Ashnikko

In the organizer's words:

Hip hop / pop concert in the HALLE

Ashnikko is striking, loud, cheeky, self-confident and empowered. Attributes that often come across as "too much" in most of society are rightly "just right" in Ashnikko 's world. The 29-year-old genderfluid singer breaks all conventions and relies on eye-catching and detailed outfits that create a unique aesthetic with bright blue hair and Japanese streetwear. With biting, razor-sharp lyrics about sexuality, queerness, feminism and self-determination, a fluid alternation between rap and vocals and her cheeky, almost malicious laugh, she delights her fans - and provokes others at the same time. Ashnikko combines all of this on songs such as "STUPID", "Daisy", "Slumber Party" and "Deal With It" in a sound between bedroom pop, hip-hop, indie and hyperpop, making it unmistakably clear that her art cannot be overlooked. Ashnikko has also long been able to captivate her audience live - both on her own world tour following the release of her latest album "WEEDKILLER" and as support for Billie Eilish. The SMOOCHIES TOUR brings Ashnikko back to Germany in January and February 2026 for her biggest headline shows to date and promises to be the most impressive celebration of her positively wacky world since then.

Ashnikko, real name Ashton Nicole Casey, grew up in the USA, Estonia and Latvia. She has been based in London since the age of 18. Influenced by genres such as country, metal and rap music, she began writing her first songs in 2016, which she published on SoundCloud. Since her debut EP "Sass Pancakes " (2017), the singer and rapper has been creating a sound that has not only developed steadily with the EPs "Unlikeable" (2018) and "Hi, It's Me" (2019), but has also enjoyed increasing success. In 2019, it was the song "STUPID" feat. Yung Baby Tate, which marked the first viral success, from which the singles "Tantrum" and "Cry" feat. When "DAISY" went viral on TikTok in 2020, Ashnikko became an absolute pop star on the internet. The accompanying successful mixtape "DEMIDEVIL" featured "Deal With It" feat. Kelis, another track pushed by the hype, before "Slumber Party" feat. Princess Nokia marked Ashnikko 's final breakthrough. The album "WEEDKILLER" was released in 2023: With influences from trap, nu-metal, rock, hyperpop and hip-hop, it reached number 7 in the albumcharts in the UK, number 2 in the Billboard Heatseekers Albums and number 35 in the German album charts. The following year, the song "Paint The Town Blue" was released as part of the soundtrack to the "League of Legends" series "Arcane". With the singles "Itty Bitty", "Trinkets" and "StickyFingers" , Ashnikko was already hinting at the next step in her artistic development. All three singles are part of her second studio album "Smoochies", which will be released on October 17, 2025. For her fans, it has long been clear that Ashnikko is well on the way to becoming a superstar who will help shape the pop world of the future.
