The acts

19:00
GREENWALD
Alternative, Pop, Indie | Munich
In a small studio in Munich, up-and-coming alt-pop artist GREENWALD creates songs that speak from the heart. She boldly and confidently combines her love of catchy melodies, guitar-heavy indie and emotional coming-of-age lyrics with synth-infused production. GREENWALD's sound is somewhere between modern pop anthems and the pop-rock aesthetic of the 90s/00s and will delight fans of Olivia Rodrigo, Pale Waves and Holly Humberstone.

GREENWALD has been writing songs for as long as she can remember. When she was very young, her dad taught her to play the piano and she found a form of expression for all the melodies forming in her head. A few years later, she was rejected by the music university she had applied to, but she didn't want to give up her love of music. She joins the radio and becomes a music journalist and presenter. Inspired by the music that surrounds her all day, she sits down at the piano in the evenings and tinkers with new ideas late into the night.

Since their debut in 2023, GREENWALD has received editorial support from Amazon Music, airplay on major German radio stations (Bayern3, N-Joy, PULS, egoFM) and was nominated as Band of the Year (Süddeutsche Zeitung). The single "The Way It Was" was streamed over 130,000 times on Spotify through user and algorithmic playlists alone. With each new song, GREENWALD proves her development as a songwriter and this is recognized by a growing fan base.

After her very first live performance as the opening act at the NEON Music Festival at the Olympiahalle in Munich in 2023, GREENWALD has already played live acoustically or as a solo support act. In 2025, she performed with a full band for the first time at the Sound of Munich Now Festival, supported by Süddeutsche Zeitung. Goals for 2026: Play a lot more live and let her inner pop star out!

MARIA DE VAL
Indie folk, pop | South Tyrol
MARIA DE VAL 's special view of the world became her own early on: as a Ladin in South Tyrol, a South Tyrolean in Italy, an Italian in Germany and not least as a drummer in the male-dominated world of music.

"I don't want to say that I suffered as a result, but of course it sharpens the sensors." Musically, it is therefore not surprising that Maria Moling, who grew up in a mountain village in the Ladin Alps, is at home on many instruments: drums, guitars, bass, keys, sequencer, theremin and marimba. She demonstrates this on big stages as a multi-instrumentalist with Hubert von Goisern, among others, and now all the more impressively on her debut album "Mëda Medusa". After earlier bands (Ganes, ME + MARIE), her incomparable voice is given the appropriate space to develop for the first time.

Flexibility on the one hand and a longing for her own place on the other are reflected as yin and yang in her very own perspective on the world in her music. In her inimitable De Val collage style, she interweaves indie folk with elements from Italian and South American music culture, as in "None of Us Cannot Be Wrong".

As a theater composer, she playfully oscillates between the musical decades of the 70s and 90s. The Woodstock feeling pervades her songs, as does the sampling technique of hip-hop and her penchant for synthetic sounds. In addition to the cleverly interlaced catchy tunes, her variability is striking: even fans of 80s hits ("Stone in the Rubble") and 00s experimental pop à la CocoRosie "As We Both Knew Before" are flattered.

Not least linguistically, the multilinguist opens up new spaces in pop when she precedes the English-language "Invisible Girl" with an Italian intro. This makes double sense for her, because "I think and feel in different languages in different ways". (Source: artist)

ELIE ZOÉ
Alternative, indie rock | Lausanne, Switzerland
ELIE ZOÉ'sraw, unmistakable guitar playing and strong melodic signature immediately captivate the listener. Sometimes delicate, sometimes uncompromisingly powerful, the sound is often compared to PJ Harvey or Cat Power. With over 700 concerts under her belt, ELIE ZOÉ has earned a reputation as an extremely energetic, captivating and unique live performer - winning several awards, including "Best Act Romandie" at the Swiss Music Awards and the Swiss Music Prize.

ELIE ZOÉ's music serves as a motor for visions of a desirable future - as a space for collective reflection, exchange and genuine connection. Inspired by transdisciplinary research from physics, sociology, anthropology and biology, new perspectives on the coexistence of humans and the earth emerge, supported by cooperation, mutual support and a deeper connection to the living world. The new album "Shifting Forms" will be presented after a support tour through Europe for The Young Gods as well as headlining shows in Germany, France and Switzerland in 2026. (Source: artist)
