BEN ELLIS

In the organizer's words:

Following a support tour for Alfie Jukes and his first sold-out shows in the UK, word of Ben Ellis' talent has long since spread to mainland Europe. While he was still considered an absolute insider tip in international industry circles at the beginning of 2025, he consolidated this position with his first headline tour in fall 2025. With his first two EPs in his luggage and his rocking and poppy songs, which can be categorized somewhere between indie and alternative, he wowed his audience in no time at all and won new fans worldwide. After three concerts in Germany and a performance at the Hamburg Reeperbahn Festival on his My Love Stay On Tour, Ben Ellis is returning to Germany in early autumn with the Time Slows On Tour 2026 to present his new EP "the train where the time slows" with shows in Cologne and Hamburg. Benjamin Payne comes from Cardiff in Wales, where he began singing as a child. As a teenager, he learned to play the guitar and soon began writing his own songs. With the aim of studying music and becoming a musician, Payne moved to London and debuted under his stage name Ben Ellis with the single "not this time". The song showcased the Welshman's voice in the form of a typical singer-songwriter ballad with modern beats and subtle alternative influences that form the basis of his sound. The second single "Ed's House" was followed by further singles, which he bundled together on the "Ed's House EP" in November. With more than 900,000 streams on Spotify, the title track became his most successful song to date and made him and his music better known online. After further song releases from 2024, "The Hollywood EP" followed at the beginning of 2025, counting more than 2.6 million streams on the streaming platform to date and making the songs "No One Sleeps In Hollywood" and "Does It Get Cold In California" clear fan favorites. Since then, new singles have followed as well as the third EP "the train where the time slows", released in March 2026, on which "still be friends" became the artist's new top track alongside the equally successful song "when it ends". What continues to define Ben Ellis' music is his refreshing honesty about the ups and downs of being an up-and-coming artist whose voice is constantly evolving, making his great talent and potential unassailable.
