Walter Trout live in Rostock

Experience Walter Trout live on November 8th

Walter Trout, an American blues guitarist and singer-songwriter, is scheduled to perform at Zwischenbau in Rostock, Germany on November 8, 2026. Trout’s music is deeply rooted in the blues tradition, but incorporates elements of rock, soul, and jazz, often characterized by emotive vocals and expressive guitar playing. He gained prominence after a lengthy tenure with Canned Heat in the 1980s and has since established a successful solo career spanning several decades, releasing over twenty albums. His work frequently explores themes of personal struggle and redemption.

Zwischenbau is a historically significant venue located in Rostock’s city center. Originally constructed as a warehouse in the late 19th century during the Hanseatic League era, it served various industrial purposes throughout the 20th century. Following German reunification, it was repurposed as a cultural center in the early 1990s. The venue is known for its raw, industrial aesthetic – retaining much of its original brickwork and structural elements – and its focus on alternative and independent music genres including rock, punk, electronic music and blues. It hosts both established acts and emerging artists and is recognized as an important part of Rostock's cultural landscape.
