GYMMICK & die ERBEN

On Friday, 23 October 2026, Kulturhaus Torgau hosts a special concert evening: GYMMICK & die ERBEN take the stage from 20:00 to perform the timeless songs of Ton Steine Scherben and Rio Reiser live. Expect an evening of music, emotion and shared memories - honest, powerful and moving.

For nine years, GYMMICK performed as vocalist and guitarist alongside musicians from the legendary Ton Steine Scherben, singing Rio Reiser's songs. That intense collaboration, and the audience's lasting enthusiasm, sparked the desire to keep this music alive. Together with the ERBEN, Gymmick carries that mission forward, bringing the songs of Rio Reiser and RPS Lanrue back to life - respectfully, authentically, and with a musical voice of their own.

Driving drums, sharp electric guitars and a gritty bass produce a sound that catches you off guard: raw, alive and close enough to the original that it feels like the early Ton Steine Scherben are on stage again. GYMMICK & die ERBEN weave familiar rebellious classics together with deep ballads and original songs that fit naturally into the band's musical heritage.

This concert is more than a look back - it is an invitation to share something together. The music of Ton Steine Scherben bridges generations, and that is what makes this evening stand out. Whether you have loved these songs for decades or are hearing them for the first time: young and old, fans of punk, rock and German-language songwriting are all equally welcome.

The press credits GYMMICK with an extraordinary closeness to Rio Reiser - vocally compelling, emotionally charged and yet distinctly his own. His shows are passionate, intimate and full of energy. Together we celebrate freedom, rebellion, solidarity and love - values as relevant today as they ever were.
