Indie Band “Die Sterne” to Perform at Kassablanca in Autumn 2026

Jena, 09.04.2026. The renowned indie band „Die Sterne“ will stop in Jena during their upcoming tour. On October 28, 2026, the group led by frontman Frank Spilker will perform at Kassablanca, bringing their new studio album with them.

New Album and Alternating Lead Vocals

For over three decades, Frank Spilker has shaped the German indie scene with his unique musical language. On the upcoming tour, he will be supported by a partially newly formed band: Philipp Janzen and Phillip Tielsch, both known from the Krautrock formation „Von Spar,“ as well as Cuban-American keyboardist Dyan Valdés (formerly of „The Blood Arm“) complete the current line-up.

The new album „Wenn Es Liebe Ist“ bridges the gap between driving pop and edgy post-punk. The band is also experimenting with multilingualism. A special feature of the new record: on two tracks, Spilker hands the microphone to keyboardist Dyan Valdés, who takes over lead vocals. Having celebrated their old hits on the 2024 album „Grandezza,“ the band is now consistently focusing their musical direction forward again.

Background: The Kassablanca in Jena

The Kassablanca, usually referred to by Jena locals as „Kassa,“ has been one of the city’s most important cultural institutions since the 1990s. Located directly at the Westbahnhof, the club regularly hosts concerts by national and international artists, electronic club nights, and various subcultural events in its distinctive premises (including the well-known tower). Due to its proximity to the station, the venue is also easily accessible by regional trains for concertgoers from the surrounding area.
