KORD is not an artist who chooses the easy path. An aircraft mechanic by day, a songwriter with attitude by night. His music is honest, edgy and full of energy – carried by a voice that tugs as much as it touches. ‘Make a mistake the second time, maybe I’ll never stop’ – anyone who sings like that means it. His debut single ‘Zigaretten & Benzinkanister’ has exactly this forward thrust: a sound of drums with emphasis, guitars with dirt and lines that hit the mark. KORD also stands for what music can be about live: Authenticity, presence, friction. In addition to the new single, the shows will also feature songs such as ‘Bleibst du?’, which show KORD’s melancholic side – and the sound between departure and doubt, between defiance and melancholy. KORD is one of us – and yet someone you won’t forget. Someone who is controversial, gets up and moves on. Someone who burns. Come along if you want to see what that sounds like. On 25 October 2025, KORD will bring his unadorned indie rock back to where it all began: Cologne. The musician from Niederkassel will be playing a home game at Helios 37 – direct, loud and up close.
