Paco Agency launches new concert series

Munich-based promoter Paco Agency has launched a new concept concert series, Music and Stories, combining live performances with behind-the-scenes interviews.

The promoter’s new concept tour kicks off in January 2020, featuring shows from UK rock bands Uriah Heep, Nazareth and Wishbone Ash. All three acts will perform a full set at each tour date, which will be hosted by Andy Scott from British rock group Sweet.

The concert series will visit venues in 14 German cities, including Hamburg’s Sporthalle (7,000-cap.), Frankfurt’s Jahrhunderthalle, Tempodrom (3,500) in Berlin and Hannover’s 5,500-capacity Swiss Life Hall.

Live backstage footage of the bands will be broadcast to the audience during the concerts and behind-the-scenes photos by Didi Zill will be exhibited in the foyers of respective tour venues, in cooperation with Munich Rock Museum.

The promoter hopes to make the tour an annual occurrence and “a regular highlight in the event calendar”.

Paco Agency had it biggest summer so far last year, promoting tours by King Crimson, Nickelback, Hollywood Vampires and Alice Cooper in Germany.
