The approximately 600 live concerts of the Reeperbahn Festival are taking giant steps towards their completion. Today a further 33 names are requesting attention!  

Eight published albums, the latest one “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”, have won Mike Rosenberg a large worldwide fan community. Whoever wonders why the singer-songwriter genre is becoming more and more popular might get a satisfying answer when looking at Passenger (photo): As long as there are artists who, with their songs and stories, express exactly what so many people feel, there will always be enough listeners!
Zak Abel and his intriguing soul-pop, which also embraces Electronica, Afro house and disco beats, is similarly honest und touching, but is musically at home somewhere quite different.
It took Octavian, who was born in France and raised in south-east London, just four singles to make a superstar like Drake sing along with his hymn “Party Here” on Instagram, and BBC as well as Beats 1 play his songs – meanwhile he is considered the most promising newcomer of UK rap.
Great rock songs with refrains that take off like rockets is what Sunset Sons have in store – with their latest singles “Love Lights” and “Running Man” the trio will give a first taste of their new album which is about to be released. 
The world-music crossover project Oi Va Voi  will introduce itself with their new singer Zohara Niddam. Their new album “Memory Drop” will be published as late as autumn because of all their live shows – and although the band remains true to its principle of purposely avoiding stylistic boundaries, it still has its own unmistakable sound that blows the audience from their seats.
If your musical education takes place on YouTube, you can be sure that Grace Carter  is much younger than 25 and, moreover, that it is still possible to learn to write fantastic songs as her debut album, produced by Mike Dean (and Kanye West, Frank Ocean), proves.
Vizediktator is straight outta Berlin Moabit – four young men with a lot of passion, drive, political standing and even more sweeping rock songs!
