Pure party atmosphere in the Cuvéehof of Johannesberg Castle in the Rheingau. With hits like “Celebration“, “Fresh”, “Get Down On It”, “Joanna“, “Jungle Boogie” and “Ladies’ Night” Kool & the Gang have influenced the music of several generations. On 27 June they made their debut at the Rheingau Music Festival.
With a mixture of jazz, funk and R’n’B, the cult band climbed the pop Olympus in the 1970s and 80s. For more than 50 years the brothers Ronald and Robert “Kool” Bell have been touring with their gang, selling more than 70 million records, collecting two Grammy Awards, being one of the most sampled bands of all time and having a star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame.
For their debut at the Rheingau Music Festival, Kool & the Gang had all the hits in their luggage, but also new songs that show that they have arrived with their unmistakable sound in the now. The band continues their world tour and recently played alongside renowned artists such as Kid Rock, Dave Matthews Band, Elton John, The Roots and rock band Van Halen.jwm
