Introducing four acts from the PopCamp Class of 2025: Ceci, elimako, Vandalisbin, and Yetundey. Concentrated FLINTA power—it’s going to be loud, emotional, and wild. Come join us for a reunion of the PopCamp Class of 2025 with drinks and great music. The reception starts at 5:30 p.m. at Helios 37, and the concert begins at 6:15 p.m.

CECI is a German-Canadian indie pop artist whose music blends dreamy lightness with emotional depth—carried by gentle synths, playful guitars, and a voice that sounds both mysterious and familiar. With her band, she creates a warm, nostalgic sound that blends indie, pop, and soul, somewhere between daydreaming, self-discovery, and the dance floor.

elimako creates emotional indie pop that blends gentle, often minimalist melodies with intense and deeply personal lyrics. What sets her apart is her unflinching honesty: in her songs, she addresses inner conflicts, doubts, and personal growth so directly that her voice feels like a familiar inner voice speaking directly to you. Get ready for a tender, honest sound and let yourself be drawn into elimako’s world of thought.

VANDALISBIN macht Musik, die nicht fragt, ob sie reinpasst, sie nimmt sich Raum. Zwischen Soul, Indie-Rock und poetischem, queerem Pop entsteht ein Sound, der ebenso verletzlich wie kämpferisch ist, getragen von einer markanten Stimme, die an Rio Reiser, Chappell Roan oder Faber erinnert und direkt unter die Haut geht.

YETUNDEY makes music that doesn’t ask if it fits in—it simply takes up space. Blending soul, indie rock, and poetic, queer pop, the result is a sound that is as vulnerable as it is defiant, carried by a distinctive voice reminiscent of Rio Reiser, Chappell Roan, or Faber that gets right under your skin.

Right in the thick of it: Lila Sovia, the fifth participant in the 2025 PopCamp cohort. <3
