Closing Party Various Others at Blitz Club
In May 2026, the music series TUNE (Haus der Kunst) and the festival RITOURNELLE (Blitz Club, Münchner Kammerspiele, among others) join forces for the first time. Presented within the framework of the contemporary art festival Various Others, TUNE X RITOURNELLE unfolds across three consecutive evenings, establishing a multifaceted musical program at the intersection of art and club culture.
The official closing party of Various Others takes place on Saturday, May 16, 2026 at Blitz Club in the Deutsches Museum — a venue that has profoundly shaped Munich’s club culture and will close its doors permanently this August. Titled RITOURNELLE X TUNE, the evening is both celebration and farewell. The lineup brings together defining voices in contemporary electronic music.
Tickets will be avaliable soon.
Nkisi, co-founder of NON Worldwide, interweaves polyrhythmic structures, kraut-inflected spiritual synth textures, and radical techno approaches into a singular, multifaceted sound. Frequently working within dance and performance contexts — including collaborations with choreographer Tiran Willemse — she inaugurated the TUNE series in Munich in 2021. The legendary voice of dub poet Tikiman (aka Paul St. Hilaire) — which enveloped seminal Basic Channel releases of the 1990s in a haze of depth and resonance — meets DJ Richard Akingbehin to create a low-frequency echo chamber between reggae, dub, and techno, suspended between futurism and memory. Blawan has spent over a decade shaping a universe entirely his own. Since debuting on XL Recordings in 2021 with Woke Up Right Handed, he has continued to push his sound into ever more daring territory, blending distorted drum architectures, piercing synth work, and his own unmistakable vocal into disorienting, genre-defying forms. His live and DJ performances — including collaborations with Skrillex — have cemented his reputation as a singular force, and at Blitz Club he has already left behind a series of truly legendary sets. Finally, the young producer MJK returns to Munich. Following his unforgettable Plus-Floor Set at the 2023 edition of RITOURNELLE, he now makes his Main Floor debut alongside Pariah for a back-to-back DJ set traversing dubstep mutations, grime fragments, and breakbeat-inflected techno. On the Secret Floor, Munich-based visual artist Anna Lekavski, known as Sarmabot, cultivates her distinct strand of the city’s underground scene, while Authentically Plastic presents yet another facet of their expansive artistic practice within a club context.The evening will be opened by a live set by Carl Gari (Jonas Yamer and Till Funke) & Lynne Azzam — a collaboration born from a shared sensibility, where Carl Gari, operating at the intersection of guitar music and club-driven genres meets Lynne Azzam’s drifting voice and Arabic melodic fragments, surfacing through hazy indie textures.
TUNE, curated by Sarah Miles, is the music series of Haus der Kunst and serves as a platform for contemporary, experimental, and cross-disciplinary sound practices. In dialogue with the exhibition program, it conceives concerts and live formats as an expanded artistic field between visual art, performance, and club culture.
RITOURNELLE, founded in 2012 by Tobias Staab at the Münchner Kammerspiele, is a festival series dedicated to advanced electronic pop and club music. Continuously evolving, it has inhabited diverse venues across Munich — including Blitz Club — and has extended beyond the city, notably within the Ruhrtriennale (2015–2017). RITOURNELLE brings together artistic positions that interlace experimental sound cultures, transdisciplinary approaches, and the intensities of the club.
