Concert: Hotel Rimini – Gefährdete Arten Tour 2026

String-heavy indie pop with poetic lyrics, a diverse range of instrumentation, and influences spanning jazz, chanson, and classical music. Even without botanical expertise, one could describe the musical roots of the Leipzig-based band HOTEL RIMINI as widely branched. The six band members unite their diverse backgrounds into a unique sonic universe: electric guitar, double bass, and drums blend with cello and violin; piano and acoustic guitar meet saxophones, French horns, and clarinets, alongside analog sound effects or a vintage synthesizer. The German lyrics by lead singer Julius Forster explore lonely self-promoters, missed opportunities, coming to terms with the past on public transit, or faltering in the face of life's everyday brutalities. Their albums “Allein unter Möbeln” (2023) and “Gefährdete Arten” (2025) were met with waves of enthusiasm from audiences and critics alike, leading them on extensive tours across the German-speaking world. The six Riminis recently gathered on the outskirts of Leipzig to work on their third album (set for release in autumn 2027) – and are now heading on tour with their first new songs.
“Poetic chamber pop in the zoo of life. Excellent!”

Rolling Stone

“With their instrumentation oscillating between indie and chanson, the songs sound timeless, while the lyrics chronicle the present with acumen and wit.”

Musikexpress

“Elegiac chanson-pop with strings and brass, a bit like Element of Crime, but with lyrics for the Tinder generation.”
