Jan Delay

Jan Delay has been one of Germany's greatest musical entertainers for decades. Since 1999, the Hamburg native has been getting crowds dancing, celebrating and grooving. His concert at Monheimer Sommer is a tribute to a solo career spanning more than a quarter century - delivered by a musician known for his nasal voice and ever-present headwear.

Who hasn't heard the legendary albums: "Searching for the Jan Soul Rebels", the gold-certified "Mercedes Dance", "Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Soul", "Hammer & Michel" and "Earth, Wind and Feiern"? Jan Delay's success comes from a rare consistency: no matter how far he roams stylistically - from reggae to German rap to funk and soul - the love of music always holds it together. He is a genuine icon of German pop.

Live, his brand of dance music makes it physically impossible to stand still. His outstanding live band Disko No. 1 backs him up with groove after groove, turning every show into a full-on party. Anyone who wants to be there when Germany's funk factory number one takes the stage should mark Monheimer Sommer in their calendar now.
