Brass Machine: 25th Anniversary Concert
For a quarter of a century now, the eleven-piece band has stood for high-energy live music, a powerful horn section and four strong voices - that calls for a celebration!
Brass Machine turns 25 – the Saarland-Palatinate band is celebrating this highly impressive anniversary in musical circles on Saturday, October 31, 2026, with a special concert at the Stadthalle Landstuhl. The audience can look forward to an exhilarating anniversary show with a visual journey through two and a half decades of the band's history.

Since their first performance in August 2001 at the Trifels Open Air, Brass Machine has combined rock, pop, soul and funk into an unmistakable live sound. Two female singers, two male singers, a powerful rhythm section and the three-piece horn section consisting of trumpet, saxophone and trombone provide a musical range and intensity that go far beyond the repertoire of a classic cover band – livemusic at it's best!
Over the past 25 years, Brass Machine has performed on numerous major and renowned stages. Among the most notable milestones are three appearances at the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival – the first in 2002, when their first live CD was produced, and the most recent on the 2019 festival poster alongside stars such as Elton John, Slash, Janet Jackson and Sting.
In addition, through many concerts in music clubs and concert halls, at city festivals and festivals, for radio and TV stations as well as corporate events and trade fair parties for renowned companies, the band has built up a loyal fan base far beyond the region. The Hamburg Port Anniversary, Kiel Week, Rhine in Flames at the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz and Disneyland Paris should not go unmentioned here. Performances have taken place not only in almost all major German cities, but also in Davos, Vienna, Lucerne, Barcelona, Luxembourg and in Italy's Piedmont or Fuerteventura.
Well-known bands and artists such as Foreigner, Roger Cicero, Jan Josef Liefers, The Hooters, Laith Al Deen, Kelly Family, Hot Chocolate, Joy Flemming, Blood Sweat & Tears, Silly with Anna Loos, Andreas Bourani, Stefanie Heinzmann, Candy Dulfer, Fury & the Slaughterhouse, Alphaville, Beatrice Egli and Liquido have been supported by Brass Machine.
Musicians from Herbert Grönemeyer, PUR, Fanta4, Gregor Meyle, Cro, Helene Fischer, H-Blockx, TV Total, The Voice Of Germany, Pierre Krause Show, Soko Köln and Sing-my-Song have even played regularly with Brass Machine at times.
But the evening is not intended to be just a look back. Brass Machine wants to celebrate together with companions, friends and fans – while also showing that even after a quarter of a century, the band is still full of enthusiasm for performing, energy and musical ideas. Many newly added songs to the program will keep things lively.
The anniversary concert in Landstuhl brings together what has distinguished Brass Machine for 25 years: strong songs, sophisticated arrangements, powerful horn sections, multi-part vocals and an immediate connection with the audience.
The program features well-known rock, pop, soul and funk classics as well as special gems from music history.
So that the concert can also be properly toasted, select wines and trendy cocktails will be on the drinks menu that evening, and after the concert there will be „Brass Machine up close" - a meet & greet with the band.
Doors open at 7 p.m., with the concert beginning at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the Stadthalle Landstuhl, Thalia Kaiserslautern, Bunter Hund Weilerbach and Otterberg or online at die-pfalz-feiert.de.
