Zwischenmiete sets the mood with "Pop am Ring" on three evenings in Paderborn city centre
Once again this year, the "Zwischenmiete" event organised by students at Paderborn University will offer up-and-coming and established artists an extraordinary stage. Under the motto "Pop am Ring", a PaderSprinter articulated bus will be transformed into a concert venue on three Thursdays, 18 January, 25 January and 1 February, inviting you to a very special event in the city centre. The concerts start at 7 p.m., admission to the bus is from 6.30 p.m. each time. For the start of the event series, the bus will be prominently positioned on the cathedral/market square in Paderborn city centre. The locations for the second and third events will be announced on Instagram and Facebook one week before the event. The Paderborn student band "takeaways" will perform on the first concert evening with an appealing mix of garage/punk rock and quieter indie influences. In addition, the newcomer band "Amber" from Bielefeld will perform their music on the bus with a unique combination of wave, emo, shoegaze and post-punk.
It continues on 25 January with an indie night: the band "animat" mixes dreamy pop sounds with singer-songwriter folk from the 1960s, while "the glitch youth" presents indie pop that is characterised by effect-laden guitars, melodic vocals and an underlay of atmospheric synth pads.
The third concert on 1 February will be dedicated to rap. The highlight of this evening is the performance by "Goldy.mp3", an up-and-coming rapper from Bremen who has found her signature sound in the combination of synthesiser elements, sung harmonies and chopped samples. As support, a rap stage will be set up on the bus, where artists who have responded to a call for entries can demonstrate their musical talent.
The format, created by the student council of the Popular Music and Media degree programme, is intended to give artists the opportunity to present themselves and their work and showcase the diversity of the Paderborn rap scene. The events are organised in cooperation between Zwischenmiete, the city of Paderborn and the PaderSprinter. Admission to all three concerts is free, tickets for the first concert are available online. Tickets for the other concerts will follow. This will also be announced on social media.
"Pop am Ring" is a project of the successful student event series "Zwischenmiete" in Paderborn, which was created in 2017 through a cooperation between the City of Paderborn (Cultural Office of the City of Paderborn) and the Master's degree programmes Media Studies and Popular Music and Media at Paderborn University and is made possible by funding from the City of Paderborn. The aim is to develop a pop culture programme by students for students and other Paderborn residents and to implement it at unusual locations in the city. The students will be led by Dr Dominik Nösner and Philip Kersting. Further information on the format can be found on the project website.
