TOP TEN SOMMER FESTIVAL - LESS + THORD1S

In the organizer's words:

On the Sunday of the TOP TEN SUMMER FESTIVAL, the two queer acts LESS and THORD1S will make the TOP TEN BAR sparkle: Less: music connects because it doesn't leave you alone. Anyone who experiences less hears and feels community and empowerment: you are okay like this; the status quo is not. Striking and lustful, less's vocals jump between velvety and shrill, the head voice sky-high and then downhill into the hot heart of the queerfeminist movement. Compared to: The Knife, Beth Ditto or Klaus Nomi. The beats are technoid and playful, somewhere between hyperpop and new wave - less stands for an energetic sound that leans out of pigeonholes, bursts social bubbles and carries lyrics of unadorned directness into the world with light-footed verve. Sex positivity without the expectation of a bang, an attitude that doesn't hurt but makes you feel good and humor as a sharp sword against patriarchal obtuseness. The less agenda is a call for self-love and unashamed development. The music and message are aimed at everyone who wants to come out, whether queer or not: emancipation is good for everyone! Anyone who dares to love is invited. Since the beginning of 2024, less has been captivating audiences live on stage with a constantly growing repertoire, which is now also gradually becoming accessible to the streaming world. The next single and video release, Born Naked, will be released on July 9, 2025. An EP is planned for early 2026. On stage, less is one of those acts you can't get past, even if you just wanted to get a drink. Passion that jumps over you and pulls you in. Which is okay, because in the end, the party where everyone can be themselves is always the best. Get out of the dull chambers! See you on the other side! THORD1S: Mullet <3 There is neither man nor woman, there is only THORD1S! The queer one-person act from Hamburg and Berlin produces an idiosyncratic electro-pop performance with songs ranging from 96 to 148 beats per minute, powered by queer feminisms. At the heart of THORD1S' energetic and energizing concerts are warm, penetrating vocals and cozy saxophone solos. THORD1S comes with a pink mullet, glittery beard, lots of bass and an unfathomable love for the big drama and its delicate nuances. This content has been machine translated.
