DIE PRETTY MAIDS KOMMEN ZURÜCK NACH PRATTELN

We love the Pretty Maids - and the Pretty Maids love the Z7! The Danes have become an important part of the Z7 family over the years. In October 2024, we will celebrate a big reunion: The rock legends from Horsens are coming to Pratteln for a mega-exclusive show. This is not only the first club concert in six long years, but also the only club show outside of Scandinavia. Band founders Ken Hammer and Ronnie Atkins will blast us with a fine selection of their greatest hits and can finally present songs from their latest album "Undress Your Madness" live!

There was radio silence from the Pretty Maids for five years. But in summer 2024, singer Ronnie Atkins and guitarist Ken Hammer returned to the stage for a few selected festival shows after the longest break of their careers. The brilliant duo has a long shared history. 43 years ago, the Pretty Maids set out on their victorious journey around the world from the port city of Horsens. Today, the band is a stable presence and one of the most popular formations in the global hard and heavy scene. However, in 2019, fans were confronted with shocking news. Due to Ronnie Atkins' cancer diagnosis, all concerts had to be canceled until further notice. The band had to take a long break, also due to the Corona pandemic. "We would have preferred to decide this on our own and not because of the things that hit us, but it was still good for us," Ken Hammer reflects. "Ronnie and I were together for around 200 days a year for more than 40 years, and we never took it easy. I have never been with another person as intensely and as often as with him. And that can take its toll when both are running at full speed all the time. A little distance can work wonders." Last year, the two band leaders reconciled. And they are more ready than ever to celebrate their hard rock and metal anthems together with the eagerly awaiting fans. "Today, we have a good feeling that our batteries are recharged and just waiting to be released in the most magnificent way to the world," says Hammer. "Of course, we have also gotten a bit older, but rock 'n' roll keeps people young forever, and we will play our concerts with full steam again." In summer, there were already first festival shows, now it’s back to the big clubs and halls. For the exclusive gig at Z7, the musicians have put together a setlist that will make all fans sit up and take notice. Numerous highlights from four decades of Pretty Maids and some rare treats will be celebrated. We can hardly wait!
