YAEL DECKELBAUM

is a platinum-selling Israeli-Canadian singer/songwriter and activist. Like Joan Baez and Pete Seeger, Yael is recognized by many people as a groundbreaking musical activist of our time. With the streets as her stage and marching women as her audience, Yael has led various women’s marches in over 10 different countries over the past two years – from Europe to Asia to the Americas to Africa. Yael performs internationally in Israel, Europe and the USA, where she is increasingly active in using her music to inspire positive change and support non-violent communication between cultures in conflict, emphasizing the need for female leadership.

We are delighted to have secured Yael Deckelbaum once again as a headliner for our festival. She previously captivated participants at the Matriarchy for Future 2025 festival with her songs and her «Voice Ceremony.»

Her song «Prayer of the Mothers» was created in collaboration with the courageous women who spearheaded the “Women Wage Peace” movement. Thousands of women marched from northern Israel to Jerusalem to call for peace. In this video, Palestinian and Israeli women unite in a «March of Hope» across the desert sands and pray together for peace at Qasr el Yahud, near the Dead Sea. This visionary song later became an international peace anthem.

MEERA EILABOUNI

is an Israeli-Arab musician and post-production manager. From a young age, she advocated for peace through art and music and worked with various female artists to celebrate diversity. She is very active in building communities and implementing the message of unity and female leadership. She also works on many TV shows and social media videos where she talks about social change and the uniqueness of different cultures.

She received the Günter Wallraff Prize for Human Rights for her musical collaboration with Yael Deckelbaum.

Anyone who wants to talk about the multi-instrumentalist Meera Eilabouni cannot avoid talking about the war in the Middle East. As an activist for the Palestinian women’s organization «Women of the Sun», among other things, she tirelessly uses her gentle voice to campaign for peace. She uses large loudspeakers to play We Shall Overcome over the walls on Israel’s borders and hopes to start a discourse through reactions.

For her, music is the key to healing wounds, but also to abolishing the patriarchal structures that have brought the world to where it is now.

MORGAINE

seeks to encourage people to fully embrace their own creative potential and to open their hearts once more to compassion, love, and understanding. We can change the world for the better. If we have the courage to face our own shadows and bring light into ourselves, we can also bring light into the world.

Despite being scarred by severe chronic illness, abuse, violence, and personal tragedies, she managed to break free from the chains of her past. Today, through her profound lyrics and her warm, clear voice, she helps others who are facing similar struggles.

With our song «Nie wieder ist jetzt» (Never Again Is Now) we want to show what a different path might look like—a path for everyone, regardless of origin, identity, or history. The song was born of pain, yet it carries hope within it. It is our musical vision of a future defined by peace and coexistence. It does not depict the present. We firmly believe that such a future is possible—through empathy, compassion, love, forgiveness, equality, freedom, education, justice, and courage. Peace is not a dream; it is a choice—one made anew every day. Music can build bridges where walls would otherwise stand. And that is exactly what we aim to do: connect hearts, open spaces, and remind everyone that a different future is possible—together.

ENCANTADA

Amanda was born in Buenos Aires and grew up in Munich in a family of musicians. From childhood, she was immersed in the world of sound and song and learned to play the guitar—an instrument that always accompanies her on stage. As her friends say: «Amanda was singing before she could speak.»

Her solo project, «Encantada», was born in 2021 in the Spanish city of Salamanca, where she began performing in public spaces, museums, and bars. The project’s name reflects the richness that Spanish—her second language—offers her; it is a word that cannot be translated literally into German and centers on the things she likes and loves.

With their new single «Cumbia pa’l arte» Encantada offers a first glimpse of their upcoming album—a work that navigates the space between resistance, intimacy, and hope. Created around March 8th, the song intertwines personal experiences with artistic and political expression. Inspired by creative forms of protest, it poses the question: What if art could offer more stability than reality itself?

«In a world that often feels overwhelming, art grounds us and gives us hope. Sometimes I wish I were art instead of a human being—and that is exactly what inspired this song.»

LISÆ

Rousing beats and a clear message – that is LISÆ, the feminist band that has been conquering the stages since 2024. Founded by Lise and Lisa, LISÆ stands for a modern mix of German and English pop, indie and rap. Their music is an angry, funny and at the same time empowering soundtrack for everyone who has had enough of social inequalities.

After their first successful appearances at events such as the CSD, Fridays for Future or the queer-feminist fight day, LISÆ make no secret of where they want to go: to thrill, to shake up, to move – and to leave the audience with energy and attitude.

Their latest song, «Wieder wach» (Awake Again), is an anthem of self-empowerment and collective awakening that blends catchy, memorable melodies with profound substance. Yet LISÆ is more than just music—they are a movement. Whether addressing feminist and queer issues, climate justice, or empowerment, Lise and Lisa skillfully weave relevant, intersectional messages into their songs, creating a platform for voices that often go unheard.

Their style? A blend of catchy melodies and powerful rap, enriched by influences ranging from indie-pop to driving hip-hop beats. Their live performances crackle with energy and charisma, fostering a connection with the audience that leaves no one indifferent. Let yourself be swept up by LISÆ and join a musical revolution that declares: It is time to wake up!
