PÄTER
“Somewhere between Muse and Hilary Duff.” This is the response from Iran-born, Toronto-raised Parmida Kakavand, the mind behind Päter, when asked to describe their meld of Alt Rock, Singer-Songwriter and Pop. After their viral debut “Dam, Damn” in 2020, Päter has independently gained an international following for their sharp lyricism and eclectic sound. The release of their 2024 debut LP “4-7 Company”, co-produced with Howard Redekopp (Mother Mother, Tegan & Sara) landed them features on CBC and Exclaim!, and Obscure Sound. 2024 saw Päter performing on festival stages across Canada, securing their distinction as an artist on the rise.

Playing German dates alongside Rikas and Leisure, Muroki has is just getting started to find an enthusiastic new audience on “our” side of the world. Welcome to the eastside, Muroki!
Jugo Ürdens
Jugo Ürdens represents intelligent lyrics, pointed irony and an unmistakable sound. In his music, the Viennese rapper with North Macedonian roots addresses life as a migrant in Austria – with honesty, directness and without clichés. His visual trademark is an always polished bald head. After a tour with RIN, he is now back with his album “Hund” in 2024. An act with depth and attitude!
Rubin Kind
Berlin-based artist Rubin Kind, with German and French heritage, grew up in Luxembourg and brings a striking blend of cultures to her music. Known for seamlessly intertwining French and English lyrics, Rubin defies genre boundaries, drawing inspiration from electro-pop and experimental sounds.

Location
Locke at Eastside Gallery
Come to the Eastside!
Above the rooftops of the city, the creative pulse of Friedrichshain meets the nobility of a modern design hotel. At the same time, the Eastside Gallery is a place where a dark part of Berlins history comes to live: less than 40 years ago, the inner German border, nick-named the “death-strip”, meant a fatal end for more than 600 people who were seeking for the freedom we are enjoying today. Aware of the dark past of this location, Sky Mic specifically marks a place of creativity and openness to the world, where freedom and diversity are explicitly welcomed and celebrated.
