Ashnikko is the latest addition to the NOS Stage lineup at NOS Alive'24, set to perform on July 12. The American artist, popularized on TikTok, will make her debut at Passeio Marítimo de Algés alongside names like Dua Lipa, Tyla, Michael Kiwanuka, AURORA, Floating Points, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Gloria Groove, Larkin Poe, The Heavy, Genesis Owusu, Tourist, T-Rex, and Jüra.
Ashnikko's music is like portals, instantly transporting us to a hyperactive, sensual, and fantastical universe, where emotions are dramatized, gender stereotypes are disrupted, and revenge reigns supreme.
Since 2016, when she uploaded her first song, "Krokodil," on SoundCloud, Ashnikko has been steadily growing as one of the most promising artists in the industry. From instant hits like "Halloweenie" and "STUPID (ft. Yung Baby Tate)"—which achieved gold certification in the United States and Canada—to the alternative pop of viral successes like "Daisy" and "Slumber Party (ft. Princess Nokia)," her sound is constantly evolving, anchored by a mischievous humor and a subversive personality that couldn't belong to anyone else.
Throughout her career, Ashnikko has continued to surprise and innovate, collaborating with artists like Doja Cat and Lady Gaga, contributing to soundtracks, and remix albums.
While DEMIDEVIL (2021)—critically acclaimed and embraced by the public—showed a more direct approach, directly confronting themes of sexual revolution and revenge, her debut album WEEDKILLER (2023) is more allegorical, heading towards liberation and persevering through darkness to reach inevitable light.
All this talent takes shape and form live, with her energetic performances and captivating stage presence, which have taken her around the world, now arriving at Passeio Marítimo de Algés on July 12 to perform at the NOS Stage of NOS Alive'24.
