Heino – A Legend Comes to Vacha in June

Germany's musical legend is going on a grand concert tour in 2026! Under the title "HEINO – Made in Germany", the cult star will bring his greatest hits to the stage and will perform as part of this tour on Saturday, June 20, 2026, starting at 7 PM, also at the legendary Vachwerk in Vacha.

With a mix of folk and pop songs along with some musical surprises, Heino will delight his audience on this evening. The audience can look forward to unforgettable evergreens like "Rosamunde", "Karamba, Karacho, a Whisky", "Blau blüht der Enzian", "Die schwarze Barbara", and "La Paloma".

But that's not all: After a long time, the audience hit "Junge" will also echo on stage, a title from Heino's venture into the rock scene! Another highlight: For the first time, the singer will present the German national anthem on stage – a moving moment that is guaranteed to give goosebumps.

At 86 years old, Heino once again proves why he is considered "the last punk" – timeless, authentic, steadfast, and full of energy. His voice, charisma, and incomparable musical style have captivated audiences for decades. Whether young or old: Anyone who loves German music is in the right place here.

Stainless Steel "The best Onkelz cover band in the world"

Whether as a support band at the “Vaya Con Tioz” festival of the “Böhsen Onkelz” at Eurospeedway Lausitzring from June 15-18, 2005, and subsequently at regular performances in front of several thousand spectators, for example at events of the then-official “Böhse Onkelz” fan club “B.O.S.C.”, such as the “B.O.S.C. Rocks” festival in Schwarzheide, the “27 years Böhse Onkelz” birthday party at the Frankfurt Ballsporthalle, or the “Onkelz Non Stop” event at the Eventzentrum Geiselwind, as well as at major events like “Wacken Rocks South” or the annual “G.O.N.D.” festival, where “Stainless Steel” is, by the way, the only band that has performed at this scene meeting, which now attracts around 20,000 people annually since the beginning – the band looks back on quite a long and exciting history and has established itself thanks to excellent live qualities, unbridled joy of playing, and an energetic stage show with over 12 years of stage presence.
