Simplon UP
HAITZE + LauLau

When HAITZE first touched an electric guitar, he was instantly transported to another world. A place where introverts take the spotlight, and everyone is equal. However, the stigma around “masculinity” troubles him. No matter how you identify, we all possess both masculine and feminine energies, complementing and strengthening each other. Yet many men hide their feminine side, fearing it will be seen as “weak.” HAITZE wants to remind you that it’s okay to be afraid.

LauLau blends intense euphoria with pounding danceability into monster hits that drown in a sea of synthesizers. He sings with deadly seriousness about being addicted to YouTube, cat videos, and fitness blogs, about friends who don’t call back, about trying to escape his problems in a forest, and about wanting to dance just a little bit longer. 

LauLau wants you to believe in yourself, find your strength, and have an outlet. LauLau is a one-man wall of sound, mixing electroclash, synthpop, hip hop, and dance, on top of which you’ll be standing as you lose yourself on this night at Simplon UP.

Alongside the acts, DJ Djürüm will tie the evening together with some grooving tunes.
