Alphaville

Alphaville, a cult group, was founded in 1983 in Münster by Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens. Thanks to hits such as "Big in Japan", "Sounds Like a Melody" and "Forever Young", the group became one of Germany's most iconic and most popular bands of the 1980s.

After releasing seven more studio albums and touring around the world, the group made a comeback in the German charts in 2010 with the album "Catching Rays On Giant", driven by the single "I Die For You Today", which reached the top 10.

In 2022, with its triple symphonic album "Eternally Yours", the group once again reached the top 5 of the charts. This success was followed by a series of sold-out concerts with the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg.

To celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2024, the group released "Forever! Best of 40 Years", a compilation whose track selection was made by the fans.

Meanwhile, "Forever Young" enjoyed a renewed worldwide popularity: the track went viral on TikTok, reached number one on the Billboard charts and received a new version by David Guetta, Alphaville and Ava Max. In 2025, Alphaville received the European Prize for Culture.

With concerts scheduled until 2026 and a new studio album in preparation, Alphaville is setting its sights on new horizons, with its current line-up: Marian Gold (vocals), Carsten Brocker (keyboards), Alexandra Merl (bass), David Goodes (guitar), Jakob Kiersch (drums).
