Two unmistakable young faces of the emerging Czech pop generation with a strong cross-genre reach. Palác Akropolis will come alive with performances by Simon Opp and IAM Oskar – two artists operating at the intersection of pop, rap, rock and alternative music, and increasingly shaping the sound of today’s Czech scene.

IAM Oskar moves between alternative rap and rock, placing emphasis on energetic live performances and personal expression. He has completed a nationwide tour, appeared at major festivals and played large club shows. His collaborations include artists such as Renne Dang, Cann and Pam Rabbit. In late September 2025, he released the album LOVERBOY, which has already amassed hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify alone, confirming his status as one of the most prominent voices of the new generation.

Simon Opp is a young singer and actor who gained wider attention in 2024 with the EP DANCE WITH SOMEBODY. Recently, he has increasingly focused on songs in Czech, which audiences will be able to hear live at Palác Akropolis. This year, he received a nomination for Newcomer of the Year at the Czech Slavík awards and won the Discovery of the Year title from Europa 2 radio with the track Runnin’ in Deep, created in collaboration with Tom Sean.

The PULZ series at Palác Akropolis is curated by Refresher editor-in-chief Vojtěch Tkáč. The evening takes place in collaboration with Akropolis Underground.
