Tokio Hotel

In the organizer's words:

Sometimes everything turns out differently. You make big plans - and then they are simply thwarted from one moment to the next. For example, by a global pandemic. This is what happened to Tokio Hotel when the band had to cancel their big Latin American tour with a heavy heart in spring 2020. But the abrupt end to the concert series also has a positive side. Tokio Hotel may be going back into the studio with broken hearts, but they are doing so as a complete band for the first time in a long time.

Without sessions via video call and audio tracks that are sent halfway around the world via different time zones. Simply shutting out the world and working on songs together, racking their brains over small details for nights on end, trying things out, discarding them, starting all over again. Making music like back then, a good 20 years ago, when Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav decided to form a band that would not only change the lives of the four teenagers, but also music history. A band that made history - far beyond their big hit "Durch den Monsun" from 2005.

Tokio Hotel have never rested on their first big successes, it has to be said so unequivocally at this point, but have constantly developed the idea of themselves further. And they have done so at an international level that is still unparalleled today. The extroverted self-image of a frontman like Bill, the musical nerdiness of a producer like Tom, the stoic tempo of Gustav and the all-embracing aplomb of Georg - all this adds up to a band that is still unparalleled in terms of influence and standing, indeed, that has remained relevant even after 20 years of band history, five albums and countless tours around the world.

This has never been as clear as on "2001", the band's latest, sixth studio album, which was released on November 18, 2022. The title, chosen in reference to the year the band was founded, has a good reason. Because when Tokio Hotel went into the studio together in spring 2020, the idea quickly arose to re-release the defining song. "We've come full circle," says Tom Kaulitz. "We looked back at where we actually came from and what has happened since then."

This is precisely the basic idea and essence of the album, which goes back to the roots on the one hand, but also combines all the Tokio Hotel facets of the last two decades. It is precisely this feeling that accompanies the band in all sessions, through many studios in Berlin and L.A., with new encounters and one or two reunions with old acquaintances.

While Tokio Hotel albums have so far been entirely dominated by a single musical era, on "2001" the most diverse genres and feelings go hand in hand. So it only makes sense that alongside a banger like "White Lies" there is also a mysterious track like "Here Comes The Night".
"'2001' is a pretty colorful album with the best songs from the last five years. We are incredibly grateful for all the people who have stayed with us over the years and are still with us today, but also all the new people who have made the last two years so memorable and successful.This album is for all of us - and for all the love of the last 20 years."

On July 23, 2024, the cult band will play the Zelt-Musik-Festival in Freiburg and grace the Zirkuszelt stage for the first time. Look forward to an unforgettable evening full of energy and rousing music when Tokio Hotel take to the stage! The unique combination of melodic sounds and charismatic stage presence promises a concert experience in a class of its own.
