QUERBEAT - LIVE 2026

In the organizer's words:

The Querbeat story: radically positive! An 11-member creative collective wants to make. And play. The band lives for the stage, for the rush of energy from the audience and the sounds. Querbeat is a sum of statements: festival band, jazz cracks, somehow carnival and a pinch of punk attitude. Crowd surfing, mosh pits, summer vibes and moving live moments. All drawers full of anarchy, please.

One thing is clear: Querbeat is different. With lots of brass instruments, a clear political stance, raw vocals and live energy like a single announcement: Everything will be better in the past! Days have to be wasted with love, nights have to be endured - "Good morning Barbarossaplatz", dear world.

The current, third studio album "Radikal Positiv" (number 2 in the German album charts) and the two previous albums "Fettes Q" and "Randale & Hurra" have together collected over 200 million streams. New music is priority number 1, and after the successful single "Eisbär" (08.03.24), Querbeat DNA was realized in the "Barcelona Tapes".

The Q concept? Survive with creativity! And joining forces, playfully. Sold-out tours, renowned festivals in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and ... Spain. Yes, you have to celebrate festivals as they come, so you might as well have your own! No sooner said than done: in June 2024, Vol. 3 of "Randale & Freunde" in Bonn's Rheinaue with 25,000 people each time.

Querbeat sells out the Lanxess Arena in Cologne again and opens the main stage of Rock am Ring. Spoiler: The 2025 summer wind blows Querbeat sound over the camps and through all cosmopolitan van doors. With Hurricane/Southside and Pinkpop, there are more mainstages in the navigation system. And always with a loving message of political attitude and sustainable action. An attitude that you can't afford to lose in almost 20 years of band life. Querbeat is closeness, love and a radical belief in the good.
