Northern Lite is a German electro-pop band founded in 1997 by vocalist Andreas Kubat and producer/keyboardist Sebastian Bohn in Erfurt, Thuringia. Their sound blends synth-pop, electro and guitar-driven rock, and over nearly three decades they have released more than 15 studio albums - including the 2021 German-language record 'JA' and the 2025 album 'Vorwärts Leben'. The band gained early international attention when John Peel played their single 'Treat Me Better' on BBC Radio One in 2001, and they have since shared stages with acts ranging from The Prodigy to Massive Attack.
Northern Lite released the new single 'Up to the Mountain' on 24 April 2026.
The album 'Vorwärts Leben' was released on 7 November 2025, followed by a CD/vinyl edition on 21 November 2025.
Northern Lite launched the 'Vorwärts Leben' tour in November 2025, covering more than 20 German cities through March 2026.
The band announced summer 2026 open-air dates, including appearances in Erfurt, Zwickau and Oberhausen alongside VNV Nation.
Northern Lite also released 'The Covers' album in 2025, a collection of cover versions.
