An Unconventional Sound in the Heart of the City
The Ukulele Death Squad has made an international name for itself by completely overturning the traditional image of the ukulele, which is often perceived as gentle and harmless. With a blend of Flamenco, Punk, Ska, and Folk, the band delivers fast-paced rhythms and an energetic performance that regularly gets the audience moving. The appearance in Jena is part of their current European tour.
Background on the Jenaer Kulturarena
The Kulturarena Jena is one of the most traditional and successful summer festivals in Thüringen. Since its founding in 1992, the multi-week open-air event has transformed the Jenaer Theatervorplatz in July and August into a vibrant stage for international artists from the fields of world music, pop, jazz, and theater. The festival attracts tens of thousands of visitors to the city center annually.
The Theatervorplatz is optimally connected to public transport. Concert visitors can use the tram lines to the “Universität” or “Löbdergraben” stops, from where the event grounds can be reached within a few minutes on foot. For drivers, the surrounding city center parking garages are available.
