Herrenmagazin - Aus gegebenem Anlass

In the organizer's words:

Admission: 19:00
unseated

After 10 years, you have given us the warmest reception imaginable. We could and will play our own biggest concerts this year. After the Elphi (Kleiner Saal) was sold out in 48 hours, we decided to go one better out of a mixture of bliss and a pinch of cockiness. It's probably just as weird for us as it is for you, but today we're announcing three concerts in Berlin, Cologne and Hamburg, which will take place in December 2026. That's a whopping one and a half years in the future. This decision is based on two realizations:

1. the fact that we have been around for over 20 (written: twenty) years is a miracle. One that - by the way - is thanks to you. That alone would be a reason to celebrate.

2. every marriage has a recipe for success. Ours is friendship and chaos.

This recipe for success, which is riddled with uncertainty, is unpredictable and has been put to the test in the recent past. We have decided to combine the joy we feel today thanks to your endless support with the wisdom of age. In short: we don't want to repeat mistakes. Don't worry, we are not disbanding, and we are not announcing another indefinite break. It won't be another 10 years until the next record - that's a solemn promise. We want this band to be around for a very long time. But that is not a matter of course and requires a responsible approach to personal capacities and ambitions. It has been shown that we are at our best when these two factors are in a healthy balance.

But what does this cryptic babble mean? We'll be touring this year and next and (if they let us) playing a few festivals. To say how much we're looking forward to it is beyond description. We're overwhelmed by the reception we're getting, we're validated, but most of all we're encouraged and motivated. Afterwards, we would like to celebrate with you everything that cannot be taken for granted: that we existed, that we still exist and that you were and still are there. In this respect, there is not much left to say at this point, except to express our humble thanks and invite you all to be part of this megalomania.

Afterwards, there will be a moment of silence.
