Ende / Boebeck / Pony Splendor / Moving As A Giant

EUphoria!

For more than a decade, the annual Europe Day has been celebrated at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels as a musical celebration of Europe—featuring exchanges, networking, and concerts by young European acts. As part of the Liveurope project, Posthof will continue this initiative for the first time in 2026—aiming for greater visibility of new voices and a scene that grows across borders. Four bands from Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Slovenia, united by the idea of an open, shared Europe: An evening for diversity, connection, and new musical perspectives. Join the celebration!

These concerts are supported by Liveurope, the first pan-European initiative supporting concert venues in their efforts to promote emerging European artists. Liveurope is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.

Ende (AT)

The duo from Vienna and Linz creates a distinctive soundscape where post-punk, Neue Neue Deutsche Welle, pop, new wave, and punk organically intertwine. Their music thrives on contrasts, managing to maintain an exciting balance between hardness and fragility. Guitars, drum machines, and synthesizers merge into a dense, powerful sound that touches immediately while also inviting to dance.

Ende sings about broken relationships, angry nights, and hidden escapes. Their songs tell stories of people who are tired, who want to disappear, or who remain alone together. It’s about shadows, signals, fear, and longing. The language remains reduced and direct, without pathos, yet full of emotion.

Live, the duo transforms into a four-member band. On stage, the songs unfold a new dynamic—playful, raw, and even more energetic. Concerts by Ende are intense, loud, sweat-inducing, and simultaneously connective.

They have reached top positions in the FM4 charts. The media response has grown, as has a steadily increasing fan base that appreciates the band’s distinctive style. Ende represents a sound that does not pander yet remains memorable, a stance that can be uncomfortable, and music that creates space for anger, sadness, and hope.

Boebeck (HU)

Between melancholy and resistance, between inner world and outer noise: This Hungarian project, centered around frontwoman Boe, has quickly evolved from a solo endeavor into a standalone band—finding a clear voice along the way. What began in 2023 with the debut album has led to numerous shows both domestically and abroad, including major festival stages like Sziget and Reeperbahn, and across Europe’s club scene.

With the EP "lucky," the sound became more open, guitar-driven, and exploratory. "Evil Under The Sun" continues this path: New wave, indie, post-punk—not as a stylistic exercise but as an expression of an inner urgency. The songs revolve around identity, vulnerability, and the question of how much honesty a present can withstand, which often prefers smoothing over depth.

Live, this tension manifests in changing states: sometimes subdued, almost floating, then again sharp and direct. That this band shares stages with Paolo Nutini or Bilderbuch fits—not due to stylistic proximity, but because of a stance that does not conform.

With new singles like "little fight" and "no amends" and more material on the horizon, the project remains in motion. Perhaps its strength lies precisely in this: in not arriving, in continuing to question, in consciously keeping things open.

Pony Pracht (DE)

Between voice and machine, between intuition and code: Behind Pony Pracht is Leipzig singer and media artist Lisa Zwinzscher, who reconstructs pop—layer by layer, sample by sample. The starting point is her voice, multiplied, deconstructed, and reconfigured. This results in a sound that moves between avant-garde pop, dreamtronica, and a cool, floating cloud aesthetic.

Central to this is a self-developed instrument that works exclusively with vocal samples and shapes her compositions. At the same time, artificial intelligence serves as a creative counterpart: lyrics are generated using algorithms, voices are cloned, and dialogues are held with oneself. What sounds technical surprisingly feels organic—like a pulsating structure that constantly re-forms.

With the EP "Lomb," she made a clear statement for the first time in 2023, accompanied by self-developed visuals and her own music video game. Live, this intertwines further: sound, image, and digital aesthetics interact, opening a space where pop is understood not as a form but as a process.

Moving As A Giant (SLO)

A massive sound body that slowly begins to move: This trio from Murska Sobota combines noise, fuzz, and melody into a dense, physical experience. What initially builds like a wall begins to breathe, push, and tilt. Heavy rhythms meet shimmering synths, guitars pile up—and in the midst of it all, a voice that holds everything together: Bojana Pejanović, clear, urgent, with a presence that oscillates between control and loss of control.

The self-titled debut album from 2024 marks this approach in its most concentrated form. No evasion, no embellishment—instead, a consistent engagement with volume, space, and emotion. Noise here is not an effect but a starting point: something that is shaped, layered, and continually rethought. Between massive guitar landscapes and fragile moments, a tension field emerges that does not dissolve but continues to evolve.

Live, this creates a pull. The pieces unleash their full force while remaining flexible, open, and permeable. Performances at festivals like MENT Ljubljana or Druga Godba have shown this impressively—as has the steadily growing attention for a band that has found its own language.

Perhaps their strength lies precisely in the ability to make hardness and vulnerability audible simultaneously, rather than pitting them against each other.
