Rhythm’n’Blues in the open air: Albie Donnelly’s Supercharge at the Summer Garden of the Bundeskunsthalle
The GA-Summer Garden brings one of Europe’s most charismatic live bands to Bonn on August 2, 2026: Albie Donnelly’s Supercharge. On the roof of the Bundeskunsthalle, Rhythm’n’Blues meets soul, funk, and British humor – with free admission and a view over the city. This is not an ordinary concert, but a concert experience with real summer evening energy.
A hurricane of saxophone, groove, and joy of playing
Seven musicians take the stage, the first brass section kicks in, and immediately the mood tilts into anticipation. The formation led by saxophonist and singer Albie Donnelly has stood for precise conducting, powerful orchestration, and a stage performance that immediately takes the audience along for decades. The sound remains handmade, warm, and direct – exactly the kind of live atmosphere that Supercharge has built its reputation on.
A band with history and unmistakable style
The official band history refers to the debut album Between Music & Madness from 1974, another 14 albums, and chart placements with titles like Get Up And Dance and I think I’m gonna fall in Love. On the official website, Supercharge is described as a defining Rhythm’n’Blues, swing, and good-time rock’n’roll band. This very mix is what makes it appealing: music that does not freeze in nostalgia but continues to ignite live.
Roof backdrop, summer light, audience flow
The Bundeskunsthalle provides a special framework for the GA-Summer Garden. The concert takes place on the museum's roof, with free admission and a gastronomic offering by the restaurant GUSTAV. This fits a relaxed summer morning, where the music does not drift away but blossoms right in the open-air moment. For visitors, a light, airy concert experience arises with an urban panorama and much closeness to the band.
