Combining forces to support musical talent from Germany: with this goal in mind, the four federal German states Hamburg, Bavaria, Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia team up again to present their most exciting emerging artists under the umbrella brand Zeitgeist – New German Talent Showcase.
Bringing our most promising talent to The Great Escape, we hope to enjoy the sets of BECKY SIKASA, MOON MATES, RAUCHEN and ALBERTINE SARGES with you at our Zeitgeist Showcase. Each of the bands will also perform a second time in the core program of TGE. The showcase is open for all delegates and festival ticket holders.
We will kick-off the showcase with the Zeitgeist Reception for TGE delegates, hosted by the regional pop music funding organisations Musicboard Berlin, popNRW, RockCity Hamburg and Verband für Popkultur in Bayern as well as Initiative Musik, the central federal music funding organisation and music export office in Germany. All delegates are invited to drinks and vegan hot dogs at Patterns Upstairs from 11:30 AM onwards. We are looking forward to meeting you there and enjoy music, drinks and the ocean view with you!
The venue is accessible to wheelchair users. More information on the venue’s accessibility can be found on the venue website.
