FOOLS GARDEN – ‘30 Jahre Dish Of The Day’-Tour

In the organizer's words:

What do a cab driver in Oman, his Pakistani, Indian and German passengers, Colombian English teachers, cover bands in the Maldives, Indonesian TikTokers and around 300,000 people a day on Spotify have in common?

They can probably sing along to these lyrics too:

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree

What Fools Garden masterminds Peter Freudenthaler and Volker Hinkel created in 1995 is nothing less than one of the very few global hits to come out of Germany.

Whether on the radio or via streaming services, whether live in a hotel bar or at home from CD: This song is surely played at least ten times a second somewhere in the world.

With such impressive superlatives, it's easy to forget that Fools Garden have taken another five singles into the top 100 of the German charts, released eight albums and played countless successful concerts worldwide since 1995, even after the all-conquering Zitronenbaum.

An absolute highlight of their impressive live career, which has shown the importance and acceptance of the band in the German music scene, was the recent concert on the occasion of the band's 33rd birthday, at which the who's who of the German music scene took to the stage: In addition to Laith Al-Deen, Fury In The Slaughterhouse, Die Prinzen, Dieter-Thomas Kuhn, Peter Schilling, Julia Neigel, Pe Werner, over 30 other artists were guests at the three-day event, which was also accompanied by the SWR Big Band on one evening and will be broadcast on SWR in July 2025.

This concert broadcast is also something of a prelude to a 'Dish Of The Day' year, as 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the album, which contains the aforementioned global hit and reached number 1 in the German album charts in March 1996!

So there's a lot to celebrate, and Fools Garden are planning big things!

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of 'Dish Of The Day' in style, the Pforzheimers are releasing a revised premium edition of the original album on CD and 180g colored vinyl in gatefold sleeve with great additional content in November 2025.

Also in the second half of the year, a band biography of the 'Very Big Hit Wonder' will be available in bookshops, making all the anecdotes and experiences of Peter Freudenthaler and his men accessible to a wide audience.

The undeniable highlight will follow in spring 2026, when Fools Garden will bring their successful album back live to the stages of this republic on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of pole position in the German album charts! On more than 15 dates of the 'Dish Of The Day' tour, all the band's hits and favorite songs will be performed, there will be rocking, partying, reminiscing and singing along as if the last 30 years had been just one day, and we can all feel like we did in 1995, when we were young, wild and carefree, while a German band from Pforzheim set out to conquer the world.

And they did it.

" ... and all that I can see is just another lemon tree."
