Bluebird Cafe C2C Berlin
The legendary Bluebird Cafe returns to Passionskirche Berlin in 2026, and the final line-up of the show has now been officially confirmed. Jackson Dean, Tyler Braden, Mae Estes and Liam St. John will perform on 5 March in the unique “In the Round” setting. Intimate acoustic sets, personal stories and pure Nashville charm await the audience. Once again, the event will open Europe’s largest country music festival, C2C: Country to Country.
For more than 40 years, the Bluebird Cafe has been regarded as a launching pad for singer-songwriters such as Garth Brooks, Faith Hill and Taylor Swift. The format creates a special closeness between artists and audience, making every performance an unforgettable experience. In 2026, the event once again promises a line-up that combines Nashville flair, emotional depth and powerful performances.
Jackson Dean is one of Nashville’s most exciting young singer-songwriters. With his smoky voice, profound lyrics and charismatic stage presence, he has established himself internationally. His debut album “Greenbroke” and the platinum single “Don’t Come Lookin’” made him the youngest male country solo artist to top the charts with a debut release in 2022. In 2025, his album “On The Back Of My Dreams” was released, featuring hits such as “Heavens To Betsy”. That same year, he toured under the same name, performed in three German cities and impressed audiences at C2C 2025 in Berlin. Jackson has also toured with Toby Keith, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, delivering live shows full of intense country emotion and energy.

Tyler Braden blends classic country with an electrifying stage presence. With his powerful voice, distinctive guitar riffs and honest songwriting, he has established himself as a country powerhouse. His EPs “What Do They Know” and “Neon Grave”, along with more than 335 million global streams, underline his success. Braden has toured with Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn and Dierks Bentley, turning every performance into a high-energy, authentic experience.
Mae Estes is one of the rising voices of modern country music. With her “plain-spoken truth” voice, she has built a steadily growing fan base. Her EP “Mae Estes” and singles such as “Thinkin’ Bout Cheatin’” have taken her to stages including the Grand Ole Opry and CMA Fest, as well as on tour with Brad Paisley and Luke Bryan. As AIMP’s Rising Songwriter-Artist of the Year 2024 and CMT’s Next Women of Country 2024, Estes impresses with emotional depth and compelling live performances.
Liam St. John combines Americana, blues and rock ’n’ roll into an electrifying sound. With his distinctive, gritty voice and personal lyrics, he has established himself as a genre-crossing crooner. Following his hit “Dipped in Bleach”, he is currently working on his debut studio album and touring at events such as CMA Fest and Americana Festival, as well as on North American headline tours. St. John delivers intense live shows that transport audiences into the world of modern country rock.
The Bluebird Cafe once again promises unforgettable moments in 2026. Intimate songs, personal stories and the unique magic of a format that has connected artists closely with audiences for more than 40 years make this evening truly special. Following this, the C2C weekend takes place, during which the Uber Eats Music Hall and the surrounding area of Uber Platz Berlin will once again be transformed into the pulsating heart of the country music scene.
