Düsseldorf Now: The current music scene as a mixtape

#6: Head echo

Düsseldorf has a lively music scene. If you want to get an up-to-date overview, check out our Spotify playlist "TSOD Mixtape" - curated by Julian Janisch from the concert agency KKT.

Every week we present an artist or band from the playlist. In this way, we would like to help "The Sound of Düsseldorf" get the exposure it deserves, even during the pandemic. As long as no concerts can take place, it is even more difficult for new artists* to find an audience. Support your favorite local bands now. Play it loud for your neighborhood! Here now the profile of Kopfecho:

Where in Düsseldorf did you play your first concert?
In a party cellar in Eller, a few years ago

And where your last one?
Our release show for the new album at the zakk Halle on 31 January 2020

Which song do you listen to when you feel homesick for Düsseldorf?
A song we usually listen to on the tour bus and sing along loudly when we're on our way home is "Altes Fieber" by the Hosen. 

Which Düsseldorf band should you build a statue to?
Antelope Gang 

Where else in Düsseldorf would you like to play?
The Philipshalle or Mitsubishi Halle is a childhood dream.
