Nightmares On Wax will perform at Knust on August 6, 2026. The group, originating from Leeds, England, is known for its downtempo electronic music, often categorized as trip-hop or chillwave. Their sound incorporates elements of jazz, funk, soul, and dub, frequently featuring vocal samples and a relaxed, atmospheric quality. Formed in the late 1980s, Nightmares On Wax gained prominence throughout the 1990s with albums like “Operation: Deep Space” and “Smoker’s Delight,” becoming influential figures in the developing electronic music scene.

Knust (Kultur- und Veranstaltungszentrum Knust) is a well-established concert venue located in the St. Pauli district of Hamburg, Germany. Originally a warehouse built in 1972, it was repurposed into a cultural center in the early 1990s following occupation by squatters who aimed to create an independent cultural space. It has since become a recognized part of Hamburg’s music landscape hosting diverse acts across genres including rock, indie, electronic and reggae. The venue is characterized by its industrial aesthetic and relatively intimate setting offering close proximity to performers.
