Concert FRAUPAUL and Missratene Töchter at Knust
2026-03-08 20:00 - 23:00 | Knust, Neuer Kamp 30, Hamburg, 20357
On March 8, 2026, Feminist Day of Action, we’re teaming up with Knust to bring the full force of feminist power to the stage starting at 8 p.m.!
Featuring:
FRAUPAUL
If she didn’t already exist, she’d have to be invented. FRAUPAUL is different and in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. Direct, powerful, and on top of that, intelligent. Lisa Paul, Mary Vonk, and Linda Sidaro move between indie rock and pop punk and formed in Hamburg in 2021. Since then, they have earned enormous respect and recognition! With broad walls of guitar, driving rhythms, and German lyrics, the trio combines musical power with social relevance. Themes such as relationships, politics, and mental health are at the heart of their songs, which are uncompromisingly honest, accessible, and full of energy.

MISSRATENE TÖCHTER
Missratene Töchter combine punk songwriting with detailed synth sounds and polyphonic pop vocals with scream elements. Between trash, depth, and irony, lyrics sail from the heart to the brain. Born in Hamburg’s subcultural scene as an anarchist chanson duo with an acoustic style, the band expanded in 2023 with their second album, “Eternal Blame,” to become a rock band with electronic influences.

Advance tickets are available here.
Hard tickets for 20 euros can be purchased directly from us. Just send us an email at: info@frauenmusikzentrum.de
We are really looking forward to a weekend full of feminist empowerment!
