In the organizer's words:

Better Love Tour 2025
Guest: Isaak

We are all searching. For love, for fulfillment and for what else makes us happy. A journey that DARI describes on his new album. With "Better Love", the singer and musician now presents his eagerly awaited second longplayer. At the same time, DARI is releasing a gripping urban pop ballad with the title track, on which he is supported by ESC participant Isaak!

The wait is over: with "Because Of You", "You Are Ok" and "If You Want It All (with Jennifer Lange)", DARI has already released acclaimed pre-releases of his brand new album in recent months. On "Better Love", the likeable musician now gives an even deeper insight into his inner self: personal stories of change, growth, resilience and self-love - the unshakeable will to simply throw all self-doubt and reservations overboard in order to accept oneself with all one's strengths and even more so all one's weaknesses.

"Better Love is not just about love," says DARI. "It's about staying open to all the positive things in life. I've always been searching: For security and closeness, but also for myself. Today I am a family man and have a safe haven that grounds me, gives me peace and security and at the same time gives me the freedom to express myself musically. This has taught me to accept myself for who I am. That I am good enough and don't have to pretend or conform."

A balancing act between vulnerability and empowerment, which the charismatic Cologne native channels on "Better Love" in deconstructed beats, organic instrumentation and his neo-soul vocals that immediately get under your skin. DARI is joined on his new single by Eurovision Song Contest participant Isaak, with whom he has a long-standing musical friendship. Both were involved in Adel Tawil's million-streamed megahit "Flutlicht" back in 2018, and Isaak is now part of DARI's permanent songwriting team alongside Kai "Kayef" Fichtner and producer Fabian Zimmermann (Adel Tawil, Die Toten Hosen, Betontod). "Isaak came into the studio and started playing this hypnotic guitar loop that immediately hooked me. In my eyes it has something unfinished about it, but that makes it all the more interesting. We didn't change anything, but left everything as it was on the first take."

With "Better Love", DARI now presents his boldest and most hopeful album. More direct, more authentic and, with mostly German lyrics for the first time, simply one hundred percent DARI! "I used to go through a phase where I lost myself in an extremely self-destructive lifestyle," the singer looks back. "I was incredibly hard on myself, constantly chasing after superficial things and always letting failures throw me off track. Today, I see every day as a gain that brings new opportunities. Even if not all dreams and goals come true, it's important to at least enjoy the journey."

From the end of October, DARI and his band can be seen on a major "Better Love" headline tour of German venues, including stops in Rostock, Hanover, Munich, Berlin, Dresden, Dortmund, Hamburg, Cologne and other cities. Tickets are available at
