Description was written before the event

Girls Under Glass bring their 40-year anniversary concert to Markthalle Hamburg on Saturday, 10 October 2026. The historic market hall, built in 1892 and located in the city centre, will host an evening of dark electronics and EBM from one of the genre's pioneering acts. This is one of four German dates the band has scheduled across 2026 and 2027. Markthalle Hamburg is known for hosting artists across multiple genres-from rock and indie to electronic music-and its industrial brick architecture provides a fitting backdrop for Girls Under Glass's aesthetic.
