Lina - Melodrama Tour 2026

Three top-ten albums, gold certifications, two ECHO nominations, and sold-out tours - LINA already knows what success looks like. But in 2025, it’s no longer about ticking off numbers or goals. It’s about doing only what truly feels right for the first time. No more business as usual. No compromises. New management, new label, Hansa Recordings - and the end of a long-term relationship. LINA has reset everything to the beginning. "I wanted to find out what happens when only my gut feeling decides," says LINA. The 27-year-old knows what it’s like to be stuck in predefined roles - and eventually realizing that there is more to it. Since childhood, she has been on stages, in front of cameras, at the microphone. Singer, actress, voice actress. LINA was discovered on "Dein Song," the TV competition for young songwriters, before becoming a star as Bibi Blocksberg in the "Bibi & Tina" film series - four movies, over 3.5 million viewers in cinemas, and a whole generation that grew up with LINA. As a voice actress, LINA is already well-established - and not just once. She lent her voice to the main character in the international Disney production "Moana" and will return to the role in the second part in 2025. Additionally, she voiced one of the main characters in the US animated film "UglyDolls" - just a selection of her numerous voice acting works.

At the same time, she started her music career and released her debut album "Official" in 2016, which was immediately certified gold. This was followed by "EGO" (2017) and "R3bellin" (2018), both of which debuted in the top 5 of the charts and led LINA on sold-out tours across Germany. Two ECHO nominations for "Best Artist Pop National" underscored her status as a prominent figure in German pop. In 2023, her third album "24/1" was released - a personal and musically evolved work that showcased the full range of her songwriting for the first time. Between driving pop songs and quiet moments, LINA sounded more confident, reflective, and closer to what defines her today: An artist who does not see pop as a template but as a space for stories that tell more than the obvious.

But all of that is a long time ago. Today, LINA is writing her own story - also beyond music and film. Since 2023, she has been hosting her podcast "Fühl ich," where she shares personal experiences around mental health every Thursday. Together with experts and prominent guests like Phil Laude or Lucas Kaschinski, she discusses the challenges of growing up, dispels prejudices, and answers questions from her community. She speaks openly about what it was like to grow up in the spotlight, how touring life and therapy fit together - and why she still struggles with her own fears. And it’s this openness that can also be heard in her music. Freshly signed to Hansa Recordings, the new songs reflect someone who knows what she wants - and what she doesn’t. Less polished, less compliant, but more direct, clearer, and more honest.

LINA sings about what remains when the facades crumble. About closeness that hurts. About the moment when one realizes: You don’t need anyone to be whole - except for yourself. Between pop, retro glamour, and that hard-to-explain vibe when a song makes you smile even though it actually hurts. It’s about good days and not-so-good days. About conversations that only make sense at four in the morning on the curb. About people with whom you briefly forget where you actually wanted to go. And about the quiet feeling that maybe not everything will be okay - but good enough to keep going. LINA writes songs that tell exactly that. No generic pop product, no music for playlists that disappears after three minutes. But lyrics that stick because they tell a story. "I’m done with half. No half feelings, no half songs," says LINA.

Musically, LINA will strike a new, international tone in 2025 - clear, direct, and with an attitude that sounds more like self-determination than a playlist algorithm. It’s about big pop with a stance - songs that convey in German exactly what sounds so natural internationally. No cheap copy, but a sound that dares to rethink pop aesthetics. Her upcoming album "Melodrama," set to be released on January 23, 2026, sounds so personal, as if it came straight from her diary. The title says it all: dramatic, sentimental, emotional - but always with humor. The songs tell of longing and self-staging, of inner unrest and the desire to only be able to talk about how beautiful everything is, even when it can be terrible. It’s about big pop with a stance - songs that convey in German exactly what sounds so natural internationally. No cheap copy, but a sound that dares to rethink pop aesthetics.
