Brings celebrated 35 years together with a rousing concert outside Cologne Cathedral, performing for around 5,000 fans.
The Kölsch rock band played hits including “Su lang mer noch am Lääve sin” and “Poppe, Kaate, Danze.” Stefan Raab joined the group for “Superjeile Zick,” the song that once brought Brings its breakthrough. Raab has known the band’s keyboard player, Kai Engel, since childhood.
Another surprise guest, Florian Silbereisen, came onstage for “Polka, Polka, Polka.”
The five-member band, led by brothers Peter and Stephan Brings, began in 1990 as a pure rock group. It soon became one of the leading acts supplying the atmosphere at Rhineland carnival celebrations. Its blend of rock and folk songs later made the musicians known across Germany.
