In the organizer's words:

Mel Germain
When GO MUSIC opens a new year, the cult series doesn't just do it - it explodes in a shower of sparks of enthusiasm, virtuosity and pure live energy. The first tour of 2026 marks a very special moment: two new exceptional talents are joining the large, international GO-MUSIC family.
The charismatic singer Mél Germain celebrates her GO-MUSIC debut in 2026 - and after just a few bars it becomes clear: this voice is here to stay. Powerful, warm, earthy, with a timbre that gets right under your skin. Mél is an artist who lives what she sings. She has long been known in northern Germany as a power front woman, but her sphere of influence extends far beyond that: Europe, Canada, Hawaii, Belgium, Portugal's coasts - Mél has created unforgettable live moments everywhere with her mixture of rock, funk and soul. She has already demonstrated her musical versatility alongside greats such as Victor Smolski and Anika Nilles, as well as in orchestral projects with the Braunschweig State Orchestra. And anyone who knows her dancefloor hit "Get on high" knows that Mél Germain is not just a stage performer - she can move people.
James Ford
The second newcomer comes from Great Britain - and brings British understatement with outstanding class to the stage: James Ford, known for his energetic projects with Mel Gaynor (Simple Minds) or Mila Falls. His guitar playing is a firework of brilliant runs, sparkling ideas and a musicality that makes you sit up and take notice. Ford doesn't just play - he dances, drives, enthrals, speaks with every phrase. A guitarist who brings a breath of fresh air and at the same time is fully in keeping with the tradition of the GO MUSIC spirit.
Werner Groisz
Werner Groisz, Austrian drum virtuoso, producer, music lecturer and professional musician for 42 years, is a drummer who doesn't do things by halves. He stands for timing, power, joy of playing - and for that certain something that cannot be studied: Heart and soul. Werner has played in jazz formations, shaped the Austropop scene, worked for TV, studios and live productions - and he brings all this experience to the GO MUSIC project with an impressive openness. His manner? Direct, warm, humorous. Someone who lights the fire on set - and at the same time spreads a cozy, warm feeling within the band.
Martin Engelien
And as with every GO MUSIC tour, the man who has made this series one of the most important live projects in Germany since 1996 is at the helm: Martin Engelien, bass legend, music visionary, arranger, presenter, driving force and magnet all in one. He designs, leads, directs - and ensures that every tour is an experience that cannot be reproduced. No rehearsals. No routine. No boundaries. Just music - live, honest, unheard.
Conclusion: A start to the year that blows everything away.
The GO MUSIC Tour 2026 doesn't just start. It ignites. With two new stars, international charisma, a band full of fire and a program that breathes new life into the last 70 years of rock, soul and pop history. If you want to know what real live music sounds like in 2026 - you have to be there... This content has been machine translated.
