Amphi Festival 2013 news!

It is our pleasure to present the first bands to play Amphi Festival in 2013! We have just received the press release from the Amphi team, and are extremely pleased to share the great news with you! If you would like to (re)live a few amazing moments and experience the atmosphere (again), here are our reviews with photos of Amphi Festival: Amphi 2010 (Day 1), Amphi 2010 (Day 2), Amphi 2011 and Amphi 2012.

Here is the press release:

IX. AMPHI FESTIVAL – OPEN AIR 2013

Dear Amphi Fans,

the 8th Amphi Festival 2012 – „The Orkus Open Air“ is over and what a gorgeous festival it was! On 21. & 22. July Germany´s most iconic Gothic cathedral – the Cologne Cathedral – peered yearning glimpses to the other side of the Rhine, in painful desire to join the dance, when once again, over 16.000 attendants from all over the world began to celebrate their subculture under perfect festival conditions.

On behalf of the entire Amphi Team, we want to submit our sincerest thanks to all attendants for a gigantic AMPHI FESTIVAL 2012. You are AMPHI! Also we want to thank all bands, DJs, readers, traders, helpers, media partners and sponsors, our phenomenal crew, everybody from Tanzbrunnen Cologne, our club-partners, our street-team and everybody else involved in this exciting event.

After this incredible weekend awareness feels tough, that we have to wait for another year to finally meet each other again. Yet there´s one thing you can count on: the Amphi Festival returns in 2013 and it will be awesome!

FINAL RESULT OF BENEFICIAL AUCTIONS

Before the Amphi Festival 2012 we auctioned various site-fence banners for a good cause on Ebay. These auctions generated an amount of 637,90 €. After the Festival we added another special site-fence banner with signatures of various artists, which generated 174,10 €. Together with the donations made at the box office and the service point during the festival, we collected a total amount of 933,65 €, which we are pleased to round up to a sum of 1000,00 €!

Within the next couple of days we are going to hand over 500,00 € each (!) to the “society for the prevention of cruelty to children” in Garbsen ( http://www.kinderschutzbund-garbsen.de ) and to the “animal home Hanover” ( http://www.tierheim-hannover.de ). Thanks to everybody who contributed to this donation!

Best regards,

Your Amphi Festival Team

Again we even have another seven bands to announce, offering a wide range from dark industrial beats to a heavy load of mediaeval rock, enriching the diversity of the programme.

Today we start with a band that ranked very high on your wishlists: [X]-Rx ! The  industrial-rave gods from Cologne are burning to unleash their electronic behemoth in front of their home crowd and we are extremely happy to present this special highlight on the Amphi Festival 2011.
