Noch Besser Leben: Fête de la musique

6:00 pm
Caïman | Dream-Rock

Singer-songwriter Caïman from Lyon loves thrills, enchanted forests, small back roads, storytelling and never conforming. Her voice and electric guitar weave words of liberation and incantation. Her music is tender, dark, sincere, infused with tales of transformation, rebellion and magic. Caïman's songs explore themes of dreams, rebellion, solidarity, unconditional love and resilience.

Her latest album Dreamcore was released on October 31, 2025 and combines psychedelic folk ballads and gothic pop, because "dreams are ways to see dead people again". Caïman sings of life and death, of community, the miraculous and revolution - of reclaiming a violent and patriarchal world. The singer opens the doors to a world of her own, in which we turn the glass ceilings in our heads into windows.

The Big Other | Pop & Rock & Blues

The Big Other are a young up-and-coming dream punk band from Leipzig. Between hard riffs and dreamy melodies, between brute angry punk and spherical ballads, they explore their own musical space. Musically, the aim is to artistically play around a border area between waking and sleeping, dream and reality. Gathered around lead singer Senta, who seeks to express the simultaneous loneliness and search for connection of the late modern subject in her lyrics, the band accompanies these lyrical excursions with a sound that systematically dissolves all categories. Their inspiration comes from bands such as R.E.M., Refused, Slowdive and a whole lot of speed; a tightrope walk between Vernisage, Adorno, burnt cigarettes and cold tea.
