# Bis bald, Cologne: the Electronic Beats Festival is coming, and you could go for free! Oh my god, [we can't wait][1]{: target="_blank"}. This week, **Electronic Beats** is touching down in Cologne to deliver some of our favorite tunes straight to the people. We're talkin' **[Austra][2]{: target="_blank"}, [The Kills][3]{: target="_blank"}, [The Hundred in The Hands][4]{: target="_blank"}**, and **[Miike Snow][5]{: target="_blank"}**, plus an opening set from London-based quintet **Citizens**! We want you to be there. We really, really do. That's why we're giving away two tickets. Take a friend, a lover, an enemy (cool way to bond, pay it forward) or just whatever. The tickets are yours and you are free, just like the tickets. ***UPDATE**: We are very sorry to announce that **The Kills are unable to perform** at this Thursday's Electronic Beats Festival Cologne 2012 due to **sickness** (all other bands will be playing though). Please find all information and a statement by The Kills [here][6] -- we apologize for any inconvenience & hope to see you at the festival nevertheless.* **-- -- -- Competition is closed, winner has been notified -- -- --** Otherwise, tickets are still [on sale][7]{: target="_blank"} for only 18 bucks. That's pretty damn cheap in any economy, and for a night of sweaty fun it's certainly worthwhile. We're waiting...
