Plug and Play | Gaming Musik Festival

In the organizer's words:

EXPERIENCE THE MUSIC OF YOUR FAVORITE GAMES LIVE IN COLOGNE!

Plug and Play | Gaming Music Festival

For the first time in Cologne: The Plug and Play Festival at the Artheater! The four artists 'Endgegner, JiggyTones, 8-Bit Strings and Kroggi' bring the music of your favorite games to the stage in an epic way: from soft harp sounds to jazz and rock.

True to the motto "Live, nostalgia, gaming".

Music acts:

Kroggi is a harpist who performs together with her instrument as a show act at conventions related to anime, gaming and Japanese pop culture. Since her debut in 2024, she has been playing video game soundtracks on the harp at events such as DoKomi in Düsseldorf and MEX in Berlin, sharing her love for the music of the gaming world with others.

8-Bit Strings is an ensemble consisting of a classical string quartet with percussion. The five musicians bring classics such as The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario to the stage as well as modern titles with a big sound, sometimes nostalgic and 8-bit, sometimes epic and orchestrated, but always true to the original and passionate.

JiggyTones play your favorite video game soundtracks live with Rock Band! From classics like Sonic, Final Fantasy or Mario Kart to indie hits like Undertale or Balatro. Look forward to an energetic show full of nostalgia and catchy tunes!

Endgegner is a band from Cologne that interprets melodies from video games in the style of a jazz and rock band. The great classics from Super Mario, Tetris, Zelda, Pokémon, Final Fantasy, etc. are given the necessary swing and groove and become part of an energetic live performance.

In addition to the live music, a retro games area and merchandise await you! Be there when it's "Plug and Play"!
