We are pleased to welcome them this year as the opening act for Bosse in the Baltic resort of Sellin.
Marlo Grosshardt sings in a beautifully provocative way about the world around him. The 24-year-old from Hamburg wraps his critical lyrics in a raw pop sound. His powerful voice carries us through nostalgic melodies and rousing rhythms. His debut album, “Ein letztes Liebeslied,” is a dystopian vision—dramatically staged, yet beautiful. It’s divided into two acts. The first act is about love and a romantic apocalypse—a resignation in the face of the dystopia Marlo envisions. “Let’s drink, so that it will soon be over.” This is followed by tales of failed tax evasion on the high seas in a finite world. In the second part, Marlo returns to the here and now. The stories become beautiful, provocative, and concrete. ““Jungfernstieg” depicts the moment when two young people experience apparent wealth and love. “Angestellt sein” sings of the grind of working life. In “Christian Lindner,” Marlo vents his frustration with liberalism without, however, pointing the finger too harshly. The album tour was a huge success. Most shows were sold out, and some had to be moved to larger venues. With his profound lyrics, Marlo can touch the audience emotionally, but at the same time get them dancing alongside his wonderful band. In January 2024, he also released the thought-provoking single “Ein Spiel” (feat. piya), in conjunction with which he organized a fundraising campaign for Sea-Watch. In November 2024, Marlo’s second album, “Mut,” was released, which has since reached over 3.5 million streams on Spotify. In particular, a Reel of the song “Astronaut” went viral on social media and opened up a new audience for Marlo.
