Popakademie presents: Bandpool in Berlin
03. July 2026
On Thursday, July 9, 2026, Bandpool—the flagship development program of the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg—will bring selected acts to a Berlin stage for the second time. LISABETH, Tusker, and Ein Rosenkavalier will perform at FluxBau in Berlin-Friedrichshain. The event is sponsored by Sennheiser and the equipment insurer I’M SOUND.
The 21-year-old artist LISABETH lives in her own dreamy world and uses her songs to tell short stories. Tusker combines vulnerable lyrics with a rhythmically rich sound; his songs explore intimate moments between people. A “Rosenkavalier”: His evergreens range from Schlager anthems—that even hipster darlings can’t resist dancing the Discofox to—to ’80s electro hits that invite you to nod your head in approval. In addition to live music, the event offers Popakademie alumni the opportunity to network and exchange ideas. Attendance is by invitation only. Fans of the artists also have the chance to win tickets through giveaways on the three acts’ social media profiles. LISABETHTikTok Tusker

The Bandpool offers selected artists a comprehensive program of workshops, coaching sessions, and mentoring. In collaboration with experienced instructors from the music industry, the 28th cohort receives individualized support in all areas of the music business—from music production to live performances. Major acts on the German music scene, such as Revolverheld, Provinz, and ClockClock, have been part of the Bandpool in the past.
