Naomi Westlake will be performing at Sunday Beats on Sunday, September 21st 2025.

Feeling the bass in your veins and questioning the world at the same time is a match in her music. Naomi Westlake moved to Berlin at the age of 20 to make a name for herself with her definition of electronic off-pop. She combines modern Anglicism with profound, German pop lyrics and thematically always picks up on the escapism of her existence. Her sound world is mostly inspired by British role models such as Charli XCX, Fred Again or Kenya Grace. Thanks to her bilingual upbringing, she began writing lyrics in
German and English and achieved international success by collaborating with artists such as Sonny Wern, Lyente and OldJim. Her remix single of Nena's “Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann”, together with OldJim and Caro van Ee, cracked the 3 million streams mark in 2024, and we can all be very excited to see what else is in store for us in the future. Their live set is as contrasting as their music. Her energy on stage is carried by strobe lights and techno dance moves, and at the same time she can silence an entire room with her quieter songs. Whether in a small setting as a DJ set or with a full band... Naomi makes people laugh and cry at the same time in no time at all.

The concert starts at 3 pm and is included in the park admission.
