SOPHIA KENNEDY / SUPPORT: YAAMA

In the organizer's words:

Sophia Kennedy has been a regular summer festival guest since 2015 - and now shares a place on the international pop map with PJ Harvey or St. Vincent, which has not only caught the attention of SPIEGEL. From repetitive piano chords, shimmering synthesizers and a voice that ranges from a deeply relaxed velvet alto to Kate Bush-like fairy dust highs, the 36-year-old Hamburg native with an American background has created an impressive pop oeuvre. Kennedy deliberately plays with contrasts: Toughness and beauty, wit and melancholy, soft chords and driving drums all come together to create a great form of catchy pop song, as on her third album "SQUEEZE ME" (City Slang). Since the album premiere at the Knust last year, the songs have reached concert maturity, which you can now see for yourself at Sophia Kennedy's home show at the Kampnagel Club, where she will be on stage with her artist partner Mense Reents (Die Goldenen Zitronen) and Kampnagel favorite drummer Manuel Chittka.

Support will come from KRACH+GETÖSE Award 2025 winner YAAMA, who moves between art pop and electronica. The Hamburg native has released songs on two self-produced EPs to date, covering a colorful spectrum of music from folk to jazz to synth-pop.
