The Hamburg band STATION 17 has been avantgarde for 34 years. Founded in 1989 as a project of the “Wohngruppe 17” for disabled people, the band has always renewed itself with a cosmopolitan and genre-open approach. From pop to techno to krautrock, STATION 17 can do almost anything and has played with diverse guests such as Andreas Dorau, DJ Koze and Michael Rother. At the opening of Summer Festival, the band will present their now eleventh studio album “Oui Bitte” (Bureau B) – returning to Kampnagel after five years with a new lineup. “Simply let yourself be carried away by the drifting, elegiac rhythm; lying, dancing, as it comes. Everything seems possible in the boundlessness of this music,” says writer and musician Hendrik Otremba about the new album. Support comes from the new Hamburg duo DEWS (Pola Levy and Maurice Meyer): Pop Noir with glam factor, and an album produced by Olaf
Opal, to be released in autumn.
