She has worked with Wil Malone (producer of Black Sabbath, The Verve, Depeche Mode and Iron Maiden, amongst others) on the musical architecture of the scores. Together, they have put together a top notch musical team for the 2013 live events, where, as always, Gianna´s music will be the center point of the show.

The visual side of the show has also been assigned to professionals of the highest level. Patrick Woodroffe is once again on the team, having also been the lighting designer for the latest Rolling Stones shows, Genesis, Lady Gaga, Bob Dylan, and Elton John.

For the first time ever, Gianna has chosen for herself and her band an essential and modern look for her show, designed specifically for the "Inno Tour 2013" by Giorgio Armani "because it is a true made in Italy".

Her latest album „Inno“ has just been released.

GIRL ON FIRE is released by RCA Records today (26th November 2012).  “I’m in love with this album!! It is full of new beginnings, new perspectives and fresh starts,” said Keys. “I’m so excited to be touring again. I’m looking forward to performing again throughout Europe and feeling the energy of the crowd—there’s nothing like it. I plan to bring you something Emotional and exciting! I’m a brand new me!”  Since the 2001 release of her monumental debut album, songs in A minor, Keys has built an unparalleled repertoire of hits and accomplishments with more than 30 million albums and 30 million singles sold worldwide, and over one hundred award wins, including fourteen Grammy Awards, eleven Billboard Music Awards and three MTV Europe Awards.  Keys’ most recently released, multi-platinum fourth studio album, Element of Freedom, sold over 1.5 million copies in Europe alone.  The first single off the upcoming album of the same name, “Girl On Fire” featuring Nicki Minaj, is currently in the top 10 on itunes in territories across the board, (including France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland), and in the top 5 of the European airplay charts with heavy rotation on radio stations throughout the continent. The forthcoming ‘GIRL ON FIRE’ album was written and produced by Alicia alongside collaborators Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Bruno Mars), Salaam Remi (Amy Winehouse, Nas), Frank Ocean, Emile Sande, and Jamie XX among others.  The announcement of Alicia Keys’ forthcoming SET THE WORLD ON FIRE TOUR comes hot off the heels of Keys’ show-stopping performance of “Girl On Fire” at the MTV EMAs 2012 in Frankfurt.  Don’t miss the chance to see one of the most naturally talented singer-songwriters of her generation: Alicia Keys live at the Rockhal on 2 June 2013. ]]> Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:30:00 +0200 http://www.rockhal.lu/nc/en/agenda/other/show/detail/ghostpoet/ EXIT07 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 21:00:00 +0200 http://www.rockhal.lu/nc/en/agenda/rock-pop/show/detail/the-killers/ Main Hall We have been informed by the organizer of this show, Den Atelier, that: "Due to illness, the Killers show initially scheduled on March 9th is rescheduled to June 6th.

For further information, please contact Den Atelier via www.atelier.lu or info@atelier.lu Back after a hiatus, The Killers have ditched the disco/electronic stylings of 2008's Day & Age to get back to a turbocharged version of the hurtling sound that, from 2004, made them the hottest thing in rock. Having dispensed with the iffy solo albums, ruckuses and motivational crises of the mega-selling rock band, the reactivated Las Vegas four-piece sound bigger than ever, a gale force of sound straining for grandiloquence. Frontman Brandon Flowers enormous holler suggests a stick-thin indie frontman possessed by the ghost of Pavarotti.

“La Sesión Cubana”, produced by Zucchero and Don Was, and mixed by Michael Brauer, combines seven brand new songs with six newly arranged Zucchero hits (“Baila”, “Un Kilo”, “Così Celeste”, “Cuba Libre”, ”Everybody’s got to learn sometime” and “L’Urlo”). The new recordings consist of the first single “Guantanamera (Guajira)”, adapted by Zucchero into Italian, original compositions “Love is all around” and “Sabor a ti”, and covers “Never is a moment”, “Nena”, “Pana” and “Ave Maria no morro”. “Nena” and “Pana” are in Spanish, the second one in duet with the brilliant artist Bebe, and “Ave Maria no morro”, sang in Portuguese, is a duet with one of the most prestigious singers of contemporary Brazilian music, Djavan.

Zucchero describes his new album in his own words: My music, as everybody knows, comes from blues, from soul, from gospel. This project is a trip from New Orleans to Cuba via Mexicali. Latin, Cuban, tex-mex sounds and rhythms melt together dancing. “Hasta l’asta siempre”.]]> Sat, 08 Jun 2013 18:30:00 +0200 http://www.rockhal.lu/nc/en/agenda/rock-pop/show/detail/lindsey-stirling/ Rockhal Box Wed, 12 Jun 2013 19:00:00 +0200 http://www.rockhal.lu/nc/en/agenda/rock-pop/show/detail/paramore/ Rockhal Box
Rockhal and Den Atelier present: The stratospheric rise of Paramore has been swift and is proof of the adage; what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. After taking the world by storm through their albums “All We Know Is Falling”, “Riot” and “Brand New Eyes”, the band is back on the radar of their fans with a new record, set for release in April! With millions of album sales and three Grammy nominations we are thrilled to announce that Paramore will be performing live at the Rockhal on 13 June 2013. When Hayley Williams began writing lyrics for the songs that appear on Paramore’s self-titled new album, she found herself feeling more optimistic than ever before about the future of the band she has fronted since she was 15. Lead-off single “Now” - with lyrics like “if there’s a future, we want it now” - sets the urgent tone of Paramore, the Nashville, Tennessee-bred band’s fourth album. Given the choice of packing it in or reinventing themselves as a trio, Williams, guitarist Taylor York, and bassist Jeremy Davis chose the latter and made a positive, uplifting album that reflects who they are in the present. The band members holed up to write over the past year and a half and emerged with a collection of songs that retains Paramore’s youthful spirit, but clearly shows their evolution. It’s the most musically adventurous set they’ve released to date. Which isn’t to say the album won’t thrill longtime fans. Still present is a ferocious, churning energy (a hallmark of Paramore’s sound) but the album should also earn Paramore new listeners, thanks to the trio’s willingness to explore uncharted sonic territory. Since releasing their gold-certified debut “All We Know Is Falling” in 2005, the 3x-Grammy-nominated band has shot to international stardom thanks to a strong connection with its fans that has translated into a string of platinum and gold singles, including “Misery Business,” “Crushcrushcrush,” and “That’s What You Get” from 2007’s platinum-certified “Riot!”, “Decode” from 2008’s Twilight soundtrack, “The Only Exception” from 2009’s platinum “Brand New Eyes”, and “Monster” from 2011’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon soundtrack. More than anything, Williams, Davis, and York are ready to get back on the road and feel that energy coming from the audience. Don’t miss Paramore performing live at the Rockhal on 13 June 2013. ]]> Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:00:00 +0200 http://www.rockhal.lu/nc/en/agenda/other/show/detail/mr-proufsall-sessions-at-rockhalcafe/ Rockhalcafe M&R Proufsall Sessions taking place on Friday, June 14.

This event is part of what M&R Rockhal stands for in the first place: the support and promotion of local bands and musicians. Before hitting the stage, the bands thus work in close collaboration with the M&R team to prepare the event best (backline organisation and promotion of the event). The relaxed atmosphere of Rockhalcafe will be the ideal place to discover this edition's selection.

Best known as one half of the cabaret-punk duo The Dresden Dolls, Amanda Palmer is a cross-genre performer, provocateur, singer, songwriter pianist and a ukulele fan. Get ready for a grandiose show as Amanda Palmer and her raucous crew The Grand Theft Orchestra, are bringing the interaction between music, art and her fans to a whole new level. If you still have a ticket for March that has not been reimbursed so far, it will stay valid for this new date. Coming into public consciousness in 2002 with punk-cabaret troupe The Dresden Dolls, Amanda Palmer has heaved her way to the top of the music industry's summit wearing little more than a corset and a bra. Four albums later, she and her independent attitude went solo, releasing “Who Killed Amanda Palmer” in 2008. Two self-released EP’s followed. In 2012 she achieved what many would have predicted to be impossible; Amanda changed the music industry and, indeed, art and commerce. Palmer made global headlines with her wildly successful crowd-funding campaign, raising 1,2 million dollars by selling close to 25.000 copies of her new album “Theatre is Evil”. Full of equal amounts of synth and rock, Amanda describes the record's musical style as "crancing", when you're simultaneously crying and dancing. Along with a slew of new songs, Amanda has concocted the ultimate band in the form of The Grand Theft Orchestra. Palmer has made a name for herself in the last few years as the exemplary social media artist, engaging in daily interactions with her fans. With over half a million Twitter followers and the ability to amass hundreds of people for spontaneous “ninja gigs”, Amanda Palmer has one of the most responsive and supportive online fan bases on the Internet. With a handful of summer festivals thrown into the mix- all headlining dates find singer, songwriter, piano-slayer and super-blogger Amanda Palmer, and her band, continuing to promote her arguably most pop-influenced album yet, “Theatre Is Evil”. Passion is what drives Amanda, and her success proves how determined she really is to make a difference not only in her own music, but in the way that music is created and consumed around the globe. Make sure you don’t miss Amanda Palmer together with the Grand Theft Orchestra on 8 July 2013. This is the future of music, and Amanda is leading the way. ]]> Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:00:00 +0200 http://www.rockhal.lu/nc/en/agenda/rock-pop/show/detail/the-smashing-pumpkins-1/ ROCKHAL BOX Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:00:00 +0200 http://www.rockhal.lu/nc/en/agenda/rock-pop/show/detail/neil-young-crazy-horse/ Main Hall Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:00:00 +0200 http://www.rockhal.lu/nc/en/agenda/rock-pop/show/detail/frank-turner-1/ Club The English folk/punk singer-songwriter Frank Turner’s meteoric rise continues this year as he recently released his fifth studio album “Tape Deck Heart”. This new production is totally the kind of record we’ve been expecting from the English punk-poet. After his overwhelming performance as opening act for the Dropkick Murphys this year, Frank Turner will return to the Rockhal on 21 September 2013 with his band The Sleeping Souls. Million Dead singer turned folk-punk singer-songwriter Frank Turner has already achieved cult status. Picking up his solo career where former band left off in 2005, Turner has since released numerous albums. He combines rock with poetry, is juxtaposing gorgeous melodies and has an impressive stage presence. His latest record, Tape Deck Heart is a rich and melodic set of folk/punk tunes dealing with Turner's usual themes of heartache, hope, redemption and the saving grace of rock and roll. At its core, it is the kind of record we’ve all always wanted Frank Turner to make. He’s unafraid to rock, but also confident enough in his songs to display astounding amounts of fragility and human weakness in his lyrics. Now if only the rest of the world would listen and take its cues from him, we’d be set for life. The album is light on traditional folk elements Turner’s accompanied by his usual backing musicians, The Sleeping Souls (Ben Lloyd—electric guitar, mandolin, vocals; Tarrant Anderson—bass guitar; Matt Nasir—piano, organ, keyboards, string arrangements, vocals; and Nigel Powell—drums, percussion, mandolin, vocals). Despite Turner’s punk politics and pleas laden with heartache, he knows the guitar in his hand is more than a weapon against fascism. He explicitly compares Shakespeare’s lover Romeo with the sexual explorer and lead singer of the rock group Kiss on “Wherefore Art Thou Gene Simmons”. With a handful of catchy folk, country, punk songs and enough charm and charisma to win over any crowd, be prepared for a promising concert, as Frank Turner will be playing on 21 September 2013 at the Rockhal.

Hurts are back on the airwaves worldwide with their epic new album, Exile, and its first hit single, Miracle. The ultimately suave synth duo from Manchester, Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson, take things in a darker and - subtly nuanced - heavier direction. With lyrics about sadism, sickness, possessiveness and envy, Exile employs greater variety than Happiness, their debut featuring the hit singles Wonderful World and Stay. Exile goes from acoustic grand piano to what sounds like electric guitar, but without sacrificing any of the grandeur. Exile is often reminiscent of Soft Cell or late 1980s Depeche Mode and it's on close personal terms with absolute pop magnificence.
http://www.informationhurts.com LESLIE CLIO From the moment Leslie Clio starts singing on her debut single, „Told You So,“ it’s clear that she’s captured the essence of great soul music and updated it for a new era. It’s Leslie’s self-written lyrics and take-charge singing performance that announce the arrival of a bold and refreshing new musical artist. Leslie Clio oozes the type of soul and authenticity that her forbears like Dusty Springfield or Lauryn Hill had. Some may see a young blonde woman and decide to call Leslie’s music blue-eyed soul, but it’s not cold, manufactured or distant. Leslie Clio is as direct as a 3 a.m. come-hither stare or a slap in the face. It’s bloodshot-eyed soul. This authenticity gives her an air of confidence that’s rare in these days of anonymous pop packaging. http://www.leslieclio.com/ MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY
Mutiny On The Bounty are enjoying European-wide critical acclaim to their brilliant new album "Trials", delivering their own unique brand of Minus The Bear/Fall Of Troy-esque  ‘math-rock’. The Matt Bayles (Mastodon/Fall Of Troy/Pearl Jam) produced album, recorded in Seattle, shows the band at their best balancing cutting, aggressively edged guitars, soaring melodies with new electronic elements, while always keeping an organic feel to their complex musical delivery. Last summer, the band played numerous festival across Europe sharing the stage with the likes of Biffy Clyro and Refused.

Belgian indie pop outfit Girls in Hawaii formed in 2000 and the group's heady blend of neo-psychedelic pop and alternative rock drew comparisons to Grandaddy, the Flaming Lips, and Blonde Redhead in the French media, and by 2002 the band had signed with Brussels-based 62TV Records. Girls in Hawaii released “From Here to There” in 2003, followed by “Plan Your Escape” in 2008. The band offers a pure and atmospheric music, with pop notes, but with the electronic mind. The melodies are terribly efficient. Now, Girls In Hawaii is happy to announce that they've started to work on new album. http://www.myspace.com/girlsinhawaii DEAR READER
The young artist from Johannesburg, South Africa, will introduce you to her intimate universe with the enchanting music of her new album "Rivonia". Cherilyn MacNeil is a singer, compositor and songwriter and will come to Luxembourg with a new album full of charm. With a voice comparable to Kate Bush, she will surprise you and bring you closer to her world of pop and folk pleasure. Her latest record “Rivonia” includes original songs and a whole lot of South African history. After the dense textures of 2010’s Brent Knopf helmed “Idealistic Animals,” MacNeil chose to focus on a few key elements: voice, piano, percussion and recorded much of the album in her own apartment, bringing in friends to perform the parts she’d constructed alone with little more than her voice. http://dearreadermusic.com/
SYNTHESIS The fresh Trip-Pop duo from Luxembourg is the collaboration between Deborah Lehnen (vocals - synthesizers) and Michael Galetto (drum machines - synthesizers) aka [vwaz] which have been evolving in many side-projects since the early 00's. Very inspired by the sounds of 80's, Hip Hop, Soul and Electronic music, they created a universe of their own, by mixing heavy beats, samples and soulful vocals.  [vwaz] is creating songs that remind you of movie soundtracks. 'Short and eclectic' might be the point of order. Combined with Deborah Lehnen’s voice, Synthesis is the perfect mix between pop, underground & experimental electronic music.

The artist is going to share this moment with the Rockhal's audience on 12 December 2013. Six years after "Divinidylle", almost four years after her Best Of record, two years after the end of her acoustic tour, Vanessa Paradis wanted to explore uncharted territory. She had worked together with several songwriters and composers. Some songs were already waiting on the shelf… Suddenly, there was a burst of radiance. Benjamin Biolay sent eight songs to Vanessa Paradis. Not eight drafts, no. Eight produced songs which only needed her unique voice – similarly to a soft, yet rough caress or a sugar cube with a pinch of sourness. Biolay offered to take her on a trip where everyday French pop music meets the strings of French goldsmiths from the Golden Age, where the wood of the guitars is grained with electricity, and where notes do not accept to bow down to commercial considerations… She didn't know where her next album would lead her, and it now turns out to be that rare jewel which is able to play its part without hesitating in the artistic history of Vanessa, after Serge Gainsbourg, Lenny Kravitz and -M-… Vanessa is on fire. There will be romance, rock, confessions, romanticism, and all of it will be marked by a musician with encyclopedic talent. "Love Songs" resembles a real love story: emotions contrast and silky melancholy hides behind every smile, a brave voice wades through all fords – and even through some abysses. Vanessa Paradis never accepts easy emotions and hackneyed effects. Elegantly, honestly, gravely and generously, she confirms her status of a glorious adventurer: she did not record a set of love songs telling fantastic, rose-coloured stories, but speaking the truth, from the heart. Do not miss the opportunity to be part of this special moment. Come experience the softness and melancholy of one of the most popular French singers: Vanessa Paradis live at the Rockhal on 12 December 2013. ]]> Thu, 12 Dec 2013 19:00:00 +0100 http://www.rockhal.lu/nc/en/agenda/other/show/detail/international-record-fair/ Rockhal Foyer

Singer Gary Mullen, star of  that spectacular show, glorifies pop icon Freddy Mercury’s  world famous self-expression with the highest possible accuracy. Gary Mullen & The Works imitate the charismatic sound of their idols in the most perfect way.
 
„One Night Of Queen“ creates a perfect illusion, a journey through time to an era of one of the most successful British rock bands. The two-hour-concert will perform the hits of a century such as ‚Bohemian Rhapsody’, ‚Don´t stop me now’ or ‚We are the champions’.
 
If Gary Mullen aka Freddie Mercury is going to get the audience rocking in original outfits you will get the feeling to experience a real Queen show. Mullen looks, dances and sings just like Mercury! And when the audience calls for encores by screaming ‚Freddie, Freddie’, the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur completely.
 
These Brits constantly provide the audience with mood and feeling keeping the memory alive.

Nach zahlreichen Auszeichnungen wie dem Bambi und Echo als bester Newcomer, der Einslive Krone und einem MTV Music Award als Bester Künstler, dazu Doppelplatin für sein Debütalbum „Wenn Worte meine Sprache wären“ und über 100.000 Zuschauern bei seinen Konzerten, allein 2012, erscheint endlich Ende Mai sein neues Album „Am seidenen Faden“. Und auch live sollen die Fans des Sängers wieder auf ihre Kosten kommen. Tim Bendzko und seine Band werden am 7. März 2014 im Rahmen ihrer „Ich steh nicht mehr still Tour 2013/2014“ live in der Rockhal in Luxemburg auftreten. Das erste Konzert der Tour findet bereits in diesem Jahr, am 03.08.2013 in der Berliner Waldbühne statt. Warum startet die Tour in der Waldbühne? Vor vier Jahren gewinnen 14 Musiker und Sänger den „Söhne gesucht“ Wettbewerb der Söhne Mannheims. Darunter ist auch ein junger Berliner mit blonden Locken, entwaffnendem Lächeln und toller Stimme. Und diese Stimme beschert ihm einen Auftritt als Supportact der Söhne Mannheims auf der schönsten Bühne seiner Heimatstadt – der Berliner Waldbühne. 2011 trifft er mit seiner ersten Single „Nur noch kurz die Welt retten“ den Nagel des Zeitgeistes mitten auf den Kopf, was ihm nicht nur einen Hit in den Charts beschert, sondern auch den Supportslot für die Konzerte der Legende Joe Cocker – auf dieser Tour steht er dann zum zweiten Mal auf der Waldbühne. Und nun schließt sich der Kreis: Am 03. August 2013 wird Tim Bendzko ein drittes Mal auf der Waldbühne stehen. Die erste Single des neuen Albums ist sowohl Vorbote als auch Namensgeber des bald erscheinenden zweiten Albums von Tim Bendzko. Und wenn "Am seidenen Faden" ein Wegweiser in Richtung dieses Albums ist, dann erwartet uns etwas Großes. In den schwebenden, sensibel orchestrierten Klängen ist eine klare musikalische Entwicklung zu spüren: ein Reifeprozess, in dessen Brust zwar noch deutlich das Herz des Singer-Songwriters schlägt, der aber jetzt viel mehr Raum für Offenheit, Emotionalität und Weite schafft. Hier findet keine Wiederholung eines bewährten Musters statt - hier passiert etwas neues, ehrliches, dass aus der Summe von Erlebnissen und Erfahrungen heraus gewachsen ist. Mit "Am seidenen Faden" beginnt 2013 der rote Faden für Tim Bendzko und am 7. März 2014 werden Tim Bendzko & Band live in der Rockhal auftreten. ]]> Fri, 07 Mar 2014 19:00:00 +0100 http://www.rockhal.lu/nc/en/agenda/rock-pop/show/detail/the-australian-pink-floyd-show-2/ Main Hall Wed, 19 Mar 2014 19:00:00 +0100 http://www.rockhal.lu/nc/en/agenda/other/show/detail/buelent-ceylan/ Main Hall
Da wo er bei den Wilden Kreatürken aufgehört hat, macht er jetzt weiter mit seinen massenhypnotischen Fähigkeiten, seiner genialen Spontaneität und den verrückten Ideen und Gags. Zur Unterstützung bringt er natürlich wieder seine Freunde mit. Harald, den Original Mannheimer Naseweisen, Hasan, den türkischen Testosteron-Vollpfosten, Anneliese, die höchstens mal unheil-schwangere Pelzhändlerin und Mompfreed, den Hausmeister, mit dem Feingefühl einer Feuersbrunst.

Warum der Abend dann mit dem Erscheinen des unbesiegbaren und ewig lebenden Ceylander beginnt, was Bülent den Spitznamen Türkochonder eingebracht hat und warum manche Geschichten „Long Long Hair“ sind, erfahren wir alles im „HAARDROCK“. Da werden Alpha und Romeo genau so eine haarige Rolle spielen wie ein zärtlicher Urologe, die Niveauregulierung bei Single-Börsen und nervige Krümelpicker. Bülent Ceylan stellt mal wieder alles auf den Kopf und zwingt auch wie so oft genau diesen zum permanenten Einsatz.

Bülent wird weiterhin Dummschwätzer entlarven oder tausendmal gehörte Oberflächlichkeiten aufspüren. Trotz aller ernsthafter Absichten bleibt aber der Lachzwang sein Lieblingszwang und er wird noch oft gemeinsam mit seinem Publikum lachen und sich mit ihm auch gemeinsam freuen können bis an solchen Abenden nur noch eins zu sehen ist – lauter fröhliche Gesichter!]]> Sun, 04 May 2014 20:00:00 +0200
