In the organizer's words:

Super Fest Warm up:

Bikini Beach (CH) - Cursed Tour
Presented by: Visions and ByteFM.
BIKINI BEACH - Cursed (Release 07.02.2025) La Pochette Surprise Records / Membran
Voracious caterpillars and beautiful butterflies. Carrot and stick. Fuzzy riffs and sugar-sweet melodies. Bikini Beach focus on contrasts on their new album. "Cursed" is album number seven by the border crossers from Lake Constance. Singer and guitarist Nils Hagstrom and bassist Charlotte Love live in Constance, while drummer Flip comes from nearby Switzerland.
"Everything has been cursed since 2020," says the band, explaining the album title. "When we were in the studio for our fifth album "Atoll", the coronavirus pandemic had just started. This not only completely overshadowed the release and the upcoming tours, but also brought with it a lot of disaster, fear and chaos. Less than two years later, the war broke out in Europe and is still going on. I wonder what other shit is coming our way?"
In 2025, Bikini Beach sound gloomier than ever. No wonder, with all the shit going on around us. The lyrics are about very personal problems or anger at the situation as a whole. The planet is going to the dogs, Nazis and populists are celebrating election victories and bombs and cruise missiles are flying in the neighborhood. "We are aware that, on the one hand, we live in a super privileged society, but at the same time we are sometimes simply stunned by current events," says the band.
May The Fuzz Be With You

Richard & The All Aloners
Dresden is not Nashville. Fortunately. Otherwise we might not even exist. It all started with a scratched country record and a really bad microphone in the living room. What began as Richard's solo DIY project inexplicably evolved into the second worst country band in town. Somewhere between the rehearsal room and the only dive bar in Dresden where they were allowed to play, Richard & The All Aloners cobbled together their own sound - as long as it somehow sounded like country. With a mixture of country, country blues and a healthy dose of self-irony, they sing about the big things in life: heartache, loneliness and the hope for better days - proving that country music also works in the East Saxon province. Inspired by Texas honky tonk and the country sounds of the 50s and 60s, Richard & The All Aloners are influenced by modern artists such as Ramsay Midwood, Sturgill Simpson, The Deslondes or Croy and The Boys - even if they will probably never be that cool. The result is a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly different. They play "loser country" - because hey, somebody's gotta do it.
