Zweierpasch transcend borders. With their rebellious hip-hop, the band led by twins Felix and Till shapes the scene in their own unique way. These boundary-crossers have proven this on tours throughout Africa, Asia, and Europe. Zweierpasch were named “Freiburg’s Band of the Year,” received the Adenauer-De Gaulle Prize at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Paris, and shared the stage with Udo Lindenberg and Nico Santos. In France, the frontmen from Freiburg and Strasbourg were knighted as “Knights of the Language.” Most recently, the crew toured the volcanic island of La Réunion, rocked the stage at the Eurovision Song Contest, and played to a sold-out crowd at the planetarium. In December 2025, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier awarded the musicians the Federal Cross of Merit.

International and political
Poetic-political messages meet melodic beats, soulful vocals meet “lighter-waving” moments, and a sweat-inducing live show. Guitar, drums, and trumpet mingle with synths and Auto-Tune. This thrills thousands at festivals, club shows, and school concerts. Together with young people, Zweierpasch writes bilingual songs and hosts the largest German-French song contest: the Ecole du Flow. Every year, they organize concert events at spectacular locations through the Unique Live Sessions and capture them in concert films: from “Lost Place” movie theaters to Strasbourg’s Tram D, to the legendary Hornisgrinde peak in the Black Forest and the boat Le Doubs in Strasbourg.
They call their commitment “Positive Rebellion”: critical, creative, constructive.
