5th Avenue

Real, energetic classic hard
rock from the Waterkant:
authentic, straight forward,
honest. That's what the eight
Hamburg boys and girls
from 5th Avenue stand for.

They can call themselves a
“cult band”

, ... the “best live

band in Hamburg”
, ...
according to Metal-Hammer
even “one of the best
Wacken acts”. In fact, they
are the only band from the
line-up of the very first
Wacken Open Air in 1990
that still exists today and has

appeared at the now world-
famous metal festival

numerous other acclaimed
times. There are also various
shows and international
tours with various greats in
rock history, including
STATUS QUO, PLAN B,
SAXON, D-A-D, DORO and

the HOOTERS.

In 2016,

“Last Greetings from the
Petting Zoo” was released, the
first album on which 5th Avenue
combined their best twelve rock
hymns to date from the band's
earlier and more recent history.
The release of the next album is
planned for 2025 - long overdue
and eagerly awaited - the
production of which had to be
postponed several times due to
the corona pandemic.

5th Avenue was originally
founded in 1989. In the 90s, the
band landed a major deal with
Polydor and recorded their first
album at the legendary
Goodnight LA Studios in Los
Angeles. However, only the
commercially successful single
"Luka"

, a cover of Suzanne Vega's
hit, was released before the band
unexpectedly broke up in 1996. It
wasn't until 2012 that they got
back together with a partly old,
partly new line-up - and with a
more mature sound they
continued what they had started

much earlier.
