Party power with Stereoact & Lena Marie Engel (Support: DJ Addic)

The successful duo Stereoact placed two longplayers in the top 10 of the German album charts within ten months in 2021. In March, "#Schlager" entered at number 6 and became the second most successful streaming hit album with 45 million streams over the course of the year. Only Helene Fischer was able to snatch the top position from the DJ and producer duo.

Ten months later, the new album "100 % Stereoact" made it to number 8, proving that you can not only celebrate success with cover songs and remixes, but also (once again) with self-written and produced tracks. "100 % Stereoact" is full to the brim with potential hits between deep house and electrified pop and pop tunes. Singing guests this time are 90s superstar Jasmin Wagner aka Blümchen as well as Stereoact's Buddy Chris Cronauer and Swedish singer Julia Lindholm.

Lena Marie Engel interprets no less than four titles; as with Kerstin Ott, the duo proves to have a sure hand and once again focuses on promoting talent. Ric can be heard as a singer for the first time on the track "Wunderlampe" - that's almost 101% Stereoact!

The Stereoact account has so far recorded over 350 million streams and more than two million records sold. They have also won a dozen gold and platinum awards and a diamond award.

DJ Addic from Wemding - our local hero - provides the perfect warm-up for the evening with Stereoact & Lena Marie Engel.

As an experienced DJ, he knows exactly how to fill the dance floor right from the start and set the mood. Anyone who has heard him before knows that standing still is not an option here - DJ Addic guarantees escalation on the dance floor. From 7 p.m. he turns up the heat and provides you with fat beats that go straight to your legs.
