Solar Fake

Solar Fake lands in Madrid on May 2, 2026, at Sala Nazca. Behind the name is Sven Friedrich, the Berlin-born vocalist and composer who made his mark with Dreadful Shadows and Zeraphine before launching this project in 2007. His line is clear: electronic music that crosses synthpop and futurepop with echoes of dark wave, featuring the voice at the forefront, direct synthetic melodies and rhythms conceived for the dancefloor. The lyrics, in English, move between introspection, disenchantment and an unflinching social outlook.

Live, Solar Fake operates as a compact electronic outfit focused on the tension between catchy choruses that stick and darker atmospheres. The setlist typically spans his entire career, from Broken Grid and Frontiers to Reasons to Kill, Another Manic Episode, You Win. Who Cares? and Enjoy Dystopia. Expectations are clear: precise beats, layers of synthesizers that swell and recede, and a voice that drives each track without losing the pulse of the club. The show alternates melodic moments with denser passages, aimed at those who follow the dark and alternative scene and anyone simply looking for a sharp, well-honed electronic jolt.
