Chaos and a Dancing Star: Marc Almond beim Elevate-Finale

Zum Abschluss des Elevate Festivals wurde das Grazer Orpheum zur Bühne für einen der großen Außenseiter des Mainstream-Pop: Marc Almond. Ein Best-of aus vier Jahrzehnten Musik und eine große Portion Melodramatik erwiesen sich als wirksames Mittel gegen die Festivalerschöpfung.

The Joy Of Becoming Worthless – Except To Each Other

#Hopecore ist wahrscheinlich das Schlagwort des diesjährigen Diskursprogramms beim Elevate Festival. Über Dominanzfantasien der Tech-Bros und warum der viel besprochene Vibe Shift auch ein guter sein kann.

In the evening at the Orpheum, the Closing Elevate Concert begins at 19:00 with Mama Feelgood & Mr. Farmer, followed by Maria Somerville.

At 21:30, Soft Cell legend Marc Almond takes to the stage for the festival’s final set. As the voice of the iconic duo Soft Cell, Almond played a pivotal role in shaping music history with his minimalist yet emotionally charged synth-pop. Cult classics like Tainted Love blend dark romanticism, urban edge, and irresistible melodic hooks. His set promises a mix of Soft Cell favourites alongside material from his acclaimed solo career.
