Dortmund unplugged

“Dortmund Unplugged” is a concert series held during the “Langer August” festival that showcases local artists. Every second Friday of the month, three acts each present a 30-minute set featuring acoustic instruments, original songs, and an intimate connection with the audience. “Dortmund Unplugged” promotes the diversity and creativity of Dortmund’s singer-songwriter scene. It creates a platform for local talent to showcase their work and build a close connection between artists and listeners. The series is hosted by Hans Blücher, Boris Gott, and a team from Nordmarkt Records and the Musiksyndikat Ruhr.

On July 10, 2026, Das große Los, Deezo, and Boomcoustix will perform.

In DAS GROßE LOS’s music, you can clearly hear a blend of influences from the Beatles and the Hamburg School. Their singing style leans more toward an international sound than a strictly German one—because it’s cool—and they do it in a fresh and independent way. This is a rare find; their music remains catchy and develops extraordinary energy when performed live.

DEEZO is a songwriter who combines profound thoughts with catchy melodies. He started out as a rapper using free beats until he taught himself to play guitar and keyboards so he could accompany his predominantly German lyrics on his own. Stylistically, he moves between hip-hop and reggae, focusing on an accessible, melodic sound.

BOOMCOUSTIX —the acoustic version of the reggae band “Boomtown Shakedown.” Stripped down to its fragile core, it always creates a fantastic vibe and ignites the fire in the audience’s hearts.
