Ella Stern thrilled audiences as a guest of Söhne Mannheims at the Stadthalle Ternitz in October 2025. Now the German pop singer-songwriter is coming to Stixenstein. Ella sings from a quarter-life crisis perspective about topics that ultimately affect us all. However, she tells these things from a viewpoint that is somewhat different from what one is used to. With a humorous twist, an alternative narrative perspective, and in the end, her music makes you want to dance a little even to the heavier themes.

If Joe Cocker and John Mayer had created "Sweet Love," it would probably have resulted in Onk Lou — the "Pizza Fritta" of the Austrian music scene. His distinctive voice, which spans every octave between Tom Waits and Bon Iver, has left its mark on the local music landscape. With "In the Morning" (2017), he had his first summer hit, and his song "Like 16" (2020) spent 16 weeks at number 1 on the Ö3 Austrocharts. In 2018, he was named "Songwriter of the Year" by the Austrian Composers' Association, and his album "Bogus" earned him an Amadeus Award nomination.
