Starting at 7:00 PM, our evening program kicks off with concerts and DJ sets.

SATURDAY PROGRAM:
Starrlight, Barrio Colette, Ildikó (DE)

+++++++++++++++
Starrlight
Starrlight is an international hip-hop artist whose music serves as a raw, unfiltered voice for humanity. With an intricate blend of poetic lyricism, commanding delivery, and unapologetic authenticity, Starrlight's artistry resonates deeply with fans who crave substance over superficiality. Hailing from Outer Space, Starrlight has emerged as a force in the underground hip-hop scene, blending sharp social commentary, wrapped in intense flows with infectious beats that captivate audiences across the globe. From cypher sessions in gritty basements and underground stages to electrifying performances on successful worldwide tours, Starrlight has built a reputation for delivering thought-provoking music that challenges norms while celebrating the art form’s roots. With influences ranging from Golden Era hip-hop to modern experimental sounds, Starrlight crafts music that bridges generations, speaking to both the old-school heads and new listeners alike. Her professional work ethic, calm presence, lyrical flows and her mind blowing stage performance is a guaranteed success.

Barrio Colette
The Swiss quartet Barrio Colette returns with “Midi Soir Matin”, a bold new EP that captures their essence as one of the most free-spirited bands on the scene. Known for their charismatic live performances, Barrio Colette continues to mesmerize with a
sound that has become increasingly refined, enlightened, and unapologetically raw.
Led by the magnetic Noémie Griess on vocals — part provocateur, part dreamer — the band is rounded out by Luca Celetta and Stan Veuillet, whose rock-solid rhythm and nonchalant energy anchor even their most tender ballads, and Anissa Cadelli, a creative force who propels the group into daring new territories. With vintage guitars, rhythm box, and a blend of pop, kitsch garage, and soulful ballads, Barrio Colette delivers music that’s rough around the edges and full of heart.

Ildikó
Ildikó is on the scene, serving up tracks in DIY style—sometimes soulful, with her heart on her sleeve and a drum ’n’ bass beat under her feet, as in “will dich wieder fühlen.” Other times, she’s fed up with patriarchy and leering cis men in the pedestrian zone, as in “Guck mich nich an.” Here, hardcore hip-hop meets the flows of this Stuttgart native, who sends a very personal take on modern German rap out into the world from the hills of her hometown. Conventional beat structures are broken up like pretzel sticks, custom-made trap and boom bap are layered on, and lyrical bells are scattered in double time.
