IUMA – Garden Tour 2026

 

In August 2026, Berlin-based singer-songwriter IUMA will swap big stages for gardens and courtyards. For her “Garden Tour 2026”, she will travel across Germany, performing intimate concerts in gardens, courtyards and community spaces. Every concert is unique. The focus is on connections: the hosts help to shape the concert venues, invite neighbours and create special spaces for culture and interaction.

 

“I want to rethink concert touring and visit people who are keen to bring culture to where they live. Every venue tells a different story – that’s exactly what makes this tour so special.” – IUMA

 

On 16 August 2026, IUMA will give a concert at 3 pm in the Secret Gardens of Rolandswerth (Geheime Gärten Rolandswerth), which form part of the Skulpturenufer Remagen. The artist couple Caroline Bittermann and Peter Duka restored the historic Victorian gardens of the over 100-year-old Hentzenpark and transformed them, with a sculptural ensemble, into today’s Secret Gardens of Rolandswerth. Surrounded by old trees, a plant tower for bats and wild bees, and sculptural benches, a special atmosphere is created for the concert.

 

About IUMA

IUMA (*Karlsruhe, based in Berlin) released their debut EP “genug” in 2023.Produced by Novaa and Malugi, the EP enjoyed a fair bit of success (radio airplay on 1Live, DLF NOVA, WDR Cosmo and many more, as well as interviews with Kaltblut magazine, Zeitonline and various editorial playlists). In 2024 and 2025, IUMA supported artists such as Wilhelmine, CONNY, Joris and Marlo Grosshardt. In November 2026, she’ll be going on tour with Mine. IUMA’s new “3 Balladen EP” is set to be released in 2026. A radically honest, piano-driven EP about what it means to be a woman – navigating the tension between conformity, feeling overwhelmed, anger and the struggle not to lose oneself.
