DOTA | ZMF Freiburg

In the organizer's words:

FOUNTAIN TOUR 2026

DOTA is back with new songs, a new chapter that fits perfectly into the series of their previous albums, but still different, as if a previously unknown ingredient had appeared in the song lab.

You won't miss anything you like about this band, but the music is even more minimalist, bouncier - adults would say: more contrasting. The lyrics go straight to the heart of darkness, are devotedly searching and even clearer when unclear. Perhaps it is also a product of her preoccupation with the poetry of Mascha Kaléko, to whose musical realization she has dedicated two albums in the last three years.

It's not for nothing that the band's name is written in capital letters, because the name reflects more than just Dota Kehr's lyrical self, but also the community around her in which the music has been created for several years: guitarist Jan Rohrbach, drummer Janis Görlich, keyboardist Patrick Reising and bassist Alexander Binder. Together they write this special formula on the blackboard: every word means at least its opposite, with question marks everywhere and hardly any exclamation marks.

On July 16, DOTA will bring their special sound to the Freiburg Zelt-Musik-Festival for the second time.
