In June 2022, German indie-rock band Giant Rooks—from Hamm and riding the wave of their debut album Rookery (2020), marking their breakthrough with psychedelic textures and lyrics on everyday alienation—performed at Southside Festival, Hurricane's German "sister" launched in 1997 in Neuhausen ob Eck as a platform for alternative music emphasizing indie and rock among 60,000 attendees. Their hour-long main stage set, captured in high quality, embodied their European tour climax, where Fred Ritter's garage riffs merged with synthesizer improvisations to evoke warm resonance under summer sun. As part of their global breakthrough, this show highlighted Giant Rooks' role as German indie innovators, turning the festival grounds into a realm of collective trance.
