GONG WAH + KID DAD LIVE @ DEUTSCHES HAUS "TENNE" MARSBERG

*tickets at box office only*

GONG WAH is a german band from Cologne (Köln). They describe their music style as fuzzwave: a wild mix of distorted guitars, 80s new wave, shoegaze and a pinch of synth pop. In combination with the unmistakable voice of singer Inga Nelke, this creates the typical GONG WAH sound, which unfolds in their rousing, varied 3 minute hits. From dark wave and psychedelic rock to poppy, melancholic or even grunge-inspired moods, GONG WAH offers an energetic spectrum of alternative rock and indie rock and yet always sound uncompromisingly like themselves.

After their self-titled debut GONG WAH (2020) and the follow-up "A SECOND" (2022), GONG WAH's third album "THE HEALING VOLUME" (2025) is out now on Tonzonen Records / Cargo Records Germany and available on vinyl (LP), Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud, Deezer, Amazon Music and more. Whether you're looking for the best new music, a viral music video or a trending alternative rock band, GONG WAH delivers. Songs like "Smile", "Emily", "This Life", "Sugar & Lies", "Let's Get Lost" and "Heartache Jean" capture a raw yet emotional energy that blends fuzz, melody and lyrical depth.

Their sound fits perfectly on any playlist spanning indie, rock, pop music, and metal-tinged influences. As experienced musicians and songwriters, GONG WAH takes the live stage by storm, with powerful concert performances and vibrant tour energy. Fans of creative, nostalgic and emotional soundscapes will appreciate their unique place in today's music scene. Their discography keeps growing and with Inga Nelke, Thorsten Dohle, Felix Will, Wolly Düse and Ingo Ruttke at the helm, their momentum is unstoppable.

GONG WAH - from Cologne describe their style as "fuzzwave", a wild mix of distorted guitars, 80 ́s new wave and a pinch of synth-pop. In combination with the unmistakable voice of singer Inga Nelke, this creates the typical GONG WAH sound, which unfolds in their rousing, varied three-and-a-half-minute bangers.

From dark and psychedelic to poppy and melancholic, GONG WAH offer an energetic spectrum and yet always sound uncompromisingly like themselves. After the self-titled debut (2020) and the successor "A SECOND" (2022), GONG WAH ́s third album "THE HEALING VOLUME" will be released on Tonzonen Records / Cargo on April 11, 2025.

With the new album and as a quintet, Inga Nelke (vocals), Thorsten Dohle (guitar/synth/vocals), Felix Will (guitar/synth/vocals), Wolly Düse (drums) and Ingo Ruttke (bass), GONG WAH will conquer the stages in 2025 and will certainly also inspire at "Live in der Tenne" in Marsberg, so that the legs and hips get moving.

KID DAD - Founded as a quartet in Paderborn in 2017, KID DAD have already won over audiences in the following years, including as support for German greats such as Beatsteaks and international bands such as Taking Back Sunday. As up-and-coming newcomers, KID DAD played a remarkable and complete concert at Rockpalast OFFSTAGE on August 25, 2020 (Corona-Lockdown) at Zeche Zollverein, Essen.

The indie rock band can look back on three successful releases that have attracted attention not only in Germany but also internationally. Tours with acts such as Fatherson, Razz and Taking Back Sunday, as well as appearances at festivals such as Fusion and Rocken am Brocken, have established KID DAD as an integral part of the alternative music scene.

KID DAD are currently opening a new chapter in 2025. With a fresh sound, new look and unbroken determination, KID DAD are back as a trio. Maximilian Z. (bass/backing vocals), Michael R. (drums) and Benedikt B. (vocals/guitar) return to their DIY roots and present a renewed sound that combines indie, rock and alternative in a new way. The focus is on catchy melodies, extravagant timbres and rhythmic emphasis, rousing and danceable.
