⚡️Update: Camilla Sparks @ FMR Concert Night ⚡️⚡️

Due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, Aja Ireland will unfortunately not be able to join us for the for FMR26. However, we are very happy to announce that Camilla Sparksss has agreed to step in at short notice, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome her to the lineup.

We’re looking forward to an unforgettable concert night and can’t wait to see you all on Friday 5 June at Schosspark!

Camilla Sparksss (CH/CA)

Camilla Sparksss, born Barbara Lehnhoff, is a Swiss-Canadian electro noise pop musician and visual artist, also known for co-founding the post-punk band Peter Kernel. She was born at -27 degrees in Kenora, Ontario, Canada. And yes, her father flew a floatplane and she had a pet bear as a child. Her music blends high-energy performances with heavy beats pressed on dubplates, thick synths, and cutting vocals.

With over 1000 live shows across Europe, North Africa, Canada, and the US, she’s become a fixture in the international electronic and experimental music scene. In September 2025 she released her fourth full length album ICU RUN, via On The Camper Records: a renegade album about escape and refuge that will make you dance.

FMR 26 brings electronic music to the Schlossberg on two evenings — the opening night on Wednesday, 3 June, and the concert night on Friday, 5 June, both taking place at Schlosspark. The line-up presents artists whose sounds and visuals engage with ephemeral elements and resonate with art in digital contexts.

Concert Night
Friday, 5 June 2026, from 7.30 pm
Outer Schlosspark Meadow / Playground
with Apex Anima & FRZNTE (IS/DE), Camilla Sparksss (UK), and DJ Terror (AT)

Curated by qujOchÖ.

For the fourth time, the festival for art in digital contexts and public spaces is taking place in Linz. After previous editions at the Danube embankment (2019), around the Mühlkreisbahnhof (2021) and in the southern harbour area (2023), the Schlossberg will serve as the festival venue this time: the historic hill with its Schlosspark, Schlossmuseum, Rosengarten, Keplerwiese, Schlossbergstollen and Martinskirche will be transformed into a freely accessible art space spanning approximately 5 hectares.

P. S. In 799 AD, Martinskirche Linz — considered one of the oldest churches in Austria — was founded. During FMR 26, it will host the work “Tutta Notte Buia” by MAalex feat. Luigi Grande & Marta Perrone. Thank you for hosting us, Diözese Linz, Stefanie Hinterleitner & Martina Resch.
