At this year's Amphi-festival in Cologne, PERSEPHONE are located at the Theatre. From 17.30 to 18.40h they will be performing on stage.
Later that night you will have the chance to meet them at an autograph session which starts at 20.30h and ends at 21.20h.

Those who still don't know what to do tomorrow night might be interested in the concert at Castle of Kipfenberg. It starts at 20h, doors open at 19h.

PERSEPHONE are looking forward to see you!

Before PERSEPHONE will appear at this years Amphi-Festival they will stop at Castle of Kipfenberg to play a concert in strongly acoustic manner.

Whoever would have loved to - but could not - be part of such an extraordinary event may recognize Kipfenberg as the geographical center between Ingolstadt, Regensburg, Augsburg, Nürnberg & Munich. This is the perfect place to gather all those who surrendered due to a too long distance to drive to - the south of Germany definately doesn't offer a better place to summon guests who ever dared to take the experience of PERSEPHONE.

Doors open at 19h, the concert starts at 20h.
Tickets can be ordered online » here oder by phone:
0049 (0) 8465 / 905 707.

Due to illness sadly the concert at the Castle of Wernigerode this saturday 16th Oct has to be cancelled:

3 men failed briefly which makes it impossible for PERSEPHONE to perform. The concert will be catched up, the date will be pronounced as soon as possible.

Martin: "We are all very sad to cancel the show as we were really, really looking forward to it. Shortly before leaving those terrible news reached us. Tim even had to go to hospital and it seems as he wouldn't be able to play for some time. We wish him and the others all best an a quick recovery."

...to be more precisely at 18th, PERSEPHONE will be once again on stage. And the best is:
Not only does the Castle Of Kipfenstein look like being a refugee for witches, it even has its own tower built for them! And this is put in between the "Garden of the main keep"...
So, joining the perfect romance is just some clicks away:

The novel "Judassohn" (son of Judas) by author Markus Heitz will be firstly presented at the Leipziger Buchmesse 2010 (book fair Leipzig). To celebrate this release condignly there has been initiated a very special event:

Together with PERSEPHONE and dancer Asherah Latifa he will do a tour across Germany where reading, music and dance will enter a symbiosis.
But before things are ready for take-off there's still work to be done. Yesterday the author, dancer and the band met at PERSEPHONE's halls to work out details of this deeply conceptual work. This very creative and intense time they spent with each other made them all looking even more forward to the upcoming tour, starting at 20th March in Leipzig.

This means an event that not often will be going to happen - so surely you shouldn't miss it! Check the tourdates at the top of the page!
