Donots • 30 Jahre Tour

In the organizer's words:

Sometimes you have to listen very carefully to recognize what belongs together. Anyone listening to "Auf sie mit Gebrüll" by the Donots will notice that the repeated line "Jede Mauer hat 'ne Tür, wenn wir es nur woll'n" could also be a construction manual for the Porta Nigra. With this in mind, it is only logical that the Ibbenbüren rock band, which has been an integral part of stages across Germany for 30 years, will be performing in front of Trier's landmark on Saturday, June 21, at the ^Porta3 Open Air. The three acts for next year's Porta party in June have thus been confirmed just in time for the pre-Christmas anticipation.

Just as long in the business as Max Herre and Joy Denalane, just as popular in Japan as Álvaro Soler: with the Donots, the line-up for the tenth anniversary of ^Porta3 offers a remarkable synthesis of the arts. However, this is not only due to the similarities with the other acts, but also to the differences: After R'nB/hip hop/soul and pop, honest punk/alternative rock is now coming to the heart of the city. There are probably several reasons why the Donots want to come to Trier: Their "30 Years Tour" fits perfectly with the ^Porta3 festival's birthday, their celebration philosophy exactly matches its characteristics: no "higher, faster, further", but maximum party with maximum stage proximity. The Porta Open Air has made a name for itself precisely for this, as the grandiose transparent stage offers the best and closest visual contact with the enthusiastically filled but never unpleasantly overcrowded Porta Nigra forecourt.

Just the right thing for the Donots, who deliberately decided to get closer to the fans for their birthday party after their tours and halls had become bigger and bigger in recent years and almost all of their concerts were completely sold out. Partly responsible for this: their 12th studio album "Heut ist ein guter Tag", which was the first to reach number 1 in the German album charts in 2023. The five rock musicians will not only have its songs with them in front of the Porta, but also real hits such as "Whatever Happened to the 80s", "Calling" and "Stop the clocks". Oh yes, and of course a very special guest who is sure to bring a tear or two of joy to the faces of rock fans. Who that is is yet to be revealed. But the Donots can already guarantee it: Anything other than incredulous enthusiasm is hardly imaginable. And this means that "Auf sie mit Gebrüll" should be a real recommendation for action: get your tickets, secure them and join the Donots in slamming "Das wird alles einmal uns gehören" in front of the Sandsteinlatz. She will be looking forward to this appropriation on the evening of June 21.
