Sun 27th Jul, 2025

In a remarkable return to the stage, the iconic girl group Monrose performed at the Christopher Street Day event in Berlin, marking their first live appearance together in over a decade. The performance took place in front of the historic Brandenburg Gate and was met with enthusiastic applause from fans who fondly remember the band's significant impact on pop music in the mid-2000s.

The group, originally formed in 2006 through the casting show 'Popstars,' consists of members Bahar Kizil and Senna Gammour, while Mandy Capristo was notably absent from the reunion. The event evoked a wave of nostalgia for many attendees, particularly those who grew up listening to Monrose's hits such as 'Hot Summer.'

In interviews following their performance, Gammour expressed the joy and excitement of reuniting with fans, recalling the emotional connection they share with the queer community that played an essential role in the band's rise to fame. She described the experience as akin to stepping back in time to 2006, a year that was pivotal for both the band and its audience.

Kizil also reflected on the significance of their comeback, highlighting how intertwined their journey has been with the LGBTQ+ community. She mentioned the invaluable experience of performing again and how it felt surreal to relive those moments on stage.

Monrose achieved considerable success during their active years, with their debut album 'Temptation' reaching number one on the charts and earning multiple platinum and gold certifications. The group disbanded in 2010, but their influence endures, with many fans still cherishing their music.

The reunion performance at Christopher Street Day not only celebrated the band's legacy but also underscored the ongoing importance of LGBTQ+ visibility and representation in the music industry. As Berlin continues to be a hub for LGBTQ+ culture, events like these play a crucial role in fostering community and solidarity.
