Leonids

LEONIDEN announce their fourth album "Sophisticated Sad Songs" for 23.08.2024 with the new single "Never Never" and will embark on a European tour of the same name from October.

Anyone who has seen LEONIDEN live even once will remember them for a long time to come: surreally happy faces on and in front of the stage, broad sound backdrops, solidarity circle pits, somersaults, experimental synth contortions and circulating guitars. These special live moments have been at the heart of the band's DNA from the very beginning and have made LEONIDEN better, louder and better known from festival summer to festival summer.

With the new album "Sophisticated Sad Songs", LEONIDEN transform collective discomfort into collective happiness in seconds - the Leoniden paradox. The songs of the Kiel-based five-piece around Lennart and Felix Eicke, Jakob Amr, Marike Winkelmann and Djamin Izadi always seem to be shrouded in a veil of euphoria, are danceable to the max and predestined for the biggest possible stages. In direct contrast, the same pieces almost always convey negative, world-wearied thoughts on a lyrical level, just waiting to be drowned in a collective dance frenzy.

In the upcoming festival season, the quintet will once again climb across stages and get hundreds of individuals entangled in the mosh pit. Directly afterwards, LEONIDEN will embark on a tour of the same name with their new album "Sophisticated Sad Songs".
