With hindsight, that night carries melancholy weight. Within one month, most of the performers and organizers would see their spring tours, festivals, and gigs cancelled.

We screamed lyrics into each other’s faces. Two weeks later, that was illegal.”

The “Youth Party – Foursome Ticket Show” was never repeated. A planned spring edition (April 18, 2020) was cancelled. The collective behind it dissolved, its members scattering to streaming platforms, remote work, or other cities.
