"f u jonathan": panicbaby and Jolina Louise Live in Berlin
Everything she has ever loved has claw marks on it! There were a lot of firsts for her over the last couple of weeks. A couple of days after releasing her debut EP f u jonathan, Sophie, better known as panicbaby, kicked off her first headlining tour with a sold-out show on February 18th, 2026, at Kantine am Berghain in Berlin. With other shows scheduled in London, Paris, Amsterdam and Warsaw, panicbaby had a very special surprise: there would be special guests joining her.
Berlin definitely got lucky, as for the opening night, panicbaby chose THE UNSEEN Mag's darling and covergirl, Jolina Louise, as opener. Especially the front row was excited to see her as some of Jolina's biggest fans made a pilgrimage to see their favorite singer live - two of them even making it on stage with her later on during the performance of her song "Red Lights" Performing songs off her debut EP Hemisphere, the room lit up with flashlights when Jolina sang the emotinal ballad "Universe", later it filled up with singing after Jolina taught the crowd lyrics to "No One Compares". But the 19-year-old singer also had a surprise for the audience: Debuting an upcoming song "Belt", a song she might perform again very soon!
Because Jolina Louise was just announced as the support act on Eileen Alister's Honeymoon Motel Tour in cities across Europe, including London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, and Paris.
The sold-out venue got hot pretty quickly when panicbaby entered the stage! And as the lights reflected off the disco ball in the middle of the room, the audience was able to soak up her debut project live as one of the first.
In addition to her own songs, like "other boys are boring", "soft prn" or "avoidant little b <3" panicbaby also delivered a beautiful rendition of MARINA's "Primadonna Girl". And since all good things come in threes, panicbaby performed her biggest hit, "Claw Marks," three times. Starting it off on the omnichord, then later on again in full production, and for good measure, one last time during the encore. After the intense but brief show, both panicbaby and Jolina Louise met up with fans, giving the audience a chance to grab a vinyl, a shirt, a pic, or simply just go up for a quick little chat.
