Calexico brings the sound of the South to the Isarphilharmonie
On May 2, 2026, Calexico will perform in Munich, transforming the Isarphilharmonie into a place full of desert, vastness, and electric tension. The ensemble led by Joey Burns and John Convertino has stood for decades for a distinctive mix of Americana, indie rock, and Latin American sounds; at the concert in the Isarphilharmonie, this signature style meets a hall known for its strong acoustics.

An evening between dust, shine, and precision
Calexico has earned a solid place in the international live scene with opulent arrangements, intricate orchestration, and a striking stage performance. The German pre-sale performance alludes to the long band history, the breakthrough with Feast of Wire, as well as celebrated shows at major festivals and tours with artists such as Wilco, Arcade Fire, and Andrew Bird. It is this mixture of experience and stylistic openness that also shapes the upcoming concert experience in Munich.

The sound space of the Isarphilharmonie
The Isarphilharmonie at Gasteig HP8 accommodates up to 1,900 visitors and was acoustically designed so that even the finest sound colors are clear in the space. For a concert by Calexico, this is a stroke of luck: warm brass, shimmering guitars, and rhythmic tension arcs unfold the live atmosphere for which the band is known. The hall is located in Sendling on the former municipal utilities site and is considered one of the most modern concert halls in the city.
