Austrian indie-pop act Bilderbuch debuts at Öllesummer festival with new multi-instrumentalist
The folk stage at this year’s Öllesummer festival in Tallinn is buzzing with an unexpected twist: the Austrian indie-pop act Bilderbuch has made a surprise debut in the lineup, replacing former guitarist Mike Krammer with multi-instrumentalist Uche Yara. The band’s Friday night performance at the Flex club in Vienna, where Yara stepped in for the first time, drew an immediate reaction from frontman Maurice Ernst, whose tears on stage underscored the emotional weight of the transition. “The machine is running again,” declared the Austrian press, as the band’s Instagram announcement of three Flex shows—with a pay-what-you-want model—sparked a queue of hopeful fans by Wednesday morning. Registration filled within hours, and by late evening, attendees received confirmation of their spots, setting the stage for a weekend of high-energy indie anthems and collective catharsis.
The substitution comes at a pivotal moment for Bilderbuch, whose sound has long relied on Krammer’s guitar work. Yara, an Austrian singer-songwriter known for her versatility across strings and percussion, seamlessly integrated into the band’s dynamic, according to early reviews. Critics noted that the absence of Krammer—who left earlier this year—was barely perceptible, a testament to Yara’s adaptability and the band’s tight-knit chemistry. “The tears of Maurice Ernst dried quickly,” reported *Die Presse*, capturing the moment when the band’s resilience overcame the emotional hurdle of change.
The Öllesummer festival, now in its third day, has become a proving ground for more than just musical talent. Organizers have emphasized the event’s dual focus on live music and culinary innovation, with festival-goers sampling everything from craft beers to artisanal cocktails. A viral TikTok trend among attendees—documenting everything from midnight campfire sessions to impromptu dance-offs—has amplified the festival’s reputation as a hub for both cultural exchange and unscripted revelry. “The memories come back, but the money doesn’t,” quipped one Estonian attendee, reflecting the festival’s ethos of prioritizing experience over expense.
Meanwhile, the broader European festival circuit is grappling with its own challenges. At the Eurockéennes de Belfort, the latest edition faced criticism for a lackluster headline set by French rapper Orelsan, despite promising performances by emerging acts like Irish singer Dove Ellis and England’s Sleaford Mods. The contrast with Öllesummer’s grassroots energy highlights the diversity of Europe’s summer music scene, where underground venues like Vienna’s Flex and Tallinn’s open-air stages offer contrasting visions of live performance.
For Bilderbuch, the Öllesummer appearance marks a new chapter—one that blends tradition with reinvention. As Yara takes her place among the band’s core members, the question lingers: Can the “machine” keep running without Krammer? The answer, at least for now, seems to be a resounding yes.

RadomirThere were many more peaks and other things to see in Greece, but this is a relatively short summer with a lot of ground to cover, so it was time to move on after Olympus.

Неон исчезает с улиц Гонконга. А ведь когда-то именно этот город повлиял на зарождение киберпанка (да, и на «Бегущего по лезвию» тоже). Вот как выглядел ночной город 30 лет назад. Фотографии В гонконгской галерее Blue Lotus идет выставка «Город огней» (City of Lights), на которой представлен большой архив британского фотографа Кита Макгрегора. Несколько десятилетий он жил между Европой и Азией, а в 1980-х занимался в Гонконге мебельным бизнесом. Одновременно с этим увлекся фотографией — и решил запечатлеть сверкающие неоном ночные улицы города. К 1990-м его снимки уже печатали на открытках, а в 2002-м вышла его популярная книга «Неоновый город: Гонконг ночью» («Neon City: Hong Kong at Night»).
