In the organizer's words:

Keith Caputo on solo tour in March 2026: Live presentation of his solo debut "Died Laughing" as part of six German shows!

Presented by Rock Hard

Special guests: Serpents

One of the greatest voices in rock music belongs to Keith Caputo from Brooklyn. After gaining an enormous following as the lead singer of the world-renowned rock alt/metal band Life of Agony, Caputo has earned a reputation for touching listeners deep into their souls with his poetry. His heart-wrenching live performances are of a rare intense duality: within a single show, he is able to ignite arena-sized mosh pits and at the same time evoke breathless silence. Whether as a solo artist or frontman of Life of Agony, who recently embarked on an extensive European tour this fall, including five acclaimed German shows in November, concerts with this unique voice - paired with his bittersweet poetry - are always events to remember. In March 2026, Keith Caputo will return to Germany, this time as a solo artist and accompanied by a high-profile live band, and will perform his solo debut "Died Laughing" from 2000 in its entirety live on stage at six shows in Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt, Munich, Schorndorf and Bochum, alongside a selection of songs from his entire solo repertoire. Among the leading alternative and metal bands that established their worldwide success in the 1990s, Life of Agony always played in their own league. Because the artistic core of dark romanticism, consuming melancholy, gripping emotionality alternating with brute passages and a lyrical subtlety in the contemplation of mental illness has always remained the same - always carried and inspired by Keith Caputo's special voice and deeply moving lyrics. In this, Caputo is a master of his trade: giving people with all their pain, fears and everyday problems not only a musical home, but also the feeling of being understood. Obsessed with hard truths, Caputo remains a fearless conqueror of his own pain. Orphaned as the child of heroin-addicted parents, Keith was forced to grow up in a dark world. And while themes of abuse and neglect may seem familiar to those who follow his work, Caputo sheds new light on these topics with every song he creates and an oeuvre that now includes six solo albums. As unorthodox as his lyrical content may be, the most surprising thing about Caputo is his engaging romanticism. As Keith himself says: "From my own feelings of alienation, dissatisfaction and longing, a vast sea of compassion emerges."

Keith Caputo will be accompanied by special guest Serpents, a quintet from Poland who create their music somewhere between modern metalcore and alternative metal, filtered through a raw electronic lens. They have developed a unique sound that is as heavy as it is hypnotic - a blend that hits hard but isn't afraid to experiment.
