Tigermilch - „Gestern fühlte sich auch nicht früher an“ Tour 2025
The band's official statement regarding the cancellation:
“HI, UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS BAD NEWS. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY OUR TOUR IN MARCH AND APRIL.
A LOT OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING WITH US RIGHT NOW - THINGS THAT JUST TAKE TIME TO BE PROCESSED.
AS A BAND, WE NOT ONLY MAKE MUSIC TOGETHER, BUT WE ALSO FUNCTION AS FRIENDS. RECENTLY, WE HAVE FELT THAT WE NEED TO TAKE MORE SPACE FOR OURSELVES TO NOT LOSE JUST THAT.
WE ARE INCREDIBLY SORRY!
WE KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SHOWS -
BELIEVE US, WE WERE TOO!
CANCELLING THE TOUR DOESN’T FEEL GOOD, BUT IT SEEMS TO US LIKE THE HONEST AND BEST WAY. TOWARDS YOU AND US.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR LOVE & SUPPORT UP TO THIS POINT. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT TICKETS & TO ALL WHO SUPPORT US.
WE HOPE YOU HAVE A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING”
TAMIM, PHILIPP, BEN, ERIC

Second album, fresh live dates: The indie band TIGERMILCH will go on the "Gestern fühlte sich auch nicht früher an" tour in 2025 and has brand new material for the big headline tour! The four-member group from Cologne, which has long established itself as a hidden gem in the German-speaking music scene, will tour Germany, Austria, and Switzerland starting in spring. Fans can look forward to fresh songs from the upcoming second studio album, set for release in 2025:
TIGERMILCH has polished the new music during long rehearsal nights and are raising their expectations high: The band wants to reflect their versatility with the new output and certainly explore new sound paths. But one thing will definitely remain: the distinctive mix of profound lyrics and catchy melodies that create emotional and captivating moments live.
TIGERMILCH's unique sound unites soulful-jazzy indie pop with enchanting melodies, hip-hop-inspired grooves, and a dreamy nonchalance in the multi-layered, clever German lyrics. The four Cologne members - Ben (vocals, synthesizer), Tamim (guitar), Eric (bass), and Philipp (drums) - founded TIGERMILCH in 2018 and gained first public attention in 2020. In 2022, the debut LP "Gelaber" was released, including the single "Versprechen," which quickly garnered over 2 million Spotify plays, all without a major label, all self-made: self-written, self-produced - even the artworks come from the team itself, and it seems like something akin to collective pop has emerged here. This wouldn't be the only neologism one would have to think of to make TIGERMILCH describable.
In March `24, the critically acclaimed EP "Gib her was dich kaputt macht" was dropped, and TIGERMILCH is currently finalizing their second studio album, which will be released in `25 - the first single was "Kleine Liebesgeschichte" in August `24, followed by "KIPPEN" in November. Their songs tell stories of life, the small and large emotions that connect us all, hitting straight to the heart. Mumbled feelings, where words are almost swallowed and then spat out again, casually and ironically, as if they were chewing gum, with just a bit of heartache sticking to them.
If there's one thing TIGERMILCH can do, it’s layering emotional expressions sky-high and then tearing them down again with the next sentence, as if that were the only logical step. As if it were the simplest thing in the world to let impressive arrangements meet understated virtuosity. No doubt, one almost believes that this band can do almost anything if they just want to: piecing together crazy chords so that they suddenly sound like pop music. Or also: simply taking from all genres what they feel like. From hip-hop the beats, from jazz the melodies, from indie the riffs, and then they play memory until everyone has forgotten that it hasn’t always sounded that perfect together.
TIGERMILCH has the gift to concentrate disco rhythms into earworms and serve the result in such a clever way that one can dance to it all night long, but also spend an entire afternoon discussing it. Their superpower: They make the simple complicated and the complicated simple, in lyrics full of composure and in references to their generation, a bit "Men I Trust," a bit "Bilderbuch" - but the design of this band reaches further than any reference could.
After an exclusive set at RBF 2024 and a year-end home game show at Gebäude 9 in Cologne, TIGERMILCH will embark on a substantial D-AT-CH tour in 2025, bringing songs from the new album with them.
Doors open at 19:00
