Rotor are an instrumental rock band from Berlin, active since 1998. The quartet - guitars, bass and drums, no vocals - works in the space between stoner rock, krautrock and psychedelic rock, building heavy grooves and complex, shifting song structures. Seven studio albums on Noisolution and a reputation for intense live shows have made them a fixture on the European underground rock circuit.
Rotor performs for the sixth time at the Stoned from the Underground festival in Erfurt (9-11 July 2026).
Rotor is confirmed for Desertfest Berlin 2026 (14-16 May) as one of the festival's local names.
Desertfest Berlin announced Rotor as part of a new wave of bands for the 2026 edition of the festival.
Guitarist Martin Fischer was unable to participate in the RO7OR tour in January 2024 for health reasons; the band completed the tour as a trio.
Rotor released their seventh studio album 'Sieben' via Noisolution and simultaneously celebrated the band's 25th anniversary.
