Rian

RIAN is back: with his debut album "Blumendisko" he hits the road on the same-named 2026 tour - having gone from hotly tipped newcomer to platinum indie-pop star, AMADEUS Award winner and a live act that keeps selling out bigger and bigger venues. In Tuttlingen, special guest Eala will open the show.

Just two years ago, RIAN was still a newcomer - albeit a heavily hyped one - turning heads with his first songs and sharp, charming German-language lyrics. One of them, "Schwarzes Schaf", went viral in 2023 and gave a first taste of the breakthrough to come for this indie artist who manages to be zeitgeisty without being embarrassing about it.

The Austrian musician and entertainer has found his voice: he blends German-language indie-pop with smart comedy and always carries a socially and politically relevant message for the right causes. His songs are playful little gems in the tradition of KAFFKIEZ, Danger Dan, Antilopen Gang, Falco or Manu Chao - fun and danceable on the surface, deeper and (self-)critical around the corner, and always empathetic.

In 2024, RIAN scored a genuine hit with "Verwandtschaftstreffen", reaching the top of the charts and earning gold and platinum in Austria. With 15 million streams, he has firmly cemented his place in the German-language music scene - his songs run in heavy rotation on the biggest radio stations, he swept three Amadeus Austrian Music Awards in 2025, and his tracks have become the life soundtrack of his fans.

His reputation as an outstanding live entertainer fills halls and pushes him into ever-larger venues, not just in his native Austria. For summer 2026 he promises even bigger shows, even more live energy and plenty of new music. One of the most exciting live acts of the year.
