In the organizer's words:

ARIES

US rapper, singer and producer with new album in spring 2026 for four shows in Germany

Since the beginning of his career, Aries has been mixing modern hip-hop with alternative influences, creating a sound that has attracted worldwide attention. Already on his debut album "WELCOME HOME", songs like "BAD NEWS", "SAYONARA", "RACECAR" and "CAROUSEL" became early fan favorites and impressed with their dynamic and lively mix of different musical worlds. Since then, ARIES has steadily expanded and refined this genre fusion on two further albums. In mid-November, he released his brand new album "GLASS JAW", which will also bring the 27-year-old US musician to Germany on a world tour in 2026. On his GLASS JAW WORLD TOUR, ARIES will be bringing his unique alternative sound to Munich, Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne in April 2026.

Arshia Fattahi (Aries) was born in Wichita, Kansas to Iranian parents and was influenced musically at an early age by his father, who is a professional violinist. At the age of eight, his family moved to Los Angeles, where he has made his home ever since. He started rapping at the age of 13 and taught himself how to produce beats. Influenced by the crossover sound of Linkin Park, he quickly developed the idea of mixing hip-hop with alternative rock. Aries finally gained initial attention via his YouTube channel, where he quickly built up a following by recreating popular beats and explaining production techniques. He started releasing his own music in 2019 and, after his first successful singles, made his debut with his album "WELCOME HOME", which was the first full-length album to showcase his sound with catchy guitar loops, modern hip-hop beats, pop vocals, rap and alternative vibes. This was followed in 2021 by the album "BELIEVE IN ME, WHO BELIEVES IN YOU", which included two more fan favorites with the singles "FOOL'S GOLD" and "ONE PUNCH"and consistently developed his sound further. "ONE PUNCH" also became part of the NBA 2K22 soundtrack and was used on several ESPN sports broadcasts. With his latest work "GLASS JAW", ARIES has once again developed his sound further. On the record, "SLEEPWALKER" feat. brakence, "IN THE FLESH" and "ANESTHESIA" are the next top tracks from ARIES, who is turning more strongly than ever to rock influences and reveals pop-punk influences ("WICHITABLUES").
