Amphi Festival 2011 – The Orkus Open Air

-Press release-

Dear Amphi Fans,

a big chunk of the Amphi Festival 2011 programme has already been confirmed. Yet there is still lots of powder in the gun for exciting announcements. Since the last update we´ve already gathered two more top-acts to join the line-up and also the festival organisation department has some important news to share…:

New bands confirmed: Nitzer Ebb & Covenant

Ladies & gentlemen, the waiting is over! The godfathers of industrial, NITZER EBB, are coming to Cologne! In the luggage: brilliant fireworks of timeless classic tunes  and their formidable comeback album „Industrial Complex“, by which Bon Harris and Douglas McCarthy had proven not to grow older but simply better and better!

Elegance and style, paired up with the distinctive voice of Eskil Simonsson, are the trademarks of the swedish electro stars COVENANT. The men in suits are moving fans worldwide with their driving beats and innovative sound, transforming the coldest floor into a boiling dance extravaganza in no time.

Booking start: official Amphi Camp @ Jugendpark Cologne

Festival and camping…for most festival fans these two got together like horse and carriage. The community, the sociability and spending the nights in the nature are creating the true festival spirit! Thus we are very pleased to announce the renewal of the official Amphi Camp at the Jugendpark Cologne for 2011.

From Friday 15.07.2011 16:00 o’clock till Monday 18.07.2011 10:00 o’clock all Amphi Festival visitors, owning a camping ticket, have the opportunity to spend the night at the beautiful Jugendpark Cologne. Beside the camping area itself, the Jugendpark offers a service facility, accessible 24 hours a day, providing showers, clean water toilets and washing opportunities. Also you can buy additional food and beverages on the present catering stands.

Camping tickets are now exclusively available in the Amphi Ticketshop at www.amphi-festival.de/tickets for 18,00 € plus charges.

Please note: camping tickets are valid per person and only for the official camp at the Jugendpark Cologne, Sachsenbergstraße, 51063 Köln. For environmental reasons motorvehicles of any kind must not be taken to the camping ground!
