About this concert
Starsailor (UK)CELEBRATING FRESH ARRANGEMENTS OF BELOVED HITSWenn es für euch überraschend ist, dass Starsailor ihr 25-jähriges Bestehen feiern, dann ist es auch für die Band selbst ziemlich unerwartet. „Das Jubiläum hat sich ein bisschen angeschlichen“, gibt Sänger James Walsh zu. „Abgesehen von einer vierjährigen Pause ab 2010, in der wir keine Musik als Band gemacht haben, waren wir die restlichen 21 Jahre fleissig bei der Sache. In gewisser Weise fühlt sich unser Beginn wie gestern an. Wir sind viel getourt und haben versucht, unsere Songs für unsere Fans lebendig zu halten.“ Seitdem das Quartett um die Jahrtausendwende mit leidenschaftlichen Hymnen wie Fever, Good Souls und Alcoholic von ihrem klassischen Debütalbum Love Is Here auf sich aufmerksam machte, hat es bewegende Songs voller Schönheit geschaffen. Es ist klar, dass Starsailor sich sowohl als Band wie auch als Menschen weiterentwickelt haben, seit sie in der Post-Britpop-Landschaft, gemeinsam mit gleichgesinnten wie Elbow, Coldplay, Turin Brakes und Doves auftauchten. Dennoch braucht eine Band, die die letzten 25 Jahre unbeschadet überstanden hat, einen Kern aus Stahl und eine unerschütterliche Verbindung. 25 Jahre nach ihrer Gründung feiert die Band das Jubiläum mit einer grossen Tour. „Wir wollten es uns mit dem Jubiläum nicht zu leicht machen“, erklärt Walsh. „Wir möchten etwas Besonderes machen, dass uns kreativ fordert, sodass es nicht nur darum geht, in die Vergangenheit zurückkehren. Diese frischen Arrangements der alten Songs bilden das perfekte Gleichgewicht zwischen alt und neu.“ Am 15. Oktober 2025 spielen Starsailor ein Konzert im Plaza. Unser Herz schlägt voller Vorfreude im Four To The Floor- Rhythmus, passend zum gleichnamigen Starsailor-Klassiker.

Starsailor Biography
A rock quartet heralded on the release of their debut single, "Fever," in February 2001 as "Britain's best new band," Starsailor has continued the rich lineage of its predecessors such as Travis, Stereophonics and many others. Formed in Wigan, UK by music students James Walsh (vocals/guitar), James Stelfox (bass), and Ben Byrne (drums), the band went through several guitar-heavy embryonic lineups before the arrival of Barry Westhead (keyboards) cemented their sound.
Influenced by Tim Buckley (whose 1970 album gave the band their name), Van Morrison, and Neil Young, they played their first London show at the Heavenly Social in April 2000. At the same time, a demo tape containing the tracks "Fever," "Coming Down," and "Love Is Here" began circulating rapidly around the music industry. By the summer there was a queue of record companies to sign the nascent band. EMI won the race for their signature. After spending January 2001 on an NME-sponsored tour with JJ72 and Amen, Starsailor released their debut single, "Fever," to unanimous critical praise.
A sold-out headline U.K. tour at the end of March preceded the release of their second single, "Good Souls," in April. Once again it was ecstatically received and reached the Top 20. As the single was released, the band went to Wales to record their debut album. They re-emerged in June to begin a summer of festival appearances sandwiched between an American tour supporting Doves and a couple of headline dates of their own.
After achieving their first U.K. Top Ten hit with the single "Alcoholic," Starsailor's debut album, Love Is Here, was released in September 2001 to much critical fanfare, and a European tour closed out a highly successful year. The following year kicked off with the American release of Love Is Here in January, and a few weeks on the road for a brief North American tour, ending with a performance at the SXSW festival in March. Their sophomore album, Silence Is Easy, followed in 2004.
Starsailor released their third album, On The Outside, in the UK on 17 October 2005 along with the first single from the album, "In The Crossfire".
Their song, "Way To Fall" was featured (during the ending sequence) in the blockbuster Playstation 2 video game, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Currently, Starsailor is working on their fourth album, of which they played one song at the Blue Balls Festival in Switzerland, on the 21st of July 07.
