Rockhouse: “Exciting, successful, exhausting”

At the limits of what is possible, the Rockhouse is not letting up on the program. The local music scene will continue to play a major role in 2025. And many a hot international tip will not be missing.

A whopping 300 concerts, 41,000 visitors, 30 completely sold-out shows from the Rockhouse manufactory: the music catacombs in Schallmoos continued to shake in the 31st year of its existence. On top of that, there were talks and workshops on all aspects of the music business. How do you sum up 2024 with this mammoth program?

Rockhouse boss and veteran Wolfgang Descho says: "Exciting, successful, exhausting." Despite all the professionalism, the small team has reached the limits of what is possible. However, the Rockhouse remains true to its 2025 line.

Next round in the "Eleven Empire" 
There is no shortage of international events in 2025, for which the "Eleven Empire" series is now notorious. According to project manager Sebastian König, DeafDeafDeaf (22.4.) is one to remember.

The guys from Manchester are set to become the new export hit of the new wave scene. Allegedly, they are already playing on the heels of Joy Division and New Order. Equally up-and-coming: Die Nerven (1.4.), Germany's biggest trump card as a new cult band in the footsteps of Tocotronic.

When blues and soul lovers hear names like Ellis Mano Band (3.3.), Henrik Freischlader (7.4.), Miller Anderson (21.4.) or Colosseum (28.4.), it becomes clear why the "Blue Monday" sessions on Monday evenings are always better attended; younger audiences - much to the delight of the Rockhouse team - included.
