In the organizer's words:

"It's never about winning. It's always about the songs."

In the annual finale, the winners of the first four Tübingen Song Slams will compete against each other. That means it's up to you to decide who will conquer the Club Voltaire stage & the hearts of Tübingen at the grand finale.

They couldn't be more different. She's delicate and vulnerable, he's the guy with the battering ram. And yet they have one thing in common: both delighted the critical audience equally at the Songslam 2025 finale at Club Voltaire. They achieved exactly the same result in the points vote in the preliminary round and in the applause vote in the final. The audience loudly demanded two first places and then got them. And so the winners' concert became a double concert of opposites with Lini and Samuel Kilian.

Lini

Lini is a young singer-songwriter, inspired by German indie music. Her songs are written wherever and whenever her thoughts come to her or threaten to overwhelm her. The lyrics show her touchability and honesty. Poetically, intelligently and with a pinch of humor, Lini expresses in her songs what many people hide (from themselves) and allows listeners to share in her tender soul life.

With her authenticity and charm, coupled with a pronounced stage shyness, she quickly captivates the audience and creates a pleasant connection.

Samuel Kilian

"I'm going bouldering now"

Topless and with an oat slat. With piano, guitar and a lot of self-irony, Samuel Kilian not only talks about his new hobby, but also about everyday problems and creative solutions. Be it the battering ram against obstacles on the cycle path or the chainsaw against chain smokers. The notoriously single man never misses an opportunity to emphasize his dating qualities. As a statistician with a doctorate, he is even qualified to play doctor. With comedy, music and kitchen tips, his show is anything but predictable. Whether pop, hip-hop or nose flute, no genre is safe from him.

After becoming famous on social media with his viral song "Ich geh jetzt bouldern", Samuel Kilian has established himself as an up-and-coming newcomer on the cabaret scene. Described by the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung newspaper as a "more casual Bodo Wartke incarnation", the comedian delights audiences with unconventional topics and a varied program. He won the Obernburger Mühlstein 2025 jury and audience awards, achieved top three placings in various other cabaret competitions, appeared on television with Mark Forster and won several song slams.
