Andreas Kieling - Mein Leben mit den wilden Tieren
2/24/2026 at 8:00 PM / Köln

Andreas Kieling – Mein Leben mit den wilden Tieren
– Tour 2026

The successful show by Andreas Kieling: “Mein Leben mit den wilden Tieren” will celebrate a further tour start in February 2026.
After sold-out shows in March 2025 and high demand for additional dates, Andreas Kieling will tour again and visit eight more cities with his program.
Germany's most famous wildlife filmmaker will show the audience the images that mean the most to him and will take viewers from his first recordings in Alaska to unpublished material from today.
The award-winning adventurer loves nature and the diverse wildlife and often puts himself in dangerous situations for fascinating images. In addition to surviving an attack by a brown bear in the Carpathians in 2023, Kieling survived a black mamba bite in Namibia, freed himself from the grip of an anaconda in Brazil's jungle, or was attacked by a wild capercaillie in the German low mountain range.
With experience, respect for the animals, and extensive expertise, Andreas Kieling manages to create breathtaking and spectacular images for his wildlife documentaries and his audience in exactly these situations.

These vivid memories are shared by the charismatic animal and nature lover during his live shows, narrated and accompanied by powerful images and deep insights into hidden worlds that no one can escape.
Multimedia prepared, Andreas Kieling shows previously unpublished material, including footage from his private collection, and takes the audience on a journey that goes under the skin through detailed and sometimes emotional narratives.
For the audience, this journey means experiencing impressive wildlife footage, as well as learning about Andreas Kieling personally and gaining insights from over 35 years of wildlife filmmaking.

In the show “Mein Leben mit den wilden Tieren,” over 2 hours of footage is presented, in which Kieling illuminates the beginnings of his career: His months-long stay in Alaska, during which he focused on documenting grizzlies and polar bears, takes us along on his migration with musk oxen, where he was able to be accepted as part of the herd.
These close-up shots, depictions of life conditions in a hostile environment, where every day in the wilderness and far from human civilization is a struggle for survival, combined with picturesque descriptions lead to a captivating stage program, where the audience hangs on Kieling's lips and palpable tension fills the air.
Later in the live show, he focuses on the situation in Germany and engages the audience in his thoughts and observations. How does life in the forest change over an entire year? How is the current situation regarding wolf populations in Germany assessed? Is the bear coming to Germany? What can we learn from other countries? How does climate change affect flora and fauna?

“As a wildlife filmmaker and adventurer, I have the opportunity to share the stories of my expeditions with you through films.” - Andreas Kieling.
With his deep understanding of nature, he has already inspired millions of people. “Mein Leben mit den wilden Tieren” is great wildlife cinema and a journey of discovery for young and old!

“I always ask myself the question: What does the animal see in me? What am I to the animal? Am I neutral? Am I an enemy, an intruder? Am I perhaps prey?” - Andreas Kieling.

Experience an unforgettable evening with a living legend of wildlife films; a compelling personality who conveys his passion and fascination for the globally interconnected, fragile animal and plant world with competence, charm, and wit.

DIE UDO JÜRGENS STORY - Mit Gabriela Benesch & Alex Parker
4/25/2026 at 7:30 PM / Köln

Captivating melodies, a unique character, and an immortal body of work: Udo Jürgens thrilled millions of fans on his tours. The Austrian, who won the Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson in 1966, celebrated a global hit with the song “Merci, Chérie,” which reached top chart positions in over 20 countries. Thus, the chansonnier became one of the most significant entertainers of the 20th and early 21st centuries. With more than 100 million records sold and over 50 published albums, he was one of the most commercially successful male solo artists in the world. Five years after his death, “Die UDO JÜRGENS Story” offers fans the chance to get close to their idol once again. This extraordinary tribute to the grand seigneur of the German entertainment industry is packaged in a casually amusing evening of songs, a lively and entertaining concert night – put together by Gabriela Benesch, who was awarded best theater actress of the year in Vienna in 2014. The trained pianist Alex Parker sings the works of the unforgettable pop bard as if he were personally on stage. The musical journey through time includes all the big hits like “Mit 66 Jahren,” “Ich War Noch Niemals In New York,” and “Griechischer Wein,” as well as some rarities. True to the entertainer's style, he accompanies himself on the piano. Daughter Jenny Jürgens raved after the premiere: “A must for all Udo fans!”

An Evening With Francis Rossi - Songbook Tour 2026
5/15/2026 at 7:30 PM / Köln

FRANCIS ROSSI TOUR 2026

‘An Evening of Francis Rossi’s Songs from the Status Quo Songbook and more...’ is coming to Germany!
Ten exclusive live shows presented by RBK FUSION
After over 100 very successful performances in the UK, the legendary frontman of STATUS QUO brings his new show titled “An Evening of Francis Rossi's Songs from the Status Quo Songbook and More...” to Europe.
In May 2026, Francis, who has always had a large fan base here, is also coming to Germany.

The ten German shows will feature songs he has never played in this format before. The evening with Francis Rossi offers – alongside the most important QUO classics – backstage stories from first-hand. Francis shares stories of his over 100 performances on Top Of The Pops, the legendary opening of the Live Aid concert in 1985, his life with Rick Parfitt, the hits, the other stars of the industry, and the mishaps around the world. All of this is spiced up with Francis's famous wit and British humor.
Fans can look forward to a real treat. The Mail on Sunday wrote: “When he strums with captivating fluency, all the nervous energy suddenly becomes heartwarming... life-affirming... arm-swinging.”
The Spectator added: "His voice is strangely effective in a more intimate setting, while the three-chord cliché is quickly cast aside. Additionally, he is a really good lead guitarist."
And the Daily Express states: “Francis Rossi captivates the audience with stories from his six decades-long career...”
A great and long career. Francis Rossi celebrates his 77th birthday in May 2026, on what might be his last tour.
On the ‘An Evening of Francis Rossi’s Songs from the Status Quo Songbook and more...’ tour, the living rock legend will play many of his signature hits that made Quo famous. In addition, Francis will present some of his personal favorite songs and share exciting stories from his incredible life in the music circus.
Think you know Francis? No, not quite...!
The story begins with the first hit ‘Pictures of Matchstick Men’ (1968) and continues to this day. Francis will mainly play on his Acoustasonic guitar, which, as he says, “is essentially a Telecaster, but better suited for a show like this – it still has the sound and voice of a Tele.”
Perhaps the last word, as always, should belong to Francis Rossi himself: "You know what? I really love this. Finally, I can do what I've always wanted to do, which is just play, without cranking the volume up to '11'. It has taken my whole career to hold back and really just be. I let the songs speak for themselves."
And for everyone who wants to speak with Francis: There is the option to purchase upgrade packages and meet the star backstage personally!

Doors open: 6:30 PM

MAYBEBOP - Schöner Schein
12/3/2026 at 8:00 PM / Köln

MAYBEBOP - Schöner Schein - NEW Christmas Program

Four guys. Four microphones. Christmas.

They've done it again: MAYBEBOP presents their fifth Christmas show, Schöner Schein. And it's amazing what these four can still bring to the festival of festivals after more than 20 years as a band and how fresh and unexhausted they still are on stage!

With Schöner Schein, alongside newly interpreted classics like Carol of the Bells, Die Nacht ist vorgedrungen and the lively Heidschi Bumbeidschi, many original German songs offer new perspectives on the holy night: The tragicomic tango Der Tod des Weihnachtsmannes and the touching Was ich besaß address the belief in the man with the beard in highly different ways, the energetic folk-rock Die Ballade vom Fanta-Klaus tells of a surprising encounter with him, the acerbic Christmas daydreams peek behind the facade of certain Christmas idylls and the evergreens sung from the perspective of a fir tree recommend themselves as a must-have piece in any standard dance course. The undisputed highlight of the album is clearly the German rap parody KNG of LightZ, which makes it clear who has the hut with the highest bling-bling factor: Grandiosely funny and stylistically spot on.

The vocal band once again underlines their exceptional status: the Christmas program Schöner Schein sparkles with ideas, is equally virtuosic and down-to-earth, and surprises live, consistently stylish with a refined light and sound show, complemented by smart and charming video performances.

MAYBEBOP consists of:

Jan Bürger – Countertenor

Lukas Teske – Tenor & Beatbox

Oliver Gies – Baritone

Christoph Hiller - Bass
