"Rock of Legends" - Rock Concert at GONSO

The long wait is over. Mainz’s iconic “Rock of Legends” concert series is back for another round. On October 16, 2026, visitors to GONSO can once again look forward to a concert experience in a class of its own.

"Nevver" from Heidelberg released their new EP, "Heart on Your Sleeve," in July 2026 and are taking their passionate, energetic pop-punk sound across the country like wildfire. At their concerts, the four-piece band shows—with infectious, beaming smiles—just how much you can achieve when giving up is never an option. Instead of accepting “Never!”, Nevver is the defiant child inside you who shouts “Yes!” and shows the world that it can achieve much more than is expected of it—explain frontwomen Lisa and Katy. Ever since Lisa fulfilled her dream in 2017 and played guitar on stage with Green Day, this statement has become the band’s motto. Nevver is passionate, rousing music about the emotional highs and lows of life. Even if the world may be “Flawed from the get-go,” Nevver’s music—with its rock anthems—always inspires us to make the best of everything.

“Montytown” is a seven-piece band with roots in Mainz, Darmstadt, and Bad Camberg. Their musical style can be described as a mix of rock, rap, hip-hop, pop, and trash. In addition to various covers from these genres, Montytown also writes its own songs. Of course, they sometimes tackle serious topics—but always with plenty of wit, humor, and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor! The band combines German rap-style vocals with electric guitar, bass, drums, trombone, and keyboard to create a uniquely multi-layered sound that inspires partying, dancing, and laughter. At the same time, the group transforms their songs into a one-of-a-kind stage show with wild choreography. In addition to covers of songs by Fettes Brot, Die Fantastischen Vier, Run-DMC, and Tarantino’s *Django* Western, among others, their setlist is filled with many of their own songs. In these songs, they take us to distant pyramids and burning bananas and tell us about the significance behind pasta with pesto.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. on the night of the concert. Attendees who arrive before 6:00 p.m. and stay until the end will be entered into a raffle. Prizes include a free ticket to the 2027 OPEN OHR Festival in Mainz.

Whether you’re a die-hard rock fan or new to concerts—everyone between the ages of 12* and 99 is warmly invited! *New: Children under the age of 12 are now also welcome when accompanied by an adult.

Advance ticket sales begin on September 28, 2026, at GONSO during regular business hours. Admission is €5 for adults and €2 for children and teens. The number of tickets is limited.
