JJ « Act II - Into the Unknown Tour »

JJ brings his Act II – Into The Unknown Tour to WUK in Vienna on 11 October 2026. Under this moniker, Vienna-born singer Johannes Pietsch pushes a contemporary pop writing shaped by classical technique, carried by a bright countertenor that climbs high. Born in 2001 to Austrian and Filipino parents and raised for years in Dubai, he blends karaoke habits with formal vocal training into a direct, vocal‑led approach. He first drew notice in The Voice UK (2020) and Starmania (2021), while studying at the Vienna State Opera’s opera school and at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna.

On stage, JJ keeps the format concise and melodic: pop structures meeting operatic phrasing, harmonies stacked tight, words kept to the point. The tour leans on his 2026 EP Into the Unknown and on the singles that set the tone — Wasted Love, which won Eurovision 2025 for Austria, along with Back to Forgetting and Haunting Me. Between intimate passages and sharper surges, the live set puts the voice at the center, where the pop line and the operatic delivery move together without fuss.
