The Acts

7:00 PM
NIAH
Singer-songwriter, Pop, Indie | Munich

NIAHmakes music that goes right where it hurts—and that’s exactly why it heals. With her clear voice, honest lyrics, and a blend of fragility and strength, she creates songs that aren’t meant to please, but to evoke emotion. Her music is personal—but never private.

Somewhere between poetic directness and musical minimalism, a sound emerges that leaves room: for doubt, for courage, for everything that lies between the lines. Whether performing solo at the piano or with a band on stage—NIAH takes her audience into a world where it’s okay not to be okay.

Her lyrics deal with mental health, relationships, self-image, and the things we rarely say out loud. Yet she often strikes right at the heart with just a few words. Musically, NIAH moves between indie, pop, and singer-songwriter—sometimes soft, sometimes loud, always authentic. Anyone who listens to her songs quickly realizes: This isn’t an act. This is real.

7:45 p.m.
LISÆ
Pop, Indie, Rap | Tübingen

Captivating beats and a clear message—that’sLISÆ, the feminist band that’s been taking the stage by storm since 2024.

Founded by Lise and Lisa, LISÆ offers a modern blend of German and English pop, indie, and rap. Their music is an angry, funny, and empowering soundtrack for everyone who’s had enough of social inequalities. After their first successful performances at events like CSD, Fridays for Future, and the Queer-Feminist Day of Action, LISÆ make no secret of where they’re headed: to captivate, shake things up, and move people—leaving the audience energized and inspired. Their current song “Wieder wach” is an anthem for self-empowerment and collective resistance that combines catchy melodies with profound lyrics.

But LISÆ is more than just music—they’re a movement. Whether the topic is feminist and queer issues, climate justice, or empowerment, Lise and Lisa manage to weave relevant messages into their songs in an intersectional way and create a platform for voices that are often overlooked.

Their style? A mix of catchy melodies and powerful rap, enriched with influences ranging from indie pop to driving hip-hop beats.

Their live performances burst with energy, charisma, and a connection to the audience that leaves no one unmoved.

Let LISÆ sweep you away and be part of a musical revolution that demands: It’s time to wake up again! (Source: Band info)

 

8:45 p.m.
MINA RICHMAN 
Pop, Soul, Folk | Berlin/Bad Salzuflen
Honest. Queer. Self-determined.

It is the search for a perspective and a direction in life that drove the queer German-Iranian artistMINA RICHMANtoward music from an early age. Born in Berlin but raised in the small town of Bad Salzuflen, she navigates between worlds and discovers treasures like Joan As Policewoman and Nina Simone in her aunt’s CD collection. Inspired by these artists and the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, she released her debut EP “Jaywalker” in 2022, which earned her a nomination for Best Newcomer at the PopNRW Awards.

Raised “accidentally” as a feminist by her father, she borrowed her stage name from Cher’s famous quote, “Mom, Iama rich man.”

Her solidarity song “Baba Said” went viral overnight during the revolution in Iran, allowing her to use her music to contribute to the fight for freedom and human rights. She sees combining activism with music as both a duty and a necessity.

In her debut album, released in 2024 on the Ladies&Ladys label, MINA RICHMAN confronts the process of growing up. With great honesty, she returns to her childhood and comes to terms with her parents’ arguments, cultural uprooting, and both society’s and her own personal attitudes toward her body.

Together with her band—Friedrich Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Alexander Mau, and Leon Brames—and producer Tobias Siebert (“Juli,” Enno Bunger), she has developed a versatile sound inspired by soul and blues classics as well as modern folk and hip-hop productions.

She is currently working with her band on her second album, which is scheduled for release in August 2026. (Source: Artist)
