Konzert: Sofiko // Tociero // Modern Torture

In the organizer's words:

About Pop presents:

Sofiko: Sofiko serves up indie pop garnished with cheeky, humorous lyrics and melodies that sneak irresistibly into the ear. A
musical cocktail of humor, charm, depth and sounds that make you want more! She has been performing on the small,
but fine stages in southern Germany and knows how to win over the audience. Authentic, full of energy and always a little imperfect, Sofiko makes for an unforgettable experience.

Tociero: tociero (pronounced totschiejero) is an artist who succeeds in putting the nightlife, everyday questions and worries of Generation Z into words - sometimes with humorous lightness, sometimes with political depth. Where do I want to go, what am I doing, what does love do and where is the next party? With his songs, tociero takes his listeners on a journey through nightlife, the culinary longings for it ("noodles") and the "bottomless" kebab prices, never taking himself too seriously. But he does not remain on the surface. He is not afraid to address the big questions of his generation: "Why should I go to university when I have a bed?" No, of course he means: inequality, climate change or the shift in discourse. His radical honesty, paired with playful linguistic artistry, makes him one of the most exciting voices on the young music scene. From the campfire to the stage: in 2025, he released his first music video and immediately garnered almost 20,000 views across all platforms. And that's just the beginning:
The "Uff-EP" is already in the starting blocks, as are live performances in Stuttgart, Munich and Rostock. His music is somewhere between party rap and raop and can definitely not be pigeonholed into one genre. But tociero is sure of one thing: life is too short not to have fun. His music should be fun and also make you think from time to time - which is exactly why his live shows are more than just a concert. Some would say they are a workout, because standing still is not allowed. What remains are catchy hooks, sore thigh muscles and lyrics that reveal new facets on the second or third listen. One thing is certain: with tociero, you can hardly wait for "spring"!

Modern Torture: MODERN TORTURE is a kind of punk band from Stuttgart/Ludwigsburg, which has set itself the task of playfully transforming opposites into music. Jeany (bass/vocals), Djo (guitar/vocals) and Vane (drums/keyboard/backing vocals) spark loud, but also bittersweet creative sparks - between punk and poetry, anger and love, banality and social criticism. MODERN TORTURE, as the name suggests, sometimes hurts, is like an unpleasant wet handshake, but at the same time also a long-awaited familiar hug.
a long-awaited familiar embrace. Flowery, quivering guitar riffs adorn lyrical screams - together with a bass and drum combo shining in rebellion, this is what is called art punk. MODERN TORTURE are the voices of children of the 2000s who do what they feel.
