“089 Kult” - the Munich cult ball
089 KULT is the really real Munich carnival party with Munich originals LIVE. Who doesn't know the legendary Monaco Franze?! Pfeffer-Franzi liked to party as the Lord of the Seven Seas or Charly from the Munich stories. Things really get going on Rose Monday. With the premiere of 089 KULT: Together with the radio station of the same name (089 landline code for Munich), the Munich Spider Murphy Gang and the Munich original Willy Michl will be the star guests to create the atmosphere with music. You can also experience the Cagey Strings, Roland Hefter and the band Los Poppos live. The cabaret artist Moses Wolff will provide a heavenly Munich performance.
Spider-Musi - THE SOUNDTRACK OF OUR CITY
The Spider Murphy Gang has been the Munich music authority for over 45 years. So who could fit the motto “089 Cult” better? Dancing and singing along to the reißers means “Scandal in the Restricted Area”, “Schickeria” and “Summer in the City”. The Spiders have created musical monuments to our beautiful city of Munich, which to this day describe the attitude to life and the love of Munich residents for their place. So get out the “Rock’n’Roll Shoes”!!!
