Mine confirmed: FLINTA* Music Force Showcase 2026 is looking for the final act

The FLINTA* Music Force Showcase is back for round three – and we’re beyond excited to announce the first act for 2026: Mine.

On September 16, 2026, together with Music Women* Germany, we’ll once again bring powerful FLINTA* artists to the Reeperbahn Festival stage. After two successful editions, our showcase will once again take place at Schmidtchen on Spielbudenplatz – a venue that stands for diversity, creative freedom, and new perspectives.

With Mine, we’re welcoming an artist to our stage who has been proving for years that success and artistic integrity don’t have to be a contradiction. Her songs are smart, moving, challenging – and often at their strongest exactly where others don’t dare to go. With her unmistakable mix of pop, indie, hip-hop, and electronic influences, the musician, producer, and creative voice has secured a firm place in the German music scene and inspires an entire generation of artists. For us, there could hardly be a more fitting kickoff for this year’s showcase.

And the best part: the line-up keeps growing. Two more acts are already confirmed and will be announced in the coming weeks.

But there’s still one spot left on our stage.

Your chance at a showcase slot at the Reeperbahn Festival

Together with Music Women* Germany, we’re once again awarding a showcase slot this year through an open application process.

We’re looking for FLINTA* artists – meaning women, lesbians, inter, non-binary, trans, agender, and other genderqueer people – who want to present their music on one of Europe’s most important festival stages.

Whether you’re already performing regularly or just starting to build your project: we want to hear your music.

How to apply

• Applications open: June 15, 2026
• Application deadline: July 15, 2026

To take part, you’ll need a free recordJet account as well as free registration with Music Women* Germany. After that, a joint jury will review all applications and select the final act for the showcase.

The winner will be announced in late July or early August and published together with our final line-up wave.

Apply here.

Why we’re doing this

For us, the FLINTA* Music Force Showcase is much more than a concert night.

For three years, together with strong partners, we’ve been creating visibility for artists who are still not equally represented on festival stages and in the music industry. We want to support talent, strengthen networks, and create a space where music, exchange, and new connections take center stage.

In 2026, the showcase will once again be part of a larger network: together with Music Women* Germany, MEWEM, FAEMM, Keychange, and many other initiatives, we’re sending a signal for more diversity and equal opportunities in the music industry.
