OK KID - Komm, wir bleiben stehen - Tour 2026

In the organizer's words:

OK KID are back! First they announced their new album "Komm, wir bleiben stehen" for the end of May, now they have confirmed their long-awaited tour of the same name for the fall: the trio will visit six A-cities in Germany and Austria on the "Komm, wir bleiben stehen" tour in 2026. The band's own mix of hybrid garage drums, shoegaze guitars, jungle borrowings and sophisticated sample chops has been skillfully updated, which the OK KID crowd can look forward to. Live, OK KID is an undisputed authority in the German-speaking music scene, and the anticipation for the shows is already huge!

OK KID hit the nerve of the times with their debut album in 2013, their intelligent indie with rapped social criticism was quickly classified as extraordinarily relevant pop culture. After three top ten albums and ten years of "full throttle" band life, as the trio summed it up, Jonas Schubert, Raffael Kühle and Moritz Rech will be taking an indefinite break in spring 2024: no social media, no concerts, no releases. And all this in times when feeding the algorithm and attention seem to be the most important currencies - a daring undertaking from the perspective of the time.

From today's perspective: a blessing for the record that was created in the off-time. "Komm, wir bleiben stehen" is the name of OK KID's fifth studio album, released at the end of May 2026, and stands out from their previous work - as the track "Hoffnung stirbt 1-3" makes clear: OK KID hit the NOW at its most sore point. The band is also showing signs of life live: A guerrilla gig in February in their hometown of Giessen, where they drop the news of the new album, gives the community certainty: OK KID are back.

"Komm, wir bleiben stehen" shows what can happen when musicians absorb political, social and personal aberrations and pour them into musically artistic statements. OK KID manage to do this authentically - attitude has always been important to their music. However, they have rarely been heard so honest, unfiltered, angry and hurt. This becomes particularly clear in the intense ode to being an outsider and rebel "Rave On": "As long as we still have each other, the others haven't won", Jonas Schubert almost shouts into the microphone, making it unmistakably clear: if there is any hope at all these days, then it is the community - it is worth standing up for your ideals and values.

The band's aim is not to be swept away by the toxic maelstrom of the present. The album is a search for security in a dystopian environment, reflected in the spoken word contributions by Luisa Neubauer in the "Rave On" introand Max Richard Leßmann in "Hoffnung stirbt 1". "Komm, wir bleiben stehen" does not claim to be the most important political pop album of recent years, but is rather a counterpart to easily digestible pop snacks: chansonesque skits, twisted thoughts and bangers for the festival stage in the current OK KID sound: the band's own mix of garage drums, shoegaze guitars, jungle borrowings, sample chops and rethought 808s has matured into a unique selling point in 2026.

Above all, however, the record is made to be experienced live. How good that the trio is finally returning to the stage - tickets for the OK KID "Komm, wir bleiben stehen" tour2026 are available everywhere!
