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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Super amazing concert from a very underrated band.
by Hector on 12/11/22Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaVenue was accomodating with open spaces for easy transit between areas. Security was top notch and personnel were very friendly. Stage area had nice visibility and both,opening act and headliner were amazing. Got to hear Yin.atl band for the first time and they were a pleasant surprise. Giant Rooks, I predict, will become a household name and the lucky ones will be able to catch they at these more intimate venues. I've seen concerts from established band like The Killers and ColdPlay, and this show has nothing to envy from those. They are that good.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Even better live!
by S. L. on 6/3/22I’ve seen them 5 times now in various venues and am always blown away by the stage presence and joy for music this group has. They seem so genuinely happy and grateful to be playing together and are even better live than on recordings!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Great show, less than great staff.
by FN on 5/13/22Bowery Ballroom - New YorkGiant Rooks are a must see. These guys are genuinely so talented and their energy fills up a room. The Bowery staff, on the other hand, were less than favorable and outright rude at times. It's hard to have a good time when the people working are bringing down the mood. I will not be coming back to this venue anytime soon.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Incredible Concert
by Andie K on 5/12/22Bowery Ballroom - New YorkThis was the first concert for Giant Rooks in the US and they absolutely rocked it! The venue was incredible and the concert overall was probably one of the best concerts I have ever been too! Looking forward to see Giant Rooks again!

by M. D. on 5/12/22Bowery Ballroom - New YorkWe flew in from Atlanta, GA for one night to see these guys perform on Monday, May 9th, and we were not disappointed. This group is absolutely phenomenal! We look forward to seeing them again at a Coliseum or Stadium!
Rating: 5 out of 5 It was AMAZING!
by T on 5/12/22Bowery Ballroom - New YorkThe venue was very chill, hung out in the lounge with a couple of drinks and when we went upstairs it wasn't a huge theater (which in my opinion is great). Totally wished we would've gotten there earlier to sit on the balcony but the standing was just fine. When the concert began- WOW. Not that I thought it was going to be lame/bad or anything but Giant Rooks exceeded any expectations I had about seeing them live. Love their music as played on their albums but hearing them Live is just 10000% better. Their performance was amazing and I want to go to all of their concerts. Will totally be seeing them again if I can get my hands on some tickets!
