Grossstadtgeflüster /// 23 2/3 Jahre Grossstadtgeflüster Jubiläumstour 2026
Twenty years of escapism, defiance and danceable melancholy - an anniversary tour as an inventory of an aggregate state that is located somewhere between electropunk, pop and Berlin directness. What began as an outburst has long since become a commentary: on the world, on one's own failure, on the desire to carry on anyway. The songs - sometimes anthems, sometimes a reaction of defiance - have long since become collective sentiment. Now comes the live revival.

SALÒ: Hardcore Ist Tot Tour 2026
Vienna's punk poet, who mixes anarcho-pop and social criticism into an explosive cocktail. The synthesizer rebel forges sound weapons out of frustration with capitalism and self-irony, transforming club stages into therapy sessions. His album "Hardcore ist tot" is not a work, but an acoustic manifesto - a journey from "JELLO BIAFRA" to the last rent increase. In 2026, SALÒ will take his riot on tour and promises to transform concert halls into seething cauldrons of revolution.
