BERLIN MANSON + Adam the World at Art Cafe

BERLIN MANSON

are a Slovak synth-punk band. Their uncompromising lyrics and explosive live performances have made them one of the most talked-about bands in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

They first caught the public’s attention with their breakthrough single ‘Netancujem, kývnem hlavou’ (‘I Don’t Dance, I Nod My Head’), a raw anthem of disillusionment. In 2022, they were named Discovery of the Year at the Radio_Head Awards (SK), and just one year later, their album *Hotel Kyjev* cemented their status. In 2025, Berlin Manson took home three Radio_Head Awards, confirming their place in the new wave of music.

Over the past two years, they have released three albums – a testament to their tireless creativity, which blends punk urgency, black humour and cold synth textures. Their music speaks to post-industrial reality, addressing protest and partying in equal measure. In 2025, they played gigs at a number of major festivals, including Sziget in Hungary, the OFF Festival in Poland, the Pohoda Festival in Slovakia, Colours of Ostrava in the Czech Republic and Eurosonic Noorderslag in the Netherlands, amongst many others. This year, they kicked off with a tour in Poland and two concerts in New York. On 2 October, they released an album entitled *Cheap Fashion*, for which they are launching a tour across 15 cities in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

They’ll be supported by our favourite Prague-based act, Adam the World.

ADAM THE WORLD

often evokes nostalgia in his songs, with an emphasis on impressions and emotions. An important part of his music is the exploration of social structures and their interconnections. Genres-wise, his songs are varied, though elements of neo-soul, trap and alternative R&B feature most prominently.

“For me, nostalgia is a state in which you feel at home, even though you know you shouldn’t stay there too long. That comfort in sadness is treacherous – it gives you the feeling that you understand yourself, but at the same time it can hold you back from moving forward. I’ve always been fascinated by just how much what we experience on the inside is influenced by what’s happening on the outside. I can’t write in a purely personal way, nor in a purely social way. Everything that affects me is somehow interconnected – both anxiety and hope.”
