Band Of Horses

In the organizer's words:

Band of Horses on "Everything All The Time" anniversary tour this fall

Presented by VISIONS and DIFFUS

Right at the beginning of the noughties, there was something unsettling in the air. Between digital awakening and personal overload, a generation was looking for words for feelings that could hardly be put into words. Band of Horses found these words and translated them into music that reached far out and yet aimed inwards. Ben Bridwell's songs were about change, loss and trying to bring order to one's life. His high, headstrong voice floated over strumming guitars like a distant light, not showing the way, but giving hope. The debut "Everything All The Time" was released in 2006 on Sub Pop - the legendary Seattle label that reinvented itself after grunge and once again became the first port of call for independent music. In retrospect, it is hardly surprising that Jonathan Poneman immediately seized the opportunity. Even "The Funeral" unfolded a peculiar magic: a song about loss and acceptance that managed to be both intimate and universal at the same time. As an underground hit, commercial earworm and movie song, it grew into an emotional reference point and is still celebrated today as a silent manifesto on how to live with the inevitable. In the following years, the band refined their sound between indie rock, folk and southern influences, released six studio albums and even achieved a Grammy nomination with "Infinite Arms". Despite changing line-ups, Band of Horses has always remained Bridwell's core project: music full of longing, doubt and cautious confidence. The most recent work, "Things Are Great" (2022), returned to the early days with a rougher edge - less polished, closer to the open wound. However, these songs are particularly impressive live. On stage, they become collective moments, shared breaths between band and audience. Old hymns grow into epic arcs, quiet pieces transform halls into fleeting spaces of devotion. For Band of Horses, tours were never just compulsory dates, but continuations of their narrative: on the road, always further, always new. In 2026, this being on the road is given a special setting. "Everything All The Time" celebrates its birthday - twenty years after its release - and "The Funeral" is once again allowed to shine as the centerpiece. In fall 2026, Band of Horses will be coming to Germany for four concerts. These are evenings that promise to reconcile memory and the present.
