    HANDS UP FOR H-BLOCKX

    The wait is over: The H-Blockx are also coming back in 2023!

    In a terrific festival season this year with brilliant, highly energetic live shows, the band finally celebrated their 30th stage anniversary in a fitting manner.

    The musicians from Münster feel most comfortable on stage and that’s where they belong!

    The fact that the audience celebrates the H-Blockx themselves, their numerous hits and the thrilling action on stage to such an extent could hardly have been dreamed of by the H-Blockx themselves. The beginning has been made and now there is no turning back.

    In 2023, the H-Blockx will attack again and continue the festivities around the round birthday. Since their debut album “Time to Move”, which was released in the mid-90s, the rock band around singer Henning Wehland has celebrated great successes with mega hits like “Risin’ High”, “Little Girl”, “Move”, “Ring Of Fire” and “How Do You Feel” and can call awards like the MTV Europe Music Award, Viva Comet and various gold records their own.

    The H-Blockx are one of Germany’s most successful rock bands and live acts, and were considered an insider tip in the German rock landscape early on after their formation. This is also proven by the chart position of their debut album “Time to Move”, which not only won the award for German Album of the Year with 62 chart weeks, but also reached gold status with over 750,000 copies sold.

    Among the other milestones is also the 1999 released soundtrack to the German-language cult action comedy “Bang Boom Bang – ein todsicheres Ding”, which even gave the five Westphalians a brief appearance on the big screen and not to forget various US tours with well-known artists such as Eminem, Ice-T, Blink-182 or Biohazard.

    The last album “HBLX” was released in 2012 and after the longest live abstinence in the band’s history from 2015-2019, the Münster-based band returned to the stage in the summer of 2022 to celebrate 30 years on stage. After a long break, fans get the chance to experience the founding members Henning Wehland, Stephan “Gudze” Hinz, Tim “Tinte” Tenambergen as well as Steffen Wilmking, who has been a constant part of the band since 2003, live and to feel the power that made the H-Blockx become a primeval rock of the German music landscape…and maybe they also have one or two new songs in their luggage!

    Barock stand for pure rock and roll! 

    Three years ago we have already booked the famous ACDC cover band but there was us and you a line through the bill. Last year they unfortunately didn’t have time. That’s why we are even more happy to welcome the mega tribute band this year at the Jokerfest.

    It’s for sure that ACDC is the most covered band in the world, but it’s said that no one is as accurate as Barock.

    Tickets are available from 01.02.2023

    FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

    How can I pay for food and drink at Jokerfest?

    Jokerfest has its own money, the Thunderbike Dollar. This can be purchased and exchanged at easily recognizable points of sale. The Thunderbike Dollars are only issued at the Jokerfest, but can be used all year at the Thunderbike Roadhouse.

    Does the daily program cost entry?

    No, entry between 10 am and 5 pm is free. A ticket is only required for the evening concert.

    Can I reserve/reserve tickets for the evening event?

    No, unfortunately for organisational reasons it is impossible for us to check tickets at the entrance in good time. In order to avoid longer waiting times, we cannot offer reservations.

    Where can I get the concert ribbons?

    The ribbons can be exchanged for tickets throughout the day. The wristbands will be exchanged at the regular entrance from about 6 pm on. This also applies to the VIP wristbands, which allow access to the Roadhouse roof terrace.

    Are there any discounts for fan club members of the bands?

    No.

    I am not yet of age, but I can still come to the Jokerfest?

    Children up to the age of 16 are only allowed to attend the concert accompanied by a guardian. For young people aged 16 and over, admission to the concert after midnight will be granted without the accompaniment of a person with custody. We naturally comply with the provisions of the Youth Protection Act. This means that if you have a youthful appearance, your identity card will be checked at the alcohol counter if necessary.

     What do disabled visitors have to pay attention to?

    Visitors with disabilities who have an official ID with a B receive a free ticket for their accompanying person, while their own ticket has to be paid for regularly. Only one accompanying person is allowed. We also have on-site parking spaces for people with disabilities close to the site.

     Are there any special safety requirements?

    Of course, the carrying of weapons of any kind is strictly prohibited. Any danger to other visitors, in particular by crowd surfing or burning fireworks / Bengalos, is strictly prohibited and will lead to the exclusion of the event. With the exclusion the ticket loses its validity. Any claim for re-entry or reimbursement of the purchase price is excluded.

    Where can I park my bike?

    For the parking areas at the yard and the large parking at the Güterstraße we provide parking folders for you, which will show you how to park your bike.

    Where can I park my car?
