In the artist's words:

Anyone who has seen LEONIDEN live even once will remember them for a long time to come: surreally happy faces on and in front of the stage, broad sound backdrops, solidarity circle pits, somersaulting beats, experimental synth contortions and circulating guitars. These special live moments have been at the heart of the band's DNA from the very beginning and have made LEONIDEN better, louder and better known from festival summer to festival summer.

Their new album "Sophisticated Sad Songs" was released at the end of August 2024, with which the quintet embarked on a European tour of the same name last fall. But standing still is not in the band's DNA either, which is why they will continue in February 2025! Tickets for the "SOPHISTICATED SAD SONGS - TOUR 2025" are available exclusively at www.leoniden.shop.

With their new album, LEONIDEN transform collective discomfort into collective happiness in seconds - the Leonid paradox. The songs of the Kiel-based five-piece around

Lennart and Felix Eicke, Jakob Amr, Marike Winkelmann and Djamin Izadi always seem to be shrouded in a veil of euphoria, are danceable to the max and predestined for the biggest possible stages. In direct contrast, the same pieces almost always convey melancholy, world-wearied thoughts on a lyrical level, just waiting to be drowned in a collective dance frenzy. All of this can also be experienced in the summer, when LEONIDEN will once again climb across various festival stages and get hundreds of people entangled in a mosh pit.
