Sukini x Fenster zum Hof-Open Air 2026

In the organizer's words:

ARTIST-BIO: Turning the side dish into the main course: Sukini's second album, "Da haben wir den Salat" celebrates children and the revolt

After four years, the time has finally come: Sukini, also known as Sookee in hip-hop for years, is once again delivering music for children with her second album, which adults are welcome to listen to. After almost 20 years as a queer-feminist rapper, Sukini has now issued another invitation to all people - to grow along with the music, and also with the topics and discussions that Sukini takes up and processes in her lyrics, sometimes loudly, sometimes quietly.

"Da haben wir den Salat" delivers far more than just a supplement, it gives younger and older ears a musically and content-wise rich continuation and further development of the 2019 album "Schmetterlingskacke". For Sukini, this is no coincidence, but rather a program: "It had been clear to me for a long time that I didn't just want to try things out with Schmetterlingskacke. The new songs have gradually grown with me and reflect not only the things that concern me and the world we live in, but also how I deal with it all."

Politically sustainable: music that takes time and gives time

Honest, direct, immediate - this is how Sukini experiences all those, especially younger people, who meet her at concerts. Her interaction with the audience is also honest, direct and immediate. Instead of artificial productions and fast-moving musical products, Sukini chooses a different path: themes that arise from the reality of her life and her engagement with contemporary debates, as well as artistic decisions that are placed above commercial ones.

The eponymous song "Da haben wir den Salat" is also honest, direct and immediate. Children have repeatedly asked for a song about animals at their concerts. The result is a vegan song about (not) eating animals that conveys animal rights and the importance of animal welfare in an age-appropriate way.

EVENT-INFO: The "Fenster Zum Hof" open air festival in Mainz offers concerts of various pop genres, some of which are outside the genre, including classical music. The FzH26 starts on 24.7.2026 and until 23.8.2026, twelve dates await the audience in the most extraordinary summer location in the Rhineland-Palatinate state capital, when the concert agency Musikmaschine transforms the inner courtyard of the Landesmuseum Mainz into a festival site once again.

RULES: One ticket is valid for one person (children or adults). Disabled persons with appropriate documentation can bring an accompanying person free of charge. Children with the Mainz Holiday Card pay only 8.00 euros in advance (plus booking fees) and 13.00 euros at the box office. At the entrance we ask for the vacation card (+ identity card).
