Here’s the lineup you can look forward to on September 22, 2026:

Absteige

Absteigeunleash their full emotional range through their music. They write songs that reek of self-destruction—of cold concrete, cold smoke, and dirt under the fingernails. Musically, goth, pop, punk, and the aesthetics of the 2000s collide. Whether over fast electronic beats or contemplative acoustic arrangements, Absteige always sounds raw, fragile, and uncompromising.

Serpentin

With her unique indie-electro sound,Serpentinshatters genre boundaries and is spreading like wildfire through the German newcomer scene. Her striking, intense voice and her songwriting merge in her self-produced sound into a storm of freedom and pain. A native of Berlin, she has never existed without her art and embodies everything she has so often been denied: euphoria, exuberant emotions, anger, and pain—and the freedom that lies hidden within when one feels the full force of one’s own soul. She paints pictures of her inner world and lets her indie-electro sound clearly express what words cannot.

SKUPPIN

SKUPPINfrom Chemnitz bridges the gap between the Neue Deutsche Welle and classic ’80s synth-pop à la Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk. With cool synthesizer landscapes, dark basslines, and a voice that sounds both vulnerable and intense, he creates a unique sound. His latest EP, “Weltschmerz” (Release Date: Feb. 28, 2025), consistently builds on his style and addresses the pressing issues of our time: the state of the world, climate change, political uncertainty, and the overwhelming demands of urban life. SKUPPIN’s lyrics are direct, reflective, and marked by a deep thoughtfulness that blends perfectly with his atmospheric soundscapes. SKUPPIN captivates his audience especially in live performances—with a blend of intense emotion and unexpected intensity. His high-energy performance is amplified by the two musicians Antonia and Ricky (bass, keyboard, synth).
