Skunk Anansie - Tonhalle Munich

On the hottest day of the year, Skunk Anansie unleash a storm over Munich. For two hours the Brits set the Tonhalle on fire - and at temperatures that are really crying out for a cool-down, they turn it up another notch.

24 July 2019, one of the hottest days on record. You would urgently need to cool down. Skin and her three bandmates in Skunk Anansie saw things differently - and cranked up the heat even further. Massively.

An earthquake called Skin

Lucky the band that can open with a crusher like "Charlie Big Potato". Wrapped in an outfit reminiscent of a shredded emergency blanket, the earthquake that is Skin sweeps through the Tonhalle with her band. The storm lasts for 23 songs and well over two hours.

Even during the quiet songs, it feels as if Skin is blow-drying your hair all over again.

Skin - one of the most charismatic frontwomen of our time

Alongside hits like "Weak" and "Hedonism", the set also included the then brand-new single "What You Do for Love". What began 25 years ago culminated in the "25live@25" tour - and can hardly be topped for charisma, talent and sheer energy.
