Performance is the eleventh studio album by the German rock band Eloy, released in 1983.

Amidst the peak of the Neue Deutsche Welle, Frank Bornemann's will was to stay loyal to Eloy's prog rock roots following the project Planets / Time to Turn, while the rest of the band wanted to explore a more mainstream direction, with less complicated music.

[5] Eventually, Bornemann gave in to the rest of the band's vision, but his contribution to the creation of Performance was significantly reduced, both as a composer and as a writer.

[5] This musical experiment was not commercially successful, as Performance entered the German charts for only one week in May 1983, peaking at the 65th position.

[5] Reviewing their choices and doing something akin to the change of musical styles from Colours to Planets / Time to Turn during the 1980-81 period, the band decided to embrace Bornemann's vision and follow up Performance with an album much closer to Eloy's identity: Metromania.
