Helge Schneider: Ein Mann und seine Musik

On his way through the shaken country

This is the umpteenth tour by the superstar from the Ruhr region. He's even really enjoying traveling now. "Yes, I take a close look at everything!" That's how Helge Schneider comes to you! "I'm always looking for contact with my audience. And: I want people to stop taking themselves so seriously. I want them to laugh. If they don't, it doesn't matter. For my part, I don't find a lot of things funny at all. But you have to understand that. I look at myself in the mirror day in, day out. Watch out: the shock could be profound when I take off my wig!" It's a "threat to the whole family! Nevertheless: I'm not giving up!"

The band plucks and plays Helge Schneider's most beautiful compositions. He has written countless. Oh no, written, he doesn't write anything down. He has everything in his head!

Helge Schneider turns 70. " I would never have thought when I was born that I would be 70! What a welcome surprise!"

So: if you want to see Helge Schneider again, just go!
