Let’s do the Time Warp – the Tolstoys’ live shows evoke the spirit of the 1960s and the energy of Woodstock. The musical roots of the Berlin-based psychedelic rock band lie in Slavic and Celtic folklore, their musicians hail from Slovakia and Germany. Tolstoy’s concerts are a hypnotic, physical and heart-warming experience that no one in the audience can resist. The five-piece band headed by lead singer Ela Tolstova has toured extensively throughout the UK, Germany and Eastern Europe and has already played twice at the Glastonbury Festival and the Pohoda Festival. Since winning the »Debut of the Year« prize at the Slovakian Radio Head Awards 2018 with »Botanika«, Tolstoys have released three studio albums: »Mirror Me« (2022), »No Limit To Love« (2024) and »The Buzz« (2025). On the most recent recording in particular, the musicians really succeeded in capturing their raw live energy. In 2025, the Tolstoys toured Europe with Senegalese musician, artist and filmmaker Alibeta, merging West African rhythms with their own psychedelic soundscapes in powerful concert experiences.

Berghain<\/span><\/p>\n

»A uniquely ethereal trip-hop sound with healthy rock and folk influences.«<\/span>
The Indie Scene<\/span><\/p>\n
