TBA (releasing on June 12!): A mega headliner is waiting for you!
We can't give too much away yet, but: fights, love and the end of the world are getting a rough singer-songwriter pop makeover. Stay tuned and check our channels.

Lara Hulo: Indie lightness with a clear edge, melancholy and humor. Lara brings blazing queer feminism to the stage - whether it will still be standing afterwards remains unclear.
Ever since the viral hits "Berliner Luft", "Side B*tch" & "Für Änni", Lara Hulo has stood for one thing above all: uncompromising authenticity. And for an artist who knows exactly what she wants. And Lara wants much more than just a viral hit. She wants nothing less than to shake up the German-speaking indie scene. Her songs are proof that Lara still has a lot to show - both in terms of content and music. Born in Schleswig, Lara has now found her home in Berlin. The indie artist captivates her listeners with her unique, raspy voice, reminiscent of the great days of Nina Hagen or Hildegard Knef. Her lyrics tell of her life as a queer young woman and deal with the issues that drive us all: About searching for, finding, holding on to and losing love. Sometimes packaged as a quiet ballad, sometimes as a self-confident musical statement. The fact that her songs lose none of their indie lightness is due to the artist's charismatic nature and her talent for allowing melancholy and humor to coexist. Lara certainly owes her refreshing non-conformity to her experiences from over 10 years of street music. Live she shows her absolutely authentic self; on stage she is loud, powerful and fragile at the same time. This also inspires her audience. After a sold-out first solo tour, she's also coming to us!

Juno030: Raps with a clarity that is rare. Having grown up in the big city, she talks about the psyche, self-discovery and social ruptures.
Growing up in Berlin-Neukölln, Juno uses her music to process life in the big city, between disorientation, mental challenges and the constant search for one's own identity. Her lyrics are direct, honest and unembellished. Musically, Juno030 moves between rap, pop and electronic influences. Together with her brother and producer Outakey, she creates sounds that range from melancholic hooks to trap and drum'n'bass elements, carried by her distinctive voice and clear attitude. With her debut album "Dahin, wo's wehtut" (late 2025), Juno030 has established herself as an independent artist. Live, Juno030 impresses with an intense stage presence that makes her songs an immediate experience. Between vulnerable moments and energetic passages, she creates an atmosphere that not only reaches the audience, but sweeps them away.
