The Hives Forever Forever The Hives - World Tour 2025! Spin Magazine once described them as the best live band in the world, and for Joe Strummer of The Clash they were the salvation of rock'n'roll - The Hives have been writing music history for over 25 years.

Under the sonorous stage names Howlin' Pelle (vocals), Nicholaus Arson (guitar), Vigilante Carlstroem (guitar), Dr. Matt Destruction (bass) and Chris Dangerous (drums), they founded The Hives - named after a skin disease. In 1997, they released their debut album "Barely Legal" and toured Sweden for the first time.

From then on, there was no stopping them: with "Veni Vidi Vicious" in 2000, they released an album that is still regarded as one of the best of all time. The lead single "Hate to Say I Told You So" convinced the Poptones label so much that they offered the band a record deal and released "Your New Favourite Band" with them in 2001 - the final breakthrough, accompanied by numerous chart positions worldwide.

Their most mature work to date, "Tyrannosaurus Rex", followed in 2004. On "The Black and White Album" (2007), they showed their joy of musical experimentation with producers Pharrell Williams and Timbaland, while in 2012 they deliberately returned to their roots with "Lex Hives" - raw, full of energy and completely self-produced.

Following the departure of drummer Christian Grahn due to ill health, Johan Gustafson took his place under the name The Johan and Only. Eleven years after their last album, The Hives surprised everyone in 2023 with "The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons", which climbed straight to the top of the charts in their home country.

However, they have not grown up in all these years - their iconic black and white mod style, their punk attitude and their unmistakable humor have remained. Their concerts in particular show why they have been "the best live band on the planet" for decades: sold-out tours and shows together with the Rolling Stones, AC/DC and the Foo Fighters speak for themselves.

This year, fans can look forward to another highlight: In August, the seventh studio album "The Hives Forever Forever The Hives" will be released - according to the band, their best to date. It was produced by their long-time companion Pelle Gunnerfeldt, with prominent support from Mike D (Beastie Boys) and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age). To celebrate this release, The Hives are going on a world tour and will be playing 6 concerts in Germany. Make sure you get your tickets quickly for an audience!
