Madeline Juno - Draussen im Grünen 2026

In the organizer's words:

Sure, we all wish we could stroll through the world at our leisure at all times and avoid the potholes of everyday life with a mild smile - but that rarely works out. All the less so when we are met with digital grins from everywhere that feign a light-heartedness that we can't find in ourselves. How refreshing, then, when someone not only openly admits their fallibility, but also writes sharp-witted, sensitive, self-ironic, danceable and mercilessly honest songs about it, setting life to music as it really is. How powerful when you still have a sense of reflection and eye level even in the spotlight. MADELINE JUNO makes pop with rough edges, with twists and turns, with brains and courage - and continues writing where others stop. Her story begins in her parents' band room, which she turns into a nursery at the age of 11. At 13, she uploads songs to YouTube that she doesn't tell anyone about at home, but which bring the producers of Tokio Hotel onto the scene. The collaboration began before her 15th birthday and the first album THE UNKNOWN was released straight after her graduation. A record that is not only so earth-shattering for the very young girl that the title adorns her forearm: With hits such as "Error" , the title song from "Fack ju Göhte" , the debut became a sensational success in 2014. The album secured five million streams in no time at all and paved the way for SALVATION, which was released in 2016 and was her last English-language release for the time being. Maddie's creativity knows no pauses and songwriting and collaborations with German-speaking colleagues do the rest: "I was curious to see how my voice would sound in German and whether the songs would work in my mother tongue." She is 20. MADELINE JUNO appears delicate in a world of algorithms, public image and AI - but her handling of words and truth alone casts larger-than-life shadows, behind which all emotions have their place.
