Germany announced as lead country partner

Germany is our Lead Country Partner for 2027. This year the ZEITGEIST New German Talent Showcase celebrates its 10th anniversary at The Great Escape. Since 2017, ZEITGEIST has connected emerging German artists with international audiences and industry professionals, and in 2027 it will present 12 artists from across Germany’s contemporary music scene. Announced so far are Violet (pictured) and Louis Ottley.

ZEITGEIST Teamleads, Susan Lindenhahn (RockCity Hamburg) and David Lodhi (Association for Popculture in Bavaria), said: “We are very excited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of ZEITGEIST next year in this special setting. Newcomers from Germany are gaining increasing attention on the British market as well; in recent years, we have clearly noticed that there is a strong interest in music from Germany. Acts like Giant Rooks and Kytes have already been part of ZEITGEIST and, thanks in part to this support, are now enjoying international success. Many thanks to the TGE team for their trust in this great collaboration!”
