An intimate concert evening with fresh voices from Swabia
On Saturday, May 16, 2026, the series Sound of Schwaben will bring together two very different but stylistically appealing acts in the billiard room of the Kurhaus Göggingen: the Augsburg singer-songwriter nica and the four-member band Antipasti. The evening starts at 8:00 PM, doors open at 7:30 PM, and admission is free. Seats are limited, and registration is not required.

Closeness instead of distance
The format consciously focuses on the live atmosphere of a small room: close to the sound, close to the stories, close to the audience's reactions. This is where the excitement of this concert experience lies. nica stands for gentle, personal songs with fine fingerpicking and a voice that creates intimacy; Antipasti, as a young band, bring their organically developed, regionally tested band sound.

nica: soft tones, great impact
nica describes her music as authentic, gentle, and approachable. According to her official artist page, she studied singing and piano in Maastricht, gained experience in the duo Nica & Joe, reached second place in X-Factor, and later performed as the opening act for Sarah Connor and on a Germany tour with Holiday on Ice. Her solo work focuses on emotional melodies, personal thoughts, and a stage presence that creates immediate closeness. ([nica-music.com](https://www.nica-music.com/?utm_source=openai))
Antipasti: grown from rehearsal room, stage, and EP
Antipasti formed in 2022 and intensively developed their sound from 2023 in a garden house. Their first major performances followed in 2024, including the Modular Festival Augsburg and the Hammersound Festival in the Weilheim-Schongau district, as well as other concerts from Regensburg to Konstanz. With the singles Kopflos and Nebel and the EP Es hat wieder geschneit released in 2025, the band shows how fresh pop and indie energy can be translated into a coherent live sound.

The Kurhaus Göggingen is one of the most distinctive venues in Augsburg. The historic building at Klausenberg 6 is barrier-free, and the park theater is set back on the grounds. For those arriving by car, the location refers to the B17 exit Göggingen/Kurhaus; the tram stop Göggingen Rathaus is reachable in a few minutes. Parking options are available in the vicinity.

Why this evening feels special
Sound of Schwaben thrives on the dynamic between concentrated listening and immediate audience atmosphere. The combination of nica's reduced, emotional song aesthetics and Antipasti's band-driven energy promises an evening of contrast, warmth, and palpable musicality. Especially in the small space, arrangements, dynamics, and stage performance fully unfold their impact. Anyone wishing to discover new voices from the region will experience a concert with character and depth here.
