In the organizer's words:

GROOVE CITY FEST 2026
THE OFFLINE + THEODOR + SUN ATLAS + GROOVE CITY DJ CREW
21.02.26 | 20:00 | Knust

Together with Groove City, we have built so many musical bridges in recent years that their bar feels like an extension of ours. We want to celebrate this with you again next year, on 21.02.26 with this fantastic line-up:

THE OFFLINE
The successful Hamburg composer and producer THE OFFLINE (AKA Felix Müller) is releasing 'Les Cigales' - the follow-up to his acclaimed debut album 'La couleur de la mer' from 2023.
THE OFFLINE was created when Felix traveled the Atlantic coast in the south of France with his analog camera and captured the beach life on film. After returning to his hometown, he began writing songs that would form the sonic counterpart to the analog images.
Now THE OFFLINE is coming to the GROOVE CITY FEST at the Knust for their live debut with a 6-piece band. We are really excited!

THEODOR:
Since their Knust debut earlier this year, THEODOR have long since ceased to be an insider tip among lovers of sweet soul. The band's unique psychedelic approach to the genre has garnered international attention from vinyl influencers like Somewhere Soul, tastemaking radio stations like KEXP and leading record stores from Tokyo to San Francisco.
We are big fans and are looking forward to another psychedelic journey with the four likeable guys from Darmstadt at the Knust.

SUN ATLAS:
The sound of SUN ATLAS is mystical and cosmopolitan, combining afrobeat, cinematic soul, spiritual & ethio jazz with space sounds, hiphop breaks and a garage funk vibe.
Their cryptic first 45 single "The Mystic Parade" b/w "Grand Theft" sold out immediately upon release and was often mistaken for either "lost" hiphop samples, 70s habibi funk or another disguised project from the inner circles of the Mocambo, Big Crown or Daptone families (which it isn't).
Space is the place or just the Knust when SUN ATLAS take to the stage at GROOVE CITY FEST.
