Saturday, 17 January 2024 Reggae+Ska Party
To kick off boot 2026, there will be a big party with live music at the Taucher.Net stand: the ska/reggae outfit DREADSKIN KICK BOX plays traditional ska and reggae as a one-man (& one-woman) band. Dreadskin already thrilled audiences in 2024 & 2025 and created a fantastic atmosphere at the start of the trade fair. We are delighted to have the band back with us and present Dreadskin Kick Box together with the band's sponsor diving.DE!
Handmade ska and reggae music, with reggae and ska riddims dubbed live here and there with a looper pedal, partly jazzy instrumental improvisation and old-school toasting parts.
Musician Dreadskin (Josi Höger) and Li Wunsch founded the ska band The Mood, one of the pioneering ska bands in Germany, back in the 1980s. As Dreadskin Kick Box, the two are still touring throughout Europe.
‘DREADSKIN KICK BOX’, diving.DE and the Taucher.Net team look forward to seeing you there. The party starts at 5:30 p.m., and the music starts promptly at 6:00 p.m. on 12/A31.

Saturday, 24 January 2026 Rock party to finish off!
Big trade fair closing party at the Taucher.Net stand with live music: ‘Billy and the Kids’ have been rocking the closing party at the Taucher.Net stand for several years now. It's always a brilliant evening for all visitors who get to experience such a great rock concert.
Their performances in previous years made our decision easy – ‘Billy and the Kids’ are back on board.
‘Billy and the Kids’ are one of the outstanding cover bands in the Reutlingen/Tübingen area. Our long-time Taucher.Net presenter, editorial colleague and, above all, wonderful friend ‘Shuttle’ played bass in this band until 2024: Sadly, Shuttle passed away in June 2024.
The heart of the now 13-year-old band with extensive stage experience beats for rock music of the 70s and 80s, but newer songs are increasingly finding their way into their growing repertoire
The band plays powerful rock with raw guitar riffs and driving drums. The result is a robust sound that gets straight into your blood. The song selection ranges from A, as in AC/DC, to Z, as in ZZ Top. This guarantees variety, entertainment and a high fun factor at their performances. Go there, get carried away and headbanging is highly recommended...
To quench your thirst, there will be good Bolten beer again, as there will be throughout the entire fair. ‘Billy and the Kids’ and the Taucher.Net team look forward to seeing you there. The party starts at around 6 p.m. at 12/A31.
Evening ‘Get together” at Taucher.Net
... and then there are the evening Taucher.Net get-togethers in a cosy atmosphere with good music and Bolten beer as usual: you buy a mug and get refills as long as you want. The now traditional ‘After-boot’ parties take place daily except Wednesday and Friday at the Taucher.Net stand – from around 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
