About

Giant Rooks, founded in 2015 by two cousins and three friends in a rehearsal room in Hamm, is probably the most promising band Germany has had in a long time. Their accomplishments so far are impressive and multiple. Their monthly listeners on Spotify are in the millions, and they've brought venues from all over the world to maximum capacity, like House of Blues (San Diego), and stages in Rome to Paris to Manchester. In Germany, they play venues that other artists only play after 15 years of constant touring.

Between 2015 and 2019, the five-piece played more than 350 shows and established their reputation as an extraordinary live act. Last year they released their internationally acclaimed debut album "ROOKERY" and it entered the German charts at #3. The 12-song album, including the radio hits "Wild Stare" and "Watershed", is a powerful artistic statement that highlights the diverse and rich musical palette of the band. Their Kanye- esque hip hop beats, song structures drawn from the Bob Dylan archives, and soundscapes dripping with the seductive qualities of Bon Iver, all work together to create a modern and unique sound born out of their desire to not be pigeon-holed into one genre. They also released "Rookery Live Tapes" in June 2021, an EP full of beautifully stripped- down versions of songs from their debut album.

    I love the Giant Rooks ❤️

    by Maddie on 4/23/24The Underground - Charlotte

    This band is absolutely amazing. They truly deserve to be a well known band. This was my second time seeing them live (the first was when they opened for Louis Tomlinson in Charlotte). The energy they bring to the stage is incredible and I can’t wait to see them again.

    10/10

    by Amber on 4/23/24The Underground - Charlotte

    I saw Giant Rooks for the first time when I saw Louis back in Charlotte last year. As soon as GR performed I instantly fell in love. Their stage presence hit the roof for me! They interact with their fans and knows how to keep a show going. They actually came out to meet some fans! I even met Finn! Some of the GR fans were a bit rude but there were a lot that were SO nice and made the experience better. I hope GR comes back to the US soon! I miss them already.

    one of the most incredible experiences of my life

    by julia on 4/20/24The Underground - Charlotte

    i followed giant rooks for four north american shows from nyc - charlotte. i can’t get enough of this band. they are literal rockstars, and so lovely in every way. i am trying to do anything i can to see them for more shows even if i have to travel across the world to germany for it. these shows are absolutely addictive, the vibes are fantastic, and i simply cannot stop thinking about those shows and how much i wish i could go back. not only is every song a literal work of art, the band members and team are too !! the (very handsome) band have so much stage presence and yet are so genuine and friendly when off the stage. the photographer, managers, opening acts, every single one of those people are incredible. talented, fun, thoughtful, and just absolute joys to interact with. even the crowd is usually happy and agreeable. i made so many friends at these shows and feel so honored to have experienced these concerts. i’ve been to more concerts than i can count these past few years but this one is definitely among the greatest. please, for the love of god, go to a giant rooks show and you will be so glad you did. with regards to one show in particular, i’d like to make a shout out as well. jelani m, the live nation security for the show at the underground in charlotte, made the experience even more amazing. he was so kind and helpful, extremely accommodating and understanding. never in my life have i been to a concert with such a good-hearted, competent, and compassionate head of security like him. he worked with us rather than against us, which is a breath of fresh air and so appreciated. at the same time, he meant business, and whenever something needed to be addressed, he did so promptly, skillfully, and fairly. jelani m truly represents the joy that is a live music experience as he makes it clear that artists, concertgoers, and staff are all united by their shared passion for live performances. we can work together and have the most magical concert experiences as long as we all treat eachother with compassion the way jelani does. so thank you very much to him !! in short, buy the concert ticket. this one is unforgettable. you’ll never know how much a concert can change your life until you get home afterwards and wonder how you even lived beforehand. just make sure to line up another concert for shortly after to take the edge off the post-concert depression.

    Amazing energy!!

    by Krista on 4/20/24The Underground - Charlotte

    Giant Rooks is one of my favorite bands to see live. They bring such great energy and put in a fun show! I've seen them 3x, all different venues types. I will say, the shows are best if the venue has a decent size stage. Fred is super high energy, running around, and plays multiple instruments as part of the show. They have great crowd interaction and do a great job moving around so you can see your favorite band members no matter which side you are on. This last venue I saw them at (The Underground in Charlotte) the stage was really small. The show was still great, but I did notice they looked pretty cramped up there compared to other venues I've seen them at. Fred's voice is so unique and rich, i love listening to it. These guys are pretty new to the music scene here in the states but they deserve to be huge. Great song writing, live performances, and super cool, down to earth guys!

    BEST. SHOW. EVER. 🤩

    by Abby N. on 4/20/24

    I went to the April 17th show in Charlotte, NC and it was the best night of my life! All 5 guys have such amazing energies on stage and it’s so fun to witness. Fred is an AMAZING vocalist and I am convinced that he could sing anything and I would sit there and listen in astonishment. I first saw them when they opened for Louis Tomlinson when he came to Charlotte in July last year. I fell in love with them the moment they walked on stage and started playing their music. There is a quality within all of the guys that I can’t explain. It’s so intriguing to get to be a fan and get the love and explore this band on so many different levels from the lyrics to the melodies to the bass lines to everything! If you are thinking about listening to them… DO IT! If you are contemplating buying tickets and going to a show… DO IT! You will not regret it!

    Don’t Miss This Incredible Show!

    by LongHaul on 4/20/249:30 CLUB - Washington

    A super charismatic frontman with exquisite vocals, incredible musicianship across all band members, genre-spanning songwriting with gorgeous lyrics, wildly catchy song structure, and arena-worthy anthems combine for next-level showmanship that elevates the tremendous, brilliant talent. With ten years together as Giant Rooks and 20 years since cousins Fred and Finn started their first band at age 8, they’ve perfected a synergy on stage that feels both incredibly tight and endlessly fun. Between the epic sing-alongs, the band’s interactions with the crowd, and the visceral joy of their performances, everyone walks away feeling like you’ve all just had the best night of your lives. Giant Rooks are maybe the best band touring today and solidly deserve a spot among the all time greats. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS SHOW

    Giant Rooks, More Like Giants Of Rock

    by Starla on 4/17/249:30 CLUB - Washington

    This was my first time at the 9:30 Club, and it was also Giant Rooks' first DC show ever! The energy from the second they stepped onstage to the second they said goodnight was absolutely electrifying. Fred, Luca, Jonny, Finn S. and Finn T. put on such an incredible show that by the end of the night I felt like I was on top of the world and now, 3 days later, I'm still coming down from the excitement. Their opening act, Friedberg, was another stellar performance full of great energy, beautiful songs, and amazing performers that I can't wait to hear more from in the coming years. By and large THE best concert I've ever been to in my 24 years. I'm incredibly excited to see what comes next for both groups

    AMAZING NIGHT!

    by Brett on 4/17/249:30 CLUB - Washington

    I found Giant Rooks on TikTok and quickly became obsessed with their sound. The concert was BETTER than I could have ever imagined. Fred’s voice is as pure in real life as it is on track. It was an electric night with high energy and a warm feeling. It was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to a LOT of concerts. The room was welcoming and you could tell every single person was enjoying themselves. The band brought such a high energy!
