AMPHI FESTIVAL HELPS FLOOD VICTIMS IN GERMANY

On 20.06.2013 the auctions of various fence-banners ended, by which we raised funds for the organization „Aktion Deutschland hilft!“, helping flood-victims in Germany. All auctions raised fundings of 753,46 €.

In addition to the banner-auctions we instantly donated the complete turnover of the Amphi Festival pre-shirts to „Aktion Deutschland hilft!“ (www.aktion-deutschland-hilft.de) 10 days ago! Therefore we may announce a total donation of 1.503,46 €. Thanks to everybody who made this possible!

After a first wave of bands confirmed for Amphi Festival 2013 in less than one month from the actual 2012 event, including Fields of the NephilimAgonoize and Alien Sex Fiend just to entice buyers to stand in line for the opening of the commercial and internet ticket booths, today Amphi Festival officials announced new bands, thus making Amphi Festival a very desirable presence on the festival scene of next year.

Amphi Festival 2012: Viva Music Review, Jul-21&22, Cologne

Amphi Festival took over Cologne’s Tanzbrunnen for the 8th time! With a very clever choice of acts, and overall perfect organization, Amphi stated once more its position as one of the central events for the electro and industrial scenes. As it often happens, a sold-out event weeks before its start, Amphi Festival provided quality entertainment, very good facilities and considerable fuel for a crowd of almost two score of thousands. With early starts on both festival days, both on Saturday Jul-21 and Sunday Jul-22, the festival comforted the audience with a solid palette of both on the outdoor main stage and in the nearby Staatenhaus, as well as alternative entertainment in the Theater building. If you add to the set of concerts the wide array of stands, facilities, areas (including the famed beach zone), you could have practically spent a whole festival day just digging through bargains and taking your time in front of quite varied meals and still call it a full day. Or day and night! Because after countless concerts in the various venues of the area, DJ sets went on until the early hours of morn. But as a yearly convention of already sufficient stance, Amphi Festival meant, of course, a probe of temperature and color in today’s scene, and if audience reactions stand for anything, we’re all good, the entertainment is still varied, the ethos of the scene is still valid and vivid, people still feel the urge to dress up and make a stand, and the music sounds as good as ever.

 

Viva Music would like to take a minute to thank for the opportunity to be there and enjoy Amphi Festival 2012 to: the flawless clockwork organizing team, to the numberless artists and tech personnel who made concerts happen, and to the beating heart of the audience, which keeps our scene alive and kicking. And if you missed Amphi Festival this year, put these two things down on your to-do list: (1) read our act-by-act review and browse the individual photo galleries; (2) book in time your Amphi Festival 2013 experience: with tickets already on sale this coming week on Aug-01, and the first acts to be confirmed on Aug-13. Amphi Festival 2013 will take place on Jul-20 and Jul-21 in Tanzbrunnen Cologne. (more…)
