Pop is dead. Punk was never graspable. Hardcore? Also done. What remains is Salò - the anarcho-pop-punk poet from Vienna, who shakes the club stages with emotional punch and sharp social criticism. After his acclaimed album "Problemzone Mensch" (2024), the next escalation level is coming: Hardcore is Dead Tour 2026 - a liturgy for lost souls with glitter under the eye and weak Wi-Fi. New anthems for broken hearts, new looks for broken bodies. Between punk, electroclash, and capitalism therapy, Salò sings about love, anger, and overwhelm in the present. With sardonic mockery, unconditional self-irony, and radical vulnerability, Salò creates music for an overstimulated generation - loud, defiant, danceable - and each of his lines hits straight to the heart.
On the Hardcore is Dead Tour 2026, Salò comes with a new album (release: April 26) and an excessive live show, angrier, louder, and more intimate than ever. The advance single "Jello Biafra," named after the legendary Dead Kennedys frontman, unmistakably shows where the journey is headed: "Rent is not getting more expensive - rent is being made more expensive" - a sentence like a guillotine, from which no one can pull their head away. "Jello Biafra" is not just a song. It is an acoustic pamphlet, a manifest blow to the sterile corridors of late capitalist rental agreements.
Salò is pop with attitude, glamour with dirt, punk with synthesizers. Those who experience him live know: this is not a show - this is escalation with depth. Salò dances on the ruins of masculinity, morality, and mainstream. He makes noise that lingers.
Salò is the alias of Austrian musician Andreas Binder, who has been shaking up stages in the German-speaking world since 2019 with his uncompromising mix of anarcho-pop, punk, electroclash, and social criticism. With songs like "Apollonia sits at the checkout at Edeka" or "I don't believe in dinosaurs," he quickly became a cult figure in the Vienna indie scene. His explosive live shows are more catharsis than performance, his lyrics a soundtrack for life between capitalism critique, longing, and sensory overload. Salò is music that doesn't want to be asked if you like it, but whether you are still awake.
