#BDS: Anarchy über alles

Veteran German punk band Die Toten Hosen played their first-ever Tel Aviv gig.

On the 20th anniversary of German reunification, earlier this week, the country’s most successful German-singing band did not perform in Berlin, Hamburg or Munich. Die Toten Hosen instead chose to play in Israel for the first time in its 28-year career.
“It’s a special and unique moment, especially for us as a German band. It took us a long time to finally come, and while every time playing in a new country is something special, playing in Israel is really something else,” frontman Campino said to Haaretz. The punk group performed Sunday night at Tel Aviv’s Barby Club to an audience of several hundred that included an 86-year-old Holocaust survivor.
