SYSTEM OF A STU is Germany's top SOAD tribute band, and has been since its founding in 2019. This is how the band ironically describes itself, as there simply isn't a second SYSTEM OF A DOWN tribute band in Germany. A statement that could have basically come from the original, as System is definitely a self-ironic band, and the fans appreciate that.

SYSTEM OF A STU plays across the SOAD albums with the same high emotion as the original. The music goes straight to the legs and under the skin. SOAS performs just as powerfully on stage, and the band fully utilizes that.

System created a completely unique genre with distinctive recognition value. This package is delivered live by SYSTEM OF A STU with full dedication, and the fans love it.
You can clearly tell that the guys from SOAS have known each other for years and have been playing together as a hard rock cover band ROCK STU for just as long, evident in their seasoned interplay on stage.

The shared admiration for SOAD has now brought the musicians onto the path of the Californian alternative metal band, with the fans' support being better than it could have ever been.

BLACK SABBITCH - TOUR 2026

Los Angeles BLACK SABBITCH — the all-female powerhouse hailed as the most popular Black Sabbath tribute band in the world — has officially signed with heavyweight label Ripple Music. The band is set to release their highly anticipated live album “Unrest in the West” later this year to a global audience.

Formed in 2012 by acclaimed session drummer Angie Scarpa, Black Sabbitch quickly became a force to be reckoned with, recruiting an all-star lineup of musicians including Emily Burton (Fireball Ministry), Melanie Makaiwi (Penny Dreadfuls, Scarling), and Alice Austin (Zola Turn). Over the past decade, the band has captivated audiences worldwide, selling out shows and earning the respect of critics, fans, and fellow musicians alike.

Black Sabbitch has transcended the typical “tribute band” label, delivering electrifying performances that honor the spirit of Black Sabbath while adding their own unique energy and intensity. Their talent and dedication have earned them coveted spots at major festivals and events, including the inaugural Ozzfiesta at the personal invitation of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, performing at Cal Jam with Foo Fighters, and playing to a crowd of 80,000 at Wacken Open Air in Germany.

The band has also headlined Psycho Las Vegas and The Maryland Doom Fest, performed on The Kiss Kruise at the request of Paul Stanley, and collaborated with artists like Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Shepard Fairey, and Peaches. Critics have praised Black Sabbitch for their ability to capture the potency and swing of the original Sabbath catalog, with publications like LA Weekly, Times Union, and San Diego Reader calling their performances “captivating,” “undeniable,” and “spellbinding.”

With their forthcoming live album “Unrest in the West”, Black Sabbitch is poised to bring their stunning live experience to fans around the globe. Featuring deep cuts like “A National Acrobat” and “Wheels of Confusion”, this is a must-have collection for Sabbath worshipers everywhere.

SAD plays METALLICA - Metallica Tribute

Since 2004, the band has been performing on the most important stages in Europe, bringing the incomparable sound of the legendary four in a magnificent, absolutely brilliant stage show to the audience.

Officially recognized by the Metallica Fan Club in Italy, and interconnected worldwide, the band tours across the continent, has a strong presence on Spotify and YouTube, and has already played over 1,000 live shows.

Since the 80s, one of the most legendary metal bands on the planet has been showing its fans the way "Straight to hell and boooooaaaaaaaaack": Metallica. Over 110 million albums of the dark heroes have already flown off the shelves. Once bought, with deep growls, high screams, fantastic riffs, and pulsating drums, they made the walls of (youth) rooms shake. But even beyond the hardcore "metalheads" community, the guys led by frontman James Hetfield, with softer tones and ballads like "Nothing Else Matters," made their way into the music shelves. Metallica: A spectacular experience - not only with the original. The Italian band "SAD" is considered one of the hottest Metallica tribute acts these days. In 2007, SAD was named the best Metallica tribute band by "ZONAMETALLICA," the official Italian Metallica Fan Club. In 2008, recognized and authorized by "METCLUB," Metallica's U.S. Fan Club, the southerners bring enough inspirational tracks like "Enter Sandman," "Master of Puppets," and more to send their audience dancing, growling, and headbanging into Metallica hell. Worth the post-concert growling.

Nu Metal Night - A Tribute to Rage against the machine, Korn & Limp Bizkit

Loud, raw, and uncompromising!
Three bands, three legends, one unforgettable evening: At the Nu Metal Night, Fistful of Rage, Freaks Off The Leash, and Pimp Blitzkid bring back the stage energy of Rage Against the Machine, Korn, and Limp Bizkit!
Get ready for brutal riffs, thumping bass, and pure nostalgia – a must for all fans of the golden era of Nu Metal.

Fistful of Rage:
Rage against the machine strikes like a bomb with their unique sound, a crossover of rock, metal, funk, and rap.
With their political lyrics, they hit the nerve of the times more than ever...
Fistful of Rage formed in 2008 from singer Denis Zimmermann, guitarist Bora Karakus, bassist Sebastian Sommer, and drummer Timo Greiner in Pirmasens, to celebrate this sound with you and to scream the message of Rage against the machine into the world.

Freaks off the Leash:
Freaks Off The Leash – these are five passionate musicians from the Wiesbaden/Frankfurt area, united by a common mission: to bring back the raw energy and unmistakable sound of the “Early 2000s” KoRn era to the stage.
With power-packed riffs, drop-tuned guitars, and a brutal wall of bass that reaches from the toes deep into the gut, they bring the Nu-Metal legends back to the here and now. The live set consists of the most iconic tracks from KoRn – including of course anthems and best-of hits like “Freak on a Leash,” “Did My Time,” “Blind,” and many more.

Pimp Blitzkid:
From AC/DC to Metallica to ZZ Top... there is a matching band for almost every cult band that honors their idols in the form of tribute shows.
In the case of Pimp Blitzkid, these idols are none other than the American superstars Limp Bizkit!
The five musicians from Kirnsonville (Limp Bizkit fans understand the meaning of this variation of the town name "Kirn”) formed as a tribute band in July 2013 and have since covered the band led by frontman Fred Durst in all aspects.
This makes them the first and currently only of their kind in Germany.
Songs from all albums of the successful band, which has been around for 20 years now, are part of the Pimp Blitzkid repertoire and are presented in a live show with all the typical elements of "Limp Bizkit Style" and a lot of attention to detail.
Like the original, the quintet knows how to connect mainstream audiences and hardcore rock fans with international hits like "Rollin'," "Break Stuff," "Behind Blue Eyes," "Take A Look Around," or "My Way" into a celebrating unity.

Donots & Sondaschule

On June 21, 2026, two absolute giants of the German punk and ska scene will come together – and perform together on stage at the Kulturfabrik Cortendorf. Donots & Sondaschule – this means maximum energy, unwavering attitude, and songs that go directly to the heart (and the legs).

Donots

The Donots from Ibbenbüren have stood for uncompromising punk rock for over 30 years – with passion and conviction. You can never get enough of them, as the band is famous for simply never standing still – whether in the studio, on stage, or in the fight against right-wing extremism. Their shows are akin to a collective adrenaline rush: loud, honest, sweat-inducing, and full of euphoria. Those who experience them live know: There are no half measures here. More punk rock just can't fit on one stage!

Sondaschule

Three years after their acclaimed album "Unbesiegbar," SONDASCHULE is back with a new record. After hitting number 2 on the album charts, completing three consecutive sold-out tours through the largest clubs in the republic, Austria, and Switzerland, as well as prominent positions at the biggest festivals in the country, one could say that the six musicians from the Ruhr area have achieved what they have always dreamed of. However, their triumphant march was overshadowed in 2021 by a heavy loss: Shortly before the release of "Unbesiegbar," founding member and guitarist Daniel "Blubbi" Junker unexpectedly passed away. A turning point that shook the band but also shaped them.

With "WIR BLEIBEN WACH," SONDASCHULE are back – newly formed, strengthened, and with boundless energy. This album is more than just the next step in their success story. It is a statement, a feeling, a promise straight from the heart. A musical masterpiece that unites euphoria and pain alike, goes deep, and yet brims with positive energy. Produced by Vincent Sorg (Die Toten Hosen, Broilers, Donots), it features 12 songs full of courage, full of life – and without a second of doubt about ever giving up. SONDASCHULE remain awake – and make no doubt that their journey is far from over – you can see for yourself in 2026 at the Kulturfabrik in Cortendorf.

MTW - Die Songs von STS

The Austrian pop-rock formation S.T.S. filled large halls in the German-speaking region with their passionate live performances until just a few years ago. Steinbäcker, Timischl, and Schiffkowitz were the three who delighted fans with handmade folk songs from 1978 to 2012. Most of them were written by themselves, while some were originally by artists like Neil Young, Crosby Stills & Nash, the Byrds, Bob Dylan, or the Beatles. These songs are strong because they succeeded in crafting lyrics that remain close to the original while sounding particularly good in the Styrian dialect.
MTW now brings the original sound of this successful group convincingly close to the original as one of the most authentic STS tribute bands. Live and handcrafted, the six musicians bring the songs and the typical sound of STS.
The three singers and guitarists Oliver Langer, who replaced the founding “M” of MTW in 2023, along with Tom Schrollinger and Werner Völkel share the passion and enthusiasm for the entertaining yet profound repertoire of STS.

After the three Styrians Steinbäcker, Timischl, and Schiffkowitz stopped their joint performances following their farewell tour in 2012, MTW believes: This wonderful music deserves to be experienced live.

Together with keyboardist Roland Rettenbacher, bassist Mike Fix, and drummer Steve Bauer, they form a six-member resonance body that brings the true STS sound to life in all its fullness and diversity. On March 16, 2013, MTW gave their first concert in Nuremberg. Since then, the audience numbers have continuously increased from performance to performance. Even at the most recent concerts with up to 1300 guests, it was evident that there are still many STS fans. Nearly all MTW concerts are sold out a few days in advance! There are always wonderfully beautiful evenings with a fantastic audience. (See press reports in the attachment).

Beyond the classics "Fürstenfeld," "Großvater," or "Da kummt die Sunn," MTW surprisingly brings many of the socially critical songs like "Kalt und kälter," "Heavy Metal Fan," or "Ende nie" very close to the original. The six musicians with their characteristic three-part harmony and varied interpretations from soft ballads to heavier numbers offer a musical journey through the great diversity of STS successes. In short: Pure Austropop in the typical STS sound from the Noris!

MTW – You know what you have: STS!

Against the Machine - Rage Against The Machine - Tribute

When the first self-titled album by Rage Against the Machine was released in 1992, the five Swiss guys from AGAINST THE MACHINE were still teenagers and left a deep impact on their musical souls. The energy, the attitude, the sound, and the synergy of rock and rap vocals has always fascinated the musicians of this quintet. In order to do justice to the original recordings, the five musicians decided that one guitarist cannot cover the sound of Tom Morello, so they perform on stage with two guitarists. This enables them to excellently reproduce the guitar walls of the albums in meticulous detail. All the hammer songs like "Bullet in the Head," "Wake Up," "Bombtrack," and of course "Killing in the Name" are brutally blasted into the audience's ears. Just as uncompromising as the original and with a lot of love for RATM. Don't miss it!

SAN DALEN – The Ultimate Van Halen Tribute

High Kicks, High Power & High Class Rock’n’Roll – San Dalen is not an ordinary tribute band. They bring back the unbridled zest for life of the late 70s, 80s, and early 90s to the stage – from a time when guitars screamed, singers soared, and fans went wild.

Rock fans who experienced this era know: Rock’n’Roll is not a trend, but a way of life. And San Dalen deliver exactly that feeling – uncompromising, authentic, and with full energy.

With passion, joy of playing, and a wink, the band ignites a musical fireworks display that you can not only hear but also feel. Whether it's David Lee Roth's explosive show moments or Sammy Hagar's stadium-ready punch – San Dalen unite the strongest Van Halen eras in a show that comes astonishingly close to the original.

It is this raw, vibrant energy, this controlled chaos, that once made Van Halen a legend – and that San Dalen reclaim on stage with impressive precision and dedication.

Van Halen up close? Hell yeah!

Slayer Coverband

"SLAYYYYEEEEEEEEER!!!"
SCB – A brief history of evil
Formed in 1999 SLAYER COVER BAND (SCB) saw the light of day when a local
pubowner asked Jos (ex-Acrostichon, ex-Outburst, ex-Crustacean, Antropomorphia)
and Michel (Crustacean, Travoltas) if they could do a cover set….Well of course they
replied! But it will be SLAYER and SLAYER alone! The asked Serge (ex-Acrostichon,
ex-Outburst, Milkman) to take seat on the drumstool and Tom (Crustacean) to live
up to his first name. Don’t bother with a fancy name… everyone wants SLAYER!!!
The night was a devastating success! An extra €100 was paid for one extra
performance of Angel of Death. After that SCB switched drummers (Serge left to
focus on Milkman) And Joris (Crustacean, Bruut) joined. After that they went on a
sort of a rampage playing monthly throughout the Netherlands, Belgium and
Germany. No bull, no flashy stuff, just energetic renditions of SLAYER songs of
yore! After roughly 15 years in their current line-up they called it quits halfway
through 2014.
But early 2018 SCB came alive once more; live undead again they are prepared for
war once more! 2022 was the year Michel quits and was replaced by Albert
(Crustacean, Bruut, ex The Covering) on the guitars, so the story continues. There’s
no knowing when these guys may stop!
Ever!

Brothers In Arms - A Tribute To Dire Straits

Brothers in Arms not only know this song, but also the many other world hits of the great band around Mark Knopfler. Concert fans regret, however, that this band has not been experienced live for a long time.

Over 40 years of Dire Straits and a stage abstinence of around 30 years prompted the musical brothers-in-arms to have a kind of renaissance. It was therefore obvious that a handful of selected musicians came together for the formation “Brothers in Arms,” founded in 2002, who not only understand how to reproduce the hits but also the spirit and atmosphere of Dire Straits live. For now 19 years, “Brothers in Arms” have been among the most successful tribute bands in the country, with a fan base that grows year by year and extends far beyond the borders of Germany.

STAHLZEIT - TOUR 2027

RAMMSTEIN has created a globally unique genre with brutal sound, rough attitude, and the play with fire. Their shows are explosive productions and magnificent overall experiences.
One may very well ask whether such a gigantic concept can also be implemented beyond the stadiums without it turning into a small-scale RAMMSTEIN imitation. The answer is: STAHLZEIT can do it!
STAHLZEIT pays tribute to the originals with a gigantic new show and bows before the masterpiece that is RAMMSTEIN. STAHLZEIT is rightly regarded as the number 1 among tribute shows.
With enormous effort, STAHLZEIT has been creating shows of superlatives for over 20 years. A team of around 30 people travels through Europe with 2 night liners and several trucks.
STAHLZEIT lives and breathes in sync with the rhythmic brutal heartbeat of music. The unquenchable desire to create new dimensions on stage flows through its veins, flirting with the limits of the conceivable.
The pyro show is implemented so uncompromisingly and spectacularly that one can feel the heat of STAHLZEIT even in the most distant seats. Sweat, fire, and this unique energy rush through the audience during the approximately two-and-a-half-hour show.
Nowhere else can the spirit of RAMMSTEIN be experienced so closely.
Long-time fans can look forward to a consistent further development of the show, while new viewers will be swept away by a tremendous concert experience. STAHLZEIT must be felt, smelled, and heard.
The most spectacular RAMMSTEIN tribute show fills the large halls. The Jahrhunderthalle Frankfurt, Philharmonie Stuttgart, Circus Krone München, Wunderino Arena Kiel, Columbiahalle Berlin, and many other locations will be overwhelmed with applause.
STAHLZEIT. When heat, sound, and emotions merge into a colossal unity.

SYSTEM OF A DOWN by SYSTEM OF A STU

SYSTEM OF A STU is Germany's top SOAD tribute band, and has been since its founding in 2019. This is how the band ironically describes itself, as there simply isn't another SYSTEM OF A DOWN tribute band in Germany. A statement that could well have come from the original, as System is undoubtedly a self-ironic band, and the fans love that.

SYSTEM OF A STU plays through the SOAD albums with the same high emotion as the original. The music goes straight to the legs and under the skin. Just as powerfully, SOAS performs on stage, and the band fully leverages that.

System shaped a unique genre with distinctive recognition value. SYSTEM OF A STU transports this package live with full dedication, and the fans love it. You can clearly see that the guys in SOAS have known each other for years and have been playing together as the hard rock cover band ROCK STU for just as long, evident in their seasoned interplay on stage.

The shared admiration for SOAD led the musicians to the path of the Californian alternative metal band, with the support of fans being nothing short of amazing.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE by RAGETRACK

Ragetrack - Sound of the Revolution
The intoxicating sound of the revolution will make the Pitcher tremble again on September 7, 2024, in Düsseldorf when Ragetrack takes the stage.
The place where Hannes, Sven, Bonny, and Luca will grab their instruments and perform the songs of "rage against the machine" with an intensity that will awaken even the spirits of Woodstock.
Even the opening song of a Ragetrack concert leaves no doubt that this will not be an ordinary concert.
The sound that awaits you there will be extraordinary, as if the gods of rock themselves had intervened to ensure that every note is perfectly mixed.
Sven's guitar riffs hit like gunfire piercing the air, sending the crowd into a wild frenzy. Bonny's bass will make your hearts jump in rhythm with its deep groove.
Hannes' voice is like an echo from the depths of oppression, rising against injustice, and every single hit on Luca's drums is like a blow against the system, a call to resistance.
The band members of "Ragetrack" know how to capture the essence of "rage against the machine" and deliver it on stage. They are not just a mere copy, but a manifestation of the rebellious spirit that the original band once embodied. Every strum on the guitar, every hit on the drums is a tribute to the masters of protest.
"Ragetrack" from Engelskirchen proves that they are not just a tribute band, but a band that keeps the spirit of "rage against the machine" alive. They shake every venue to its foundations and inundate the audience with a wave of energy that will resonate long after.
Amidst this musical uprising, one feels like part of a movement rising against injustice and oppression. The concert by "Ragetrack" will always be a testament that the revolution lives on in the hearts of the people and that music is the most powerful weapon to bring about change.
In a world threatened by conformity and stagnation, bands like "Ragetrack" are needed to keep the flame of protest burning. "Ragetrack" unites the crowd with their music, and it will be a concert that will free your soul and spirit.
