Munich Gets a Dose of Cavetown’s Energy and Charm

English singer-songwriter Cavetown brought the Running With Scissors Tour to Technikum in Munich, on April 1st.

The evening began with Dreamer Isioma’s opening set which is best described as a captivating blend of smooth vocals and genre-bending soundscapes, that immediately drew the audience in. There was an intimacy in the way they held the room, with subtle crowd interactions, playful moments, as well as emotionally resonant moments. Their stage presence was captivating and their vocals floated with precision over layered beats, each track flowing into the next in order to create a dreamy atmosphere. The crowd was fully immersed in their performance and by the end of it, the room felt electric.

When Cavetown took the stage, the energy shifted into something that felt even more personal yet widely shared - opening with “Skip” made it feel like there was an immediate sense of closeness. That tone carried through “Cryptid” and “Sweet Tooth” where the audience singing along reflected the collective understanding.

As the set unfolded, songs such as “Rainbow”, “Tarmac” and “worm food” created a layered emotional pacing, while “Baby Spoon” and “Running With Scissors” added a playful, almost chaotic shift in the energy. The crowd played a huge role in shaping the atmosphere of the night by singing along passionately to fan-favorites “Juliet” and “Green”. The performance was sprinkled with small moments of humor and lovely interactions with the crowd, which made it feel very genuine.

Equally powerful was the sense of community in the room. Cavetown has cultivated a space where identity and emotion are not just accepted but embraced. Pride flags draped over shoulders and small but meaningful moments of acknowledgement from the stage contributed to an atmosphere where people could exist openly and comfortably. For many in the crowd it wasn’t just a concert, it was a place to feel seen.

By the time “Boys Will Be Bugs” hit, the energy in the room exploded into pure catharsis that the audience had been building toward all night. The encore brought everything back inward with “Home” and “Devil Town”. Cavetown’s performance was about connection - the pacing, the lighting and the setlist all worked in service of creating a safe, open space where identity is affirmed and everyone can exist a little more freely.
