Rian

Christmas Show. In German language.

What happened there? Just a few years ago, he was a promising newcomer; today, he’s already one of the most influential voices in German-language pop. When “Schwarzes Schaf” went viral in 2023, it was a preview of Rian’s ability—who also made his breakthrough as a successful comedy influencer—to connect with the zeitgeist in a way that’s both relevant and unembarrassing to the mainstream.

In doing so, the young Carinthian singer-songwriter has also found his style: he combines German-language indie pop with clever comedy and always infuses his work with sociopolitical relevance for a good cause. His songs are whimsical gems in the tradition of Kaffkiez, Danger Dan, Antilopen Gang, Falco, Manu Chao, or Jonathan Richman—fun and danceable at first listen, yet deep, (self-)critical, and always empathetic. The path of pop music—from the feet through the heart to the head—has rarely felt so right.

With “Verwandtschaftstreffen” in 2024, he achieved his big breakthrough: millions of streams, chart-topping hits, awards, and massive radio airplay made the song one of the defining German-language pop tracks of the year. His debut album “Blumendisko” has since been released and impressively underscores that Rian is more than just a viral sensation—he’s an artist with a clear vision and lasting success.

A special highlight is coming up at the end of 2026: With his Christmas show, Rian swaps mulled wine for guitars and delivers what might just be the most charming finale of the live season. An intimate holiday celebration featuring new songs, fan favorites, and spontaneous comedy moments!
