Pablo Brooks - Pleaser Tour 2024

Pablo Brooks from Düsseldorf has played almost fifty often sold-out headline concerts with his band in the last two years, from Vienna to Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Amsterdam and London. Largely unnoticed by business and the media, but deeply loved by his numerous fans. With "Pleaser" he is now releasing his second EP this summer. Pleaser stands for the feeling of losing yourself as a 20-year-old in the middle of a big city. Being so lost that you secretly hope to be found by other people. It's about relationships, with lovers and friends, but above all about the confusing relationship with yourself. How you feel love and lust, desire and pleasure, anger and bitterness and self-sabotage and how this changes in the agonizingly long coming-of-age process. Pablo's songs are always very visual. Like film scenes in a neon-flickering night. Most of the songs for this record were written on the train. Either on the way to a party or on the way home. And it's always about longing, especially for things that you'll never achieve anyway. This whirlwind of emotions is drenched in thick, international pop, but it's also not far from dance music, indie rock, folk or synth pop. Catchy melodies meet storytelling lyrics about youth, loss, mental health struggles or queerness, which radiate from the lives of people the same age in such a disarming, pointed and unsparing way that the whole hall can sing along at concerts from the first to the very last line. And at the front is the jumping, dancing, sweating and unrestrainedly compassionate Master of Ceremony Pablo Brooks, night after night.
