Yemi Alade and Black Sherif join the lineup for Pop-Kultur festival
Yemi Alade and Black Sherif have joined the lineup for Berlin-based festival Pop-Kultur, which celebrates its tenth year in 2024.
Nigerian singer Yemi Alade, 22-year-old Black Sherif – Ghana's most sought-after rapper – alté musician Lady Donli and Kenyan multi-talent Blinky Bill are the new additions to the lineup for Pop-Kultur festival. Also confirmed is the Commissioned Works programme. Every year, 15 artists are invited to develop creative stage productions for Pop-Kultur, ranging from concerts and performances to theatre.
"In recent years, Pop-Kultur has premiered Commissioned Works by artists such as Kat Frankie, Sophia Kennedy, and Hendrik Otremba – unique, resonant experiences that set the festival apart from others. I’m very excited to see what awaits us in 2024 and look forward to performances that dare to be different. It's particularly pleasing that this year involves four acts – Christin Nichols, Hope, Schneider TM, and Steve Mekoudja – who have all been funded by Initiative Musik," Katja Lucker, Managing Director of Initiative Musik and former director and founder of Pop-Kultur says.
Pop-Kultur takes place from 28-30 August 2024. For more information, visit pop-kultur.berlin.
