CAROUSEL – 50 Years of German Rock Music
Half a century of musical passion and lived history. The Leipzig cult band Karussell celebrates its 50th stage anniversary in 2026 with an extensive tour. Featuring a film about the band's history and songs from five decades, audiences can look forward to a glimpse into the history of music, friendship, and a zest for life – a shared journey through time. Since their founding in 1976, Karussell has made music history across generations with their songs from ten albums, significantly shaping German rock music. For many, their songs have become an emotional soundtrack, a companion throughout life, offering comfort and inspiring critical reflection. Karussell has always distinguished itself through its high standards for lyrics, music, and excellent live sound, blending the spirit of the times with emotion. They remain true to this standard to this day.
The legendary band is embarking on a new adventure, aiming to “live forever without hardship or sorrow” (MONOKEL). The best artists from the band's long history have finally reunited and are rocking the stages as usual, and even better.

Dirk Zöllner & Manuel Schmid – "The most beautiful ballads from the land before our time"
36 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, look forward to a magnificent and emotional concert. Not a nostalgia show, but a celebration of a rich cultural heritage. An opulent sonic experience with two singers, two pianos, saxophone, and guitar. Also included are the "shadow jewels," rarely performed songs by artists such as Lift, Karat, Silly, Biege, Bartzsch, Bicking, and Lakomy.
