Honky Tonk Music Festival Meets GC (Games Convention)
Company: Leipziger Messe GmbH
Date: 03 Aug 2006
Summer break? Not in Leipzig! Two events in August prove the opposite: Honky Tonk® music festival meets GC (Games Convention). "Play it’s your nature" is the slogan of the GC, Europe's sole trade fair for entertainment, infotainment, edutainment, from 24 to 27 August. At the Leipzig exhibition centre there will be numerous world and European premieres from the world of computer and video games, accompanied by a giant support programme. For evening action, from 26 August the world of live music takes over – at the Honky Tonk® music festival 55 bands and DJs in 34 locations and six open air sessions will ensure that the party goes on and on. Angela Schierholz (GC Project Director) and Edgar Lahrius-Bergmann (organiser of the music festival) are looking forward to the double header of fair and festival: "Both events are unique in their field, together they’re unbeatable. At the GC the fair visitors can experience the latest in the games sector before heading off in the evening for the anniversary Honky Tonk® music festival, which is being staged in Leipzig for the 20th time in 2006."
At the Honky Tonk® there are a lot of new acts to discover, with 31 bands and DJs appearing at the Honky Tonk® for the first time. You would have to take a very deep breath to name all of them here – so here are just a few examples.
One new act is the Magic Boogie Show in Gasthaus Barthels Hof, with boogie-woogie, rhythm `n` blues and rock `n` roll. It should also be mentioned here that Boogieman Vito is also celebrating his birthday on 26 August. No better reason for turning up to celebrate his birthday AND Honky Tonk®…
The bands Aeroplane and Brass Machine, appearing on the Marktplatz in the Sony SingStar® Rocks Arena, are also making their debut at the festival. Another Honky Tonk® debutante can be seen at Café Paul, where Wrick will be putting on an inimitable party rock show. Another brand new act is DJ Rog in the Coco Bar, who will be playing modern Caribbean sounds to keep the temperature up. The Buddy Holly Show, playing the best of rock `n` roll on Burgplatz, is another new must-see musical experience at Honky Tonk®. And don't forget the Party Tram, where DJ Houseprime will be pumping up the party atmosphere, and which will be rolling around the Innenstadtring from 8.00 PM to 2.00 am.
What do the entrance bracelets cost, and where can you get them?
Once again, the slogan at the Honky Tonk® music festival is: pay once, then use the entrance bracelet to visit all events. Entrance bracelets can be purchased at the ticket office for 12 euro on the evening or 9.50 euro in advance.
