The Acts

7:00 PM
GREENWALD 
Alternative, Pop, Indie | Munich
In a small studio in Munich, up-and-coming alt-pop artistGREENWALDcreates songs that speak from the heart. With courage and confidence, she combines her love for catchy melodies, guitar-driven indie, and emotional coming-of-age lyrics with synth-infused production. GREENWALD’s sound lies somewhere between modern pop anthems and the pop-rock aesthetic of the ’90s and ’00s, captivating fans of Olivia Rodrigo, Pale Waves, and Holly Humberstone.

GREENWALD has been writing songs for as long as she can remember. When she was very young, her dad taught her to play the piano, and she found a way to express all the melodies forming in her head. A few years later, although she was rejected by the music university she had applied to, she refused to give up her love of music. She went to work in radio and became a music journalist and host. Inspired by the music that surrounded her all day, she would sit down at the piano in the evenings and tinker with new ideas late into the night.

Since her debut in 2023, GREENWALD has received editorial support from Amazon Music, airplay on major German radio stations (Bayern3, N-Joy, PULS, egoFM), and was nominated for Band of the Year (Süddeutsche Zeitung). The single “The Way It Was” has been streamed over 130,000 times on Spotify through user-generated and algorithmic playlists alone. With every new song, GREENWALD demonstrates her growth as a songwriter, a fact recognized by a growing fan base.

Following her very first live performance as the opening act at the NEON Music Festival at the Olympiahalle in Munich in 2023, GREENWALD has since performed live both acoustically and as a solo support act. In 2025, she performed with a full band for the first time at the Sound of Munich Now Festival, supported by the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Goals for 2026: To play even more live shows and let her inner pop star shine! (Source: Artist)

7:45 p.m.
MARIA DE VAL
Indie-Folk, Pop | South Tyrol
MARIA DE VALdeveloped her unique perspective on the world early on: as a Ladin woman in South Tyrol, a South Tyrolean in Italy, an Italian in Germany, and, not least, as a drummer in the male-dominated world of music.

“I don’t want to say I’ve suffered because of it, but it certainly sharpens your senses.” Musically, it’s no surprise, then, that Maria Moling—who grew up in a mountain village in the Ladin Alps—is at home playing many instruments: drums, guitars, bass, keyboards, sequencers, and even the theremin and marimba. She demonstrates this on big stages as a multi-instrumentalist—working with artists like Hubert von Goisern, among others—and now even more impressively on her debut album “Mëda Medusa.” For the first time—following her previous bands (Ganes, ME + MARIE)—her incomparable voice is given the space it deserves to truly shine.

Flexibility on the one hand and a longing for a place of her own on the other are reflected as yin and yang in her uniquely personal perspective on the world, as expressed through her music. Sonically, her music is in the inimitable De Valschen collage style, as she weaves indie-folk with elements from Italian and South American musical cultures, as in “None of Us Cannot Be Wrong,” for example.

As a theater composer, she playfully oscillates between the musical decades of the ’70s and ’90s. A Woodstock vibe permeates her songs, as do hip-hop sampling techniques and her penchant for synthetic sounds. What stands out alongside her cleverly layered, catchy tunes is her versatility: fans of ’80s hits (“Stone in the Rubble”) and ’00s experimental pop à la CocoRosie (“As We Both Knew Before”) will also be delighted.

Not least in terms of language, the multilingual artist opens up new spaces in pop when she prefaces the English-language “Invisible Girl” with an Italian intro. This makes perfect sense to her, because “I think and feel differently in different languages.” (Source: Artist)


8:45 p.m.
FARCE
Synth-pop, Experimental, Pop | Vienna
FARCEstands for genre-bending avant-pop with roots in punk, black metal, and electronic music. The Viennese producer and songwriter combines theatrical sounds, emotional depth, and experimental approaches into an uncompromising, queer, and maximalist soundscape. Her style ranges from club-ready catharsis to the deconstruction of classic pop structures—always emotional, biting, and surprising. (Source: Artist)
