synthpop, EBM, new wave and dark electro until the early hours.
Vasi Vallis and Felix Marc stand for high-energy futurepop with an attitude – danceable and with depth. Scene anthems like “Tanz die Revolution”, chart placings in the DAC and GEWC and shows at M’era Luna, Amphi and WGT make Frozen Plasma one of the defining acts of the scene.
Electropop from Gothenburg: anthemic choruses, driving beats and the Scandinavian synthpop tradition. With albums like “Manifest” and “Spectrum” and club hits like “Save Me” and “Ragnarök”, Vanguard are among the most thrilling live acts of the electro scene.
DJ
For all devotees: after the concerts, the hall is yours. plays the big anthems, album gems and fan favourites by Depeche Mode – to sing along, to dance and for the wheat field during “Never Let Me Down Again”. Plus synthpop, futurepop, EBM, new wave and dark electro. Open end.
A premiere in Gotha
For the first time, the Stadthalle Gotha hosts a big Depeche Mode party. Instead of a cramped club basement, you get a real concert hall: plenty of room to dance, a big stage and an atmosphere that feels like a stadium show – only closer.
Gotha has never seen a Depeche Mode party of this size. Strike I is the beginning – and you are part of it from day one.
Light, sound and haze in a big hall: when hundreds of arms go up for “Never Let Me Down Again”, the party turns into a goosebumps moment.
Massive LED walls bathe the stage and the hall in images and visuals – during the live shows of Frozen Plasma and Vanguard and all night long at the party.
