"Ohrbooten" and "Budzillus" rock Zittau

No University would be complete without a proper Campus Open Air—what a stroke of luck for the students at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, because the festivities will take place at two locations! Following a spectacular Campus Open Air last Friday in Görlitz, the

“ ” “Campus rockt! 2015”

will take place on Saturday, June 13, in Zittau. Unlike usual, it won’t be held directly on the University campus but in the parking lot of the Star-Club Zittau.

Due to construction at the Fraunhofer Institute, the previous location was no longer available. The charming “workaround” in the garage courtyard at the Star-Club Zittau offers several advantages; for example, much of the necessary infrastructure is already in place and can be utilized. In addition, the historic garage complex—located within sight of the University—offers wonderful possibilities, such as housing the food stands in the large-capacity garages, and provides numerous opportunities for creative lighting of the grounds. The event kicks off at 5:00 p.m. with a diverse lineup to suit every taste.

This year’s headliners are the

OHRBOOTEN, a “”

band that blends elements of reggae, ragga, alternative, and hip-hop in their music. This band has been grooving its way through the music world for 12 years now. Their very first demo recordings caught the attention of Die Toten Hosen, who signed them to their in-house record label, JKP, in 2005 and released three albums. MTV has them in rotation, and at festivals like Rock am Ring, Hurricane, and Chiemsee Reggae Summer, they amaze audiences with their groundbreaking energy.

, BUDZILLUS

from Berlin has also emerged in recent years as one of Berlin’s most successful bands with their mix of swing, surf, punk, and a healthy dose of Eastern European soul.

, and

Herzig from Nuremberg deliver “Powerrock Made in Germany, ” and local artists such as rapper Porta One and singer-songwriter Schraubenyeti from Görlitz will also be performing. The event will be hosted by comedian Thomas Jurisch from Dresden, who is already familiar to many Zittau residents from the poetry slam at the Star Club.

Catering for “Campus rockt!” will be provided by the student café at Christian Weise Gymnasium, Emil e.V., and F-Matrix e.V.

Admission is free from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.!

Following the open-air concert, the fun continues with an after-show party featuring DJ T-Cool and Deejay DaRoxX starting around 11:00 p.m. at the Star Club.
