history is hardly over, when exciting news keep coming in for this season´s last show in Berlin. INCUBUS will headline the event on November 20th and complete the German leg of their European tour. Two more top acts are about to join the Californian Alternative-Combo on the Velodroms’ festival stage, they will be announced soon .
„If success is a drug, than Incubus is an efficient addict” says singer and front man Brandon Boyd himself, and he may so, for it´s not exaggerated. In more than 16 years Incubus became an important part of the alternative music elite through their own mixture of funk, metal, hip hop and alternative rock. The guys sold more than 15 Mil. albums and just released their 6th album after a 5-year-break (Germany #5. USA #2). While touring through Europe they consider the Telekom Playgrounds as one of the few stops of their German winter tour.
Since their debut S.C.I.E.N.C.E. (1997), the album „A Crow Left Of The Murder“ (2004) is their commercially most successful album, which made it into the Top 10 not only in the US but also in the UK and Germany. The successor „Light Grenades“ made it even at #1 in the US. If the band´s not touring on their own, they make themselves comfortable being welcomed guests on all festivals around the globe.
More promising news comes from the rider´s front: In the category Street, both title defender from last year are returning Phil Zwijsen (Skateboard) and Brett Banasiewicz (BMX)! On top, Brazilian skateboard pros Kelvin Hoefler Rodriguez and Rodolfo Ramos are expected as well. Confirmed is also the German BMX runner up 2010, Bruno Hoffman and the currently successful Alex Coleborn (UK).
To keep the high level of action for the world’s best skateboarder and BMX rider, the set up will be entirely reconstructed with a much bigger street track and better lines for both sports. Therefore, unfortunately, there is no more room for the halfpipe and the vert contests. But be sure that the boys will turn up their trick repertoire by a big notch and leave nobody unsatisfied.
