Guano Apes

In the organizer's words:

In times of artificial intelligence, the GUANO APES demand the analog: on January 17, 2026*, the Göttingen-based band want to free the inner monkey at Stuttgart's Im Wizemann.

The GUANO AP ES have become really relaxed: Instead of submitting to the mechanisms of the market, the band from Göttingen has detached itself from it. Instead of producing new records every six months, they prefer to go on stage when the monkey itches again. But that's the end of the relaxation: anyone who was on the first post-pandemic tour or experienced one of the powerful concerts at the big festivals knows that. From the first bars of the programmatic opener "You Can't Stop Me" through all the hits to the final crashing chord of the encore "Lords of the Boards", the GUANO APES let the wild animal run wild and rocked their audience.

Incidentally, this can also be described as groundbreaking: While the world is becoming more and more digital, the GUANO APES are going into opposition and demanding the analog. Or as they put it themselves: "We are closer to monkeys than to AI. And there is a primal force inherent in humans, the old-world monkeys: the urge for freedom. We have been supporting this tonally, together with our audience, for around three decades. In the midst of the AI turnaround and digital detachment, grounding and understanding man in nature is more important than ever. With our handmade sound, we want to bring back the inner compass to the audience, reset the basic attitude with a tonal slap and thus free the inner monkey."
