BAP inspires in Rastatt: A concert in a class of its own!
BAP, the legendary Kölsch rock band from Cologne, gave a concert in the Rastatt Castle courtyard on June 26, 2025 that made the fans' hearts beat faster. With a performance lasting over three hours, the group took the audience back to the early 80s, a time that brings back nostalgic memories for many. The band has existed since it was founded in 1976 and has established itself as a fixture in the German music business over the decades. More than 27 albums and numerous successes, including undisputed records in the German album charts, make BAP one of the most influential bands in Germany. Deutsche Nachrichten reports that the band presented the classics from their long career during the concert, which the audience enthusiastically sang along to.
Several performances are scheduled for the next few days. The second concert as part of the “Time Travel” tour will take place on June 27, 2025 in Beverungen at the Weser Open Air. The other stops on the tour include performances in cities like Braunschweig, Mainz and Wiesbaden - a real festival for all fans! They will also be seen in Munich at the Tollwood Festival before the tour continues in Weimar, Chemnitz and Dinslaken. Another reason for the fans to be happy is the stadium concert in Cologne, which is planned for July 10, 2026, on the occasion of 50 years of BAP. BAP website lists the upcoming dates in detail, all of which are dedicated to this great band.
An impressive career
BAP was founded in 1976 by Wolfgang Niedecken and other founding members and has since developed into a musical phenomenon. With a mixture of rocking sounds and Cologne lyrics, which often address social and personal issues, the band has achieved numerous chart placements over the years. What's particularly notable is that BAP has surpassed the Beatles in Germany in terms of the number of number one albums - proof of their immense popularity. You can find out more about the band's history and successes on Wikipedia.
Not only did the BAP concert take place on June 26th; Other social events also marked the day in the region. At the mayoral election in Bühl, five candidates presented their ideas in a well-attended large sports hall. An incident at Werderplatz also caused a stir when a 66-year-old from Karlsruhe was caught with 200 opioid tablets. Positive news, however, comes from Rheinstetten, where the local council is planning to create new wedding venues such as the swimming lake to encourage couples.
The city cycling campaign in Bruchsal and the surrounding area is another highlight in the region, which takes place from June 29th to July 19th. The school principal Heiko Graf becomes active as a city cycling star to raise awareness of the cycling infrastructure. Such initiatives show that there is a lot going on in the region, not only culturally but also socially.
BAP's musical journey and the events surrounding it perfectly capture the vibrant culture in Cologne and the surrounding area. All fans are encouraged to attend the upcoming concerts and celebrate the nostalgic moments with the band!
