Fischer-Z

This concert is rescheduled, this is the new date. Your tickets remain valid.

The emergence of punk in the 1970s was a big bang caused by intelligent eccentrics. Most of these groundbreaking punks have now given up, but not John Watts, heart and soul of Fischer-Z. He remains outspoken, socially critical and provocative. Watts thinks you're as good as your last achievement, he wants to keep moving and growing.

Fischer-Z is an art-rock/new wave band that is known for sharp but also poetic lyrics. In total, the band's 42-year career includes 20 albums, more than 3,000 concerts worldwide and more than two million albums sold. Their 1979 debut album "Word Salad" is a cult classic. The album "Going Deaf For a Living" contains the hit single "So Long" whose video clip was shown frequently on MTV. And the most famous album "Red Skies Over Paradise" (1981) is crammed with classics such as "Marliese". Soon after, Fischer-Z broke up after the band was featured/performed at Pinkpop. After a number of solo projects, Watts breathes new life into Fischer-Z in 1987 with new musicians and with the same passion, they produce adventurous and critically acclaimed albums. Fischer-Z still stands for a wide range of rock, whereas punk and new wave influences are clearly present. John Watts and co still dare to be provocative and contrarian!
