Leo In The Lioncage + SILK + Emily Otto

Three exciting acts from the young German music scene come together on May 5 at the MTC Cologne: Leo in the Lioncage, SILK and Emily Otto bring funk, soul, pop and cross-genre sounds together on one stage.

Leo in the Lioncage break down the boundaries between alternative pop, Latin and reggae with their own unique space-Latin sound. The nine-piece band around front woman Leo Vierk inspires with fiery vocals, striking horns and a rousing stage energy. During their current tour through Germany and Europe, they are stopping off in Cologne to present songs from their upcoming album Tender Creatures (2026).

The eight-piece funk and soul band SILK creates a sound between soul, funk and fusion with a precise rhythm section, powerful brass section and charismatic vocals. Virtuoso improvisations, danceable grooves and trombonist Björn Beier's own arrangements turn their concerts into an energetic musical journey.
