Franz Ferdinand

European Tour 2025

Franz Ferdinand are not only one of the UK's most successful bands of the last 20 years, they are also one of the last remaining bastions of the huge wave of new UK bands that swept the world with fresh rock sounds at the start of the new millennium.

Not only throughout Europe, but also in North America and even Asia, Franz Ferdinand have been recognised for years as an enormously stylistically confident guarantor of rock music that is as danceable as it is sophisticated. With each of their five albums to date, the band around singer, guitarist and mastermind Alex Kapranos has developed substantially without losing sight of their typical trademarks - edgy staccato guitars, driving beats, instantly catchy hook lines and a rarely magical energy between melancholic compositions and a euphoric, life-affirming attitude. Founded in 2002 as a quartet, the band has never simply copied these sound aesthetics, but rather adapted them and changed them with each album with the help of constantly changing and complementary genres such as noise rock, disco or pop. Franz Ferdinand have thus achieved something that is rarely found in today's rock world: To be both substantial and compatible with the masses, while constantly evolving and yet remaining unmistakable. On top of that, they are almost single-handedly responsible for the global renaissance of the post-punk of the late seventies and the new wave of the early eighties.
