The long-awaited album, “Fargo Live in 25” is set for release on September 12, 2025.
“Fargopeter” Knorn (bass) formed the German classic rock band FARGO in 1973; Peter Ladwig (vocals, guitar) joined in 1976, followed soon after by guitarist Matthias Jabs.
The band’s European tours spanned multiple years, featuring performances alongside rock legends like AC/DC, Mothers Finest, April Wine, and The Small Faces.
Following Roth’s departure in 1978 from the Scorpions Matthias Jabs joined Rudolf Schenker’s outfit and with Matthias’ departure and a transitional period, the Fargo’s musical formulation changed to a heavier style of rock with the new band project Victory forming in the early 80s.
“Fargo – Live in ‘25” offers a 65-minute journey through FARGO’s classic rock sound, distilling six studio albums into a unique, cohesive experience. These recordings were all captured live in Germany during November 2024. With bass player Peter Knorn and singer and guitar player Peter Ladwig, two original Fargo members in the line-up, complemented by guitarist Henny Wolter (Nitrogods and formerly Thunderhead) and drummer Nikolas Fritz (ex Mob Rules).
Peter Knorn adds: “This live album is not only an exciting journey through the entire history of Fargo, but also a declaration of love to our fans and the timeless sound of classic rock.”
For anyone wanting to recapture the energy and passion of those special FARGO concert nights, this live album will be essential listening.
