Clueso

Clueso will play at the Uber Arena in Berlin on March 21, 2026. The musician from Erfurt began in the late ’90s with hip-hop and reggae influences and gradually steered his work toward pop and acoustic songwriting. From Text und Ton through Gute Musik, Weit weg, So sehr dabei and An und für sich to Stadtrandlichter, Neuanfang, the stripped-down travel project Handgepäck I and Album, a common thread emerges: German lyrics with a penchant for storytelling that swing between rapped passages, sung melodies, soulful tones and a clear pop idiom. Live, Clueso performs with a tight, well-rehearsed band that leaves room for voice and stories, at times accented electronically, at others pared back with guitar and piano. In Berlin he expands this catalogue further, linking early songs with newer tracks whose production and arrangements have become leaner and more spacious. The set highlights shifts in tension and timing, from sustained verses to choruses that land — a stage for language, groove and subtle dynamics.
