Bonnie "Prince" Billy live in Hamburg

Experience Bonnie "Prince" Billy live on August 10th

Will Oldham, performing as Bonnie “Prince” Billy, is scheduled to appear at Kampnagel in Hamburg, Germany on August 10, 2026. Oldham’s musical output is generally categorized as alternative country or folk, though it frequently incorporates elements of experimental music, noise, and traditional balladry. His work is characterized by often stark lyrical content, a distinctive vocal delivery, and a deliberately lo-fi aesthetic despite periods of more polished production. He has released albums under numerous monikers throughout his career, including Palace Music and The For Carnation.

Kampnagel is a renowned independent performing arts center located in the Winterhude district of Hamburg. Established in 1980, it occupies the former workshops of the Hamburger Hochbahn (Hamburg public transport company), retaining much of its industrial character. The venue focuses on contemporary theatre, dance, performance art and music – particularly experimental and cross-genre projects – and actively supports emerging artists alongside established names. It’s known for its diverse programming and commitment to artistic freedom. Kampnagel doesn't have a fixed stage; performances often utilize the flexible spaces within the former depot halls and outdoor areas depending on the production’s needs.
