On March 27th, indie folk band Black Sea Dahu returns to VEGA. With them, they bring a new album that exudes the fragile beauty of sadness and hope.

Black Sea Dahu master the art of creating contrasting indie folk music like few others. With fragments of life's diverse emotions, they gather longings and joys into beautiful musical mosaics, wrapped delicately in hand-played guitars, strings and softly landing drums.

The band themselves describe their music as standing barefoot in a roaring storm – here you are completely exposed, but also completely present in life. In the same way, the seven-piece band themselves are both unbelievably fragile, insanely fearless and completely magnetic when they take the live stage.

And with a reputation as a particularly fantastic live band, Black Sea Dahu has played sold-out concerts all over Europe – including in VEGA, where they played to a sold-out Ideal Bar in 2023. On March 27th, Black Sea Dahu will bring new dreamy and pain-seeking songs from their third album release Everything.

On the album, which will be released on February 20, 2026, Black Sea Dahu digs deeper than they have done before and exposes what life contains of sorrow, hope, reckoning - and the fragile beauty of carrying it all at once.

Everything is grief processing captured in sound. Because when the frontwoman of the band Janine Cathrein lost her father, there was only one place to place it all, she says in a press release: “Only in music can I sit with this grief without going mad.”

Black Sea Dahu's mix of indie folk, chamber pop and art rock speaks directly to the heart. And in a world filled with noise, they offer their audience something rare: soft truths that stab where life can be felt.

The concert is supported by Liveurope. Liveurope is the first pan-European initiative supporting concert venues in their efforts to promote emerging European artists. Liveurope is co-funded by the EU's Creative Europe programme.

Somewhere between psychedelic daydream and Sunday morning reality lives Löwenzahnhonig — a band as tender and unpredictable as their name suggests. Formed on a whim in Zürich in late 2021, the trio of Fai Baba, Long Tall Jefferson, and Paul Märki (ex-Black Sea Dahu) never meant to start a band. But when three musicians who’ve played hundreds of shows and made many albums come together, songs happen. Fast.

Their second album Kirschblütenboogie (2025) follows their acclaimed debut — a lovingly loose, subtly crafted collection of instrumental tunes that feel like a warm breeze through strange weather. The music drifts between Khruangbin’s mellow psych-funk, Hermanos Gutiérrez’ desert blues, and the cinematic elegance of Connan Mockasin or Mac DeMarco.
