Music Acts 2023 - Hamburg Harley Days

Nazareth

The pioneers of hard rock are undoubtedly considered one of the most important rock bands worldwide. The band was founded in 1968 in Scotland and stormed the international charts with top hits like “Broken Down Angel”, “Turn On Your Receiver”, “Dream On” or the rock ballad “Love Hurts”. Half a century and over 20 million albums sold later, Nazareth released their 25th studio album, “Surviving The Law”, last year. This was already made under the current line-up, consisting of Jimmy Murrison (long-serving Nazareth guitarist in the band’s history), Lee Agnew (drummer since 1999), Pete Agnew (bassist, founding member) and Carl Sentance (singer since 2015). The band, which has always defied all musical trends and thus pursued its path unflinchingly, has always inspired a huge number of loyal fans, but also legends of rock music, who have already released many cover versions of Nazareth songs.

Knuckle Head

Knuckle Head are known for their massive sound called “Dark Country” with influences from blues, country but also hard rock and metal. The band as well as their diverse sound is made up of Jack and Jock, who released their first album called “II” (two) in 2019. At the latest since the release of their second album “Holsters & Rituals”, the duo from France reached international attention. Thus, the two have already performed at the world-famous 24-hour race of Le Mans and at the Morzine Harley Days, but also at major mainstream rock festivals.
