14:45 / Big Band of the University of Kassel

15.00 / Opening by the President Prof. Dr. Ute Clement

15:30 / "Man's World" - A choreography by sports students

"Man's World" takes us into the world of patriarchy and exposes common patterns. However, the dancers do not remain trapped in these structures, but use their piece to raise awareness of other perspectives.

4:15 p.m. / SAMSA

With their mix of shoegazy guitar effects and chaotic post-punk beats, the three Kassel-based musicians Daniel Wenderoth (vocals/guitar) Lennart Fenge (bass) and Tim Hochschorner (drums) create a sound that lies somewhere between uncertainty, euphoria and street noise, both musically and lyrically. Their debut single "niewieder.", released in 2025, shows that the band brings a clear edge to contemporary indie and is not afraid of unconventional sound experiments.

?? Uhr / "Meaggy and friends" - an animal sports lesson

Meaggy demonstrates an excerpt of her work at the Institute of Sport and Sports Science with verve and effervescence. With her motivating manner, she likes to encourage people to exercise. She loves exercise, music and, of course, lots of treats.

Meaggy, Frauke Mutschall and sports students

18:15 / Bachrats

Bachratten on tour. Four guys from Kassel, between a broken amplifier and too much thinking. Bachratten sing about people who would rather move to Berlin than be nice, about the chilled-out life during the next trip to Italy and sometimes about that one moment when you know that you don't always really belong - and you're okay with that.

The music sometimes sounds like sixties pop, sometimes a bit like grunge, sometimes just like an overflowing ashtray. Everything is in German. There is no big concept, but somehow there is an attitude. Somewhere between nonchalance and sadness, there's something that doesn't get naggingly loud, but still remains. A little bit of an indifferent feeling and at the same time a real wish that not everything is in vain. Perhaps a nice greeting, perhaps an honest wink. Get around.

7:45 pm / Nina Jacob

Nina Jacob makes danceable German pop. Her songs are about self-determination, breaking out of everyday life and searching for and finding meaning in a life that is moving far too fast. Musically, she can be categorized between Nina Chuba, Florence and the Machine and Wir sind Helden - but only categorized, because she undoubtedly has her own style. Nina Jacob wants to be loud, to break out, to offend, to stand up for herself and she wraps her feelings and stories in expressive pop clothes. Her voice is snotty and yet crystal clear, her expression meanders between sensitive and expressive, between loving and powerful.

Nina Jacob is someone to keep an eye on - you'll be hearing a lot more from her!
