Description was written before the event

New Model Army takes the stage on Friday, 21 August 2026 at the open-air venue Kammgarn in Kaiserslautern. The post-punk group, with over four decades of history, brings its 2026 tour to Germany, with a second date scheduled for December in Cologne. Kammgarn occupies a restored nineteenth-century wool mill and holds around 1,500 spectators for rock, metal, and jazz concerts. The industrial brick hall provides a fitting backdrop for New Model Army's sound-a band that has shaped post-punk, folk-rock, and goth across generations. Admission is 47.2 euros.
