We are starting the sixth preliminary round for the final in 2026. Once again, six talented artists will compete against each other with their self-written songs and offer you an unforgettable evening.

The competition is similar to a poetry slam and remains a friendly competition. The artists present one song each in two preliminary rounds. The audience has the honorable task of deciding the winners. Whether the music is played amplified or unplugged, in which language it is performed or whether it is rock, ballad, punk or folk - everything is allowed!

The special thing about this evening: only self-written songs are permitted. Cover versions have no chance, as originality is paramount. The top scorers from the preliminary rounds will compete against each other again in the final duel to determine the final winner.

Come along, celebrate the artists, vote and let yourself be carried away by the variety of music. It will be an evening full of creative energy and musical highlights.

Tickets are now available for EUR 15.00 and EUR 11.00 in our RheinBühne online ticket store and forEUR 17.00 at the Box Office and can also be purchased in advance.

Secure your seats and be part of this special event!

We are looking forward to an evening full of passion, creativity and music. Be there and experience the full load of musical inspiration!
