Devotion, humility, passion: When Marius Müller-Westernhagen turns an incredible 75 years old in December 2023, he can look back on one of the greatest careers this country has ever seen. This could be how the text starts, but it would only be half the truth. Because he is still right in the middle of it!

With his fantastic current album, "Das eine Leben," Marius Müller-Westernhagen has finally earned attention and respect in the German cultural landscape. A critic from the FAZ wrote: "Das eine Leben – that's all Marius Müller-Westernhagen has, and it touches how he expresses this anything but new, yet jarringly shocking fact for everyone it catches up with, as, if we calculated correctly, currently the oldest still truly productive German rock 'n' roller."

One can celebrate this now: "75 Live," means 75 years of Westernhagen, 23 albums that have sold over 17 million copies, including eight number-one albums. He has written, produced, and performed hits like "Freiheit," "Sexy," "Lass uns leben," "Es geht mir gut," and so many others. So, Marius Müller-Westernhagen will embark on a grand tour in May 2024 to celebrate this career, life, and rock 'n' roll. On the setlist: a journey through his extensive body of work.

Because even though Marius Müller-Westernhagen is a great album artist: the natural habitat of this artist has always been and will always be the stage. Not least, this career is not only one of the most formative but also one of the only authentic rock 'n' roll stories from Germany. Even before his first albums, Marius Müller-Westernhagen dedicated nights in sweaty cellars to the blues and early rock 'n' roll; he was and is that "singer in a rock 'n' roll band" he sang about in "Mit 18." And yet, over all these years, he has constantly artistically developed and reinvented himself based on "his music." And he has always remained true to himself. This perhaps explains the impressively long career that continues to this day.

"Is rock 'n' roll dying again?," Marius asks rhetorically – and provides the answer immediately: "Never, at least not for me, as long as I can or am allowed to set my foot on a stage to make beautiful noise – and of course, there are still enough people willing to listen to me."

The never-ending pandemic caused an unexpected and painful interruption for Marius Müller-Westernhagen, just like it did for all other people on this planet. He had to cancel the planned tour through theaters and opera houses (a heartfelt project of Westernhagen). All the more he is now looking forward to the concerts in celebration of his 75th birthday, which will take him back to the largest arenas of the Republic and open-air events in 2024. With the exceptional talents of his American band, with whom the singer-songwriter has been revealing the wild pounding heart of his music for years, he wants to make as much noise as possible in eight concerts in May and nine additional dates in August and September 2024: "I want to make some beautiful noise again," says Marius Müller-Westernhagen. "Let’s rock! Damn it, the time demands it!"

Doors open: 6:30 PM
