Welcome to Apropos' declaration of love for Wonderfestiwall on Bornholm 2025. A festival where sea, sky, ruins and green hills merge into a scene that feels like something you almost don't think exists. It's not about being the biggest, the fastest or the wildest. It's about doing things right — in the Bornholm way. So yes, we love Wonder. And here's what not to miss:

Anastacia — Powerpop, sunglasses and guilty pleasures without guilt
Anastacia plays on Wonder, and it somehow feels just right. There is singing I'm Outta Love with fists in the air being danced with on Left Outside Alone, and lynx is given in the way you can only stand on Bornholm surrounded by sea views and draft beer in plastic glasses. It's going to be huge, it's going to be silly, and it's going to be 100% without ironic distance.
Medina — Pop queen on home turf
Medina is not just an artist. She's a sensation. When she hits the Wonder stage, all the best of Danish pop will be gathered in one place: from the early Only for me-vibes to the newer, more pensive ballads. We bet on both tears in the corner of the eye and lots of sing-with-magic under the starry sky.
D-A-D — Your Mom's Favorite Rockers (and Your Friends')
D-A-D is the kind of band that shouldn't be able to go on -- and that just keeps going anyway. They have guitars, they have energy, and they have Sleeping My Day Away lying poised like a gift package exploding in community song. A concert where it suddenly feels completely natural to make air guitar along with 3000 others in the middle of a green adventure.
Lamin — The Voice of the New Generation
Lamin is one of the strongest young voices in Danish hip hop right now. He's taking the big city to Bornholm, but in a way that still feels like something you can dance to in rubber boots. His lyrics have edge and warmth, and we expect a concert that both kicks, hits -- and gathers.
Viper — Rock'n'Roll at Bornholm Battery
There's something about Viper that doesn't ask permission. They just stand up and make a noise -- as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Simon Kvamm has put the Nephew suit in the drawer and found something more raw, something that sounds like cellars, fists and old amplifiers with brand new plug flames. At Wonder, you can expect a concert that wallows around with both self-irony and noise. It's rock that your mom hates and that you thought you had outgrown -- right up until you stand in the middle of it, bawling along like you were still 17 and had your whole life ahead of you.
Peter Sommer — Poetic on the Edge of the Rock
Peter Sommer is a master at making few words feel like whole novels. He plays on Wonder with his entire vulnerable, wry, gleaming catalog of songs that can something special when allowed to soar beyond the ocean. It becomes intimate, it becomes poetic, and it becomes something like this that you can't quite explain afterwards -- only notice.
