Die Toten Hosen
Germany's biggest punk band by a distance — stadium-scale at home, playing a Blackpool ballroom here, forty years of anthems compressed into one gleeful set.
Die Toten Hosen formed in Düsseldorf in 1982, emerging from the West German punk scene around vocalist Campino. Their early records were fast, funny and rooted in street punk; over the following decades the songwriting broadened into melodic rock and singalong choruses without abandoning the punk framework, and the band became one of the biggest live draws in the German-speaking world.
Most of their catalogue is sung in German, and the group has also recorded football-terrace material and covers, including work under the alias Die Roten Rosen. Campino's between-song talk and the band's long relationship with its audience are a large part of what the shows are built around.
