Axolotl Overkill started in Shanghai in 2026 and was founded by five German musicians with experience across different fields, including music education, business, and journalism, who have been active in the Chinese music scene for several years. The group is united by a shared interest in live performance and connecting with audiences through music. Their setlist includes covers of The Rolling Stones, Billy Idol, Bon Jovi, Elton John, and Gary Moore, as well as a selection of German rock songs. The band will perform at Abbey Road on 27 June.
