KUULT – Polaroid Tour 2026
KUULT are embarking on a new chapter with the Polaroid Tour 2026 – louder, closer and more intense than ever before. For over ten years, the pop trio from the Ruhr region has stood for honest lyrics, emotional depth and rousing live shows that get under your skin.
The new songs are snapshots full of life – like a Polaroid: fleeting, intense and captured forever. Every song captures feelings, every evening becomes a shared memory. The tour stands for new beginnings, trust and the certainty that moments become history.
KUULT are: Chris Werner, Christian de Crau, Andreas Köckerbauer.

Miu
After Miu opened the concert evening for Alphaville at the Gronau Jazz Festival in May, she is coming to our music club in October for her own club concert – intimate, close and full of atmosphere.
Miu’s music is retro-inspired soul pop, produced in a modern way and carried by a warm, unmistakable voice. Her songs tell of self-doubt, new beginnings and inner searching – honest, reflective and emotional. It is precisely this mixture that has earned her a loyal fan base and great recognition.
Her music is present in many ways: in ARD Tatort productions, on Netflix or for brands such as Montblanc. Miu was also the first artist to play at the Elbphilharmonie – even before the official opening. She has supported Macy Gray, Gianna Nannini, Leon Bridges and Stefanie Heinzmann, among others, on stage.
On this tour, Miu presents her latest album “Ten Times Around the Sun” – a personal, powerful work that unfolds its full intensity in club format.
An evening for all those who love soul, pop and indie and prefer to discover extraordinary female artists live rather than later in retrospect.

Robert Stadlober
It is about the impossibilities of human interaction. In matters of love as well as in matters of hate, about the senselessness of violence and the hopelessness of politics that seeks to convey itself through violence. It is about the longing for a kind of real life and the perpetual struggle of the many for a small piece of the whole.
And Robert Stadlober sings, speaks and reminds us that so much has not changed since Kurt Tucholsky said: “If we are not cruel, then we immediately believe that we are good.” Our times are certainly not really worse, but they are certainly not better either.

Cassy Carrington – A Cassy Christmas
Cassy Carrington – more tinsel when in doubt.
The big, revamped Christmas show by Cologne’s “Queen of Christmas” Cassy Carrington – with Xmas classics, her own hits, comedy and Christmas eroticism.
As every year, Cassy invites you to her own, not-so-holy evening. In addition to the entertainment on stage, the drag queen also seeks out spontaneous conversations with the audience and hopefully meets the next flirt under the Christmas tree. They sing and laugh together and sometimes it might even get a little pre-Christmas melancholy. Maybe Cassy will even get out her recorder or read an erotic Christmas poem. This evening is full of surprises.
Organizer: Kreis Borken and Aidshilfe Westmünsterland e.V., in cooperation with the rock’n’popmuseum

SOLD OUT! Jan van Weyde – Weyder is on the move
Ladies and gentlemen! Here it is – the second child, the second program, the second big cap!
Weyder is on the move! Jan van Weyde talks about the daily madness of being a working dad to two young daughters – one in the throes of anger, the other in the middle of teething puberty. His day starts at 6:30 in the morning with brushing his teeth, painting unicorns and dressing up in Disney costumes – until the children are awake. Then the big one has to go to school and the little one has to go on “Tinder dates”, as she calls it.
And while he ends up in mini hotel beds on tour and feels like a student at parents’ evenings, life asks him the big questions: What do babies dream about? What do you call female meerkats? And are you allowed to “accept cookies” at Weight Watchers?

Ben Schafmeister – A tic different
“Ein Tic Anders” is the name of his first solo program, with which he will go on a try-out tour in autumn 2025 and a major tour of Germany in 2026.
The title says it all: Ben has Tourette’s syndrome – and he turns it into comedy that is not only funny but also disarmingly honest.
Because what is actually normal? And how much of it do we really need?
His show is not classic stand-up, but entertainment: self-written songs, stand-up, improv, visual presentations and audience interaction – all combined in a unique mix that captivates his audience from the first to the last minute.
Whether absurd stories from the life of an artist, the peculiarities of Generation Z or the pitfalls of growing up – Ben hits the nerve of the times and delivers an evening full of energy, charm and unforgettable moments.

Nico Gomez
With his unique voice and captivating stage presence, Nico Gomez has long since made a name for himself beyond the borders of his home town. As a songwriter for Peter Maffay, Johannes Oerding, Mo-Torres and Sarah Engels, among others, or as a studio singer for productions such as RTL’s “Let’s Dance”, Nico’s musicality and wealth of experience are also evident. Nico’s sincere and honest lyrics touch the hearts of his listeners. His music tells of personal experiences and the meaning of love, while he moves between the genres of R&B, pop, soul and electronica.
In recent years, the artist has built up a steadily growing fan base that already sings along to his songs by heart and is eagerly waiting to experience him live in Germany’s major cities.
