The Virginmarys

In the organizer's words:

The Virginmarys in Germany for five concerts in late fall

Punk is not dead - numerous bands have proven this in recent years, with the British punk and grunge scene in particular experiencing a strong revival. One of the most prominent bands in this renaissance is The Virginmarys, whose energetic mix of genres is inspiring many. The band was founded in 2009 in the otherwise rather tranquil town of Macclesfield, when Ally Dickaty came together as singer, Danny Dolan as drummer and Matt Rose as bassist. The Virginmarys initially released a limited series of EPs, which were always sold out, before their debut album "King of Conflict" was released in 2013. The reviews were consistently positive - the album reached third place on the Billboard New Artist Alternative Charts and was nominated for Best Album at the Classic Rock Awards 2013. The band also won the title of "Best Breakthrough Act" at the same awards. Their second album "Divides", which was produced by rock legend Gil Norton, followed in 2016. With their classic style of powerful guitar riffs, intense drums and Dickaty's raspy voice, the band gained more and more fans. Especially the often very profound lyrics about personal struggles and socio-political issues appealed to many in the rock and punk scene.
The band underwent several line-up changes over the years and decided to continue as independent artists without a label in 2017. During this time, they released the EP "Sitting Ducks" and the album "Northern Sun Sessions". The Virginmarys have been working as a duo since 2020 and released the EP "The Devil Keeps Coming" in 2022. In addition to their numerous releases, the band has already toured worldwide: as the support band for iconic acts such as Queens of the Stone Age and Slash, they have inspired many new fans. But The Virginmarys also proved on their own tours through Europe and the USA that good, homemade punk works in stadiums as well as small basement clubs.
A new studio album is planned for the end of 2024, the first as a duo. It will be accompanied by an extensive UK and European tour, during which fans can look forward to five intense German concerts full of rebellious energy. The special combination of hard, haunting melodies and meaningful lyrics make for a guaranteed unforgettable experience!
