Info
Franz Ferdinand bring their precise, danceable indie rock to Cologne. The band from Glasgow, formed in 2002 around singer and guitarist Alex Kapranos, layers angular riffs over springy basslines and sleek drum grooves. With “Take Me Out” the band became internationally known in 2004; the debut Franz Ferdinand and its follow-up You Could Have It So Much Better cemented their lean, rhythm-driven sound. Later, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand opened the door to electronic textures, complemented by the dub companion Blood—without losing the directness that carries their songs on stage. Live, Franz Ferdinand rely on timing and energy: crisp breaks, clear hooks and an irresistible urge to move. On 4 April 2026 at the Palladium in Cologne, this will be matched by a setlist that blends early hits with newer, club-ready tracks.
The Great Leslie open the evening. The UK-based band provides the indie-rock warm-up and bridges the gap to Franz Ferdinand’s tight set.
