Cleveland's rap-to-pop-punk convert — tabloid-famous, genre-fluid, and louder about his feelings than anyone in the arena.

About Southside 2027
Southside Festival 2027 runs June 18 to 20 in Neuhausen ob Eck, on a former military airfield near Tuttlingen in the south of Germany. It started in 1999 as the southern counterpart to Hurricane and still runs the same weekend with the same bill, so the first 17 acts, announced September 16, 2026, are Hurricane's too. Muse, mgk and Phoebe Bridgers sit at the top of the poster.
Under them the wave splits the way it does up north. Pierce The Veil, I Prevail and Simple Plan are the loud end, the punk singalongs come from Dropkick Murphys, The Interrupters and Feine Sahne Fischfilet, and Ikkimel, Mehnersmoos and Apsilon cover German rap, with Giant Rooks and Paula Hartmann on the pop side. Advance sales opened on June 23, 2026. No days or stages are out yet, and the poster promises more names.
Expect german rap, indie rock, post-hardcore and punk across 17 acts.

Star the acts you want now. When set times drop, your schedule is already built.
Paranoid space-opera rock at maximum scale — riffs, falsetto and conspiracy concept albums built for the biggest possible stage.
Los Angeles songwriter with a near-whispered delivery and a gift for the devastating small detail, also a third of boygenius.
Masked Saguenay duo who loop double-necked microtonal guitar into hypnotic, odd-metred math rock — 2026's strangest breakout story.
Berlin rapper from Moabit whose songs take on racism, migrant family history and male vulnerability over heavy, minimal beats, as on Haut wie Pelz.
German-language punk rock from Ina Bredehorn, with fast guitars, a hoarse shout of a voice and choruses written to be yelled back at her.
Boston Celtic-punk with bagpipes, union politics, and a singalong rate of roughly one per song — 'Shipping Up to Boston' merely the loudest.
Punk from Germany's Baltic northeast with a horn section, shouted German choruses and an antifascist streak that runs through every record.
Indie-pop five-piece from Hamm singing in English, with Frederik Rabe's cracked falsetto over big synth-and-guitar choruses like 'Wild Stare'.
Michigan metalcore that swings between radio-size clean choruses and full-throated breakdowns, Grammy-nominated for 2019's Trauma.
Berlin rapper firing filthy, deliberately provocative punchlines over hard techno and hyperpop beats, with hooks built to be shouted back by a whole tent.
Frankfurt rap duo MadFred and Maydn, trading crude, beer-soaked punchlines over party beats that sit closer to a pub singalong than a cypher.
Berlin singer whose hushed, half-rapped German pop sets late-night city melancholy to trap drums and dark synths, as on Nie verliebt and Kleine Feuer.
San Diego post-hardcore romantics enjoying a massive TikTok-era second act — the scene's most swooned-over comeback.
Montreal pop-punk that took the genre fully mainstream and has never pretended otherwise — 'I'm Just a Kid' now two generations deep.
Viral dark art-pop — spoken-word menace over strings, Gen Z's gothic conscience with a scalpel for a pen.
Los Angeles ska-punk built on Aimee Interrupter's rasp and the three Bivona brothers behind her, two-tone bounce with singalongs like 'She's Kerosene'.
The headliners
Muse · Paranoid space-opera rock at maximum scale — riffs, falsetto and conspiracy concept albums built for the biggest possible stage. Top of the poster at both sites.
mgk · Cleveland's rap-to-pop-punk convert — tabloid-famous, genre-fluid, and louder about his feelings than anyone in the arena. The rapper turned pop-punk singer, on the poster under his three-letter name.
Phoebe Bridgers · Los Angeles songwriter with a near-whispered delivery and a gift for the devastating small detail, also a third of boygenius. The songwriter behind Punisher, headlining next to two much louder acts.
Up-and-comers to catch early
Sofia Isella · Strings, spoken word and a great deal of menace, from a Los Angeles songwriter still early in her run.
Apsilon · Berlin rapper two albums in, with Haut wie Pelz and 2026's Glanz Null.
Angine de Poitrine · Masked duo from Quebec looping a double-necked microtonal guitar into math rock. Nothing else on the wave sounds like it.
Mehnersmoos · Frankfurt party-rap duo whose 2024 album reached number four in Germany.
Other acts worth planning around
Ikkimel · Berlin rapper with a number one album in Germany and Austria in 2026.
Pierce The Veil · San Diego post-hardcore, the first of the heavy bands in the billing order.
Giant Rooks · Indie pop from Hamm whose second album, How Have You Been?, went to number one in Germany in 2024.
Feine Sahne Fischfilet · Punk with a trumpet line from the far north-east of the country, a long drive from Neuhausen.
