For fans of the band and for anyone who wants to discover their music from a completely new perspective, this tour will be a very special experience. “Tranquillo II” is a must-see for every In-Extremo fan.
Sixteen years ago, a unique concert concept generated great excitement among In Extremo fans. Under the title “Tranquilo,” the band performed their songs for the first time in unusually calm, acoustic arrangements, revealing a completely different side of their artistry. The response was overwhelming, and ever since, many fans have been hoping for a continuation of this extraordinary format.
Now the time has finally come. With “Tranquillo I,” In Extremo is once again heading out on an acoustic tour. A lot has happened in the sixteen years since the first installment. New albums have been released, numerous songs have found their way into the repertoire, and many of them are practically begging to be brought to life in a new, acoustic setting.
The fact that the band is taking this step fits perfectly with their self-image. In Extremo have always been known for their willingness to experiment and have earned a reputation for continually surprising their fans with unusual concert concepts and unique venues. From their early days at medieval markets to major festival and arena shows around the globe, they have repeatedly proven that they view musical boundaries not as limitations, but as invitations.
“Tranquilo II” consistently carries on this tradition. The tour will deliberately take place at select, particularly atmospheric venues, including some of the most beautiful concert halls in the German-speaking world. Instead of large stages and pyrotechnic spectacles, this time the focus will be on atmosphere, intimacy, and musical subtleties.
The audience can look forward to very special, intimate evenings. In Extremo will present their classics as well as rarely performed gems in an acoustic setting, along with surprising new interpretations of their hits and anthems. Familiar melodies suddenly appear in a new light—sometimes stripped down and moving, sometimes playful and surprising.
In Extremo has also come up with a special surprise for this tour. The band will be joined by top-tier guests and outstanding musicians: Oliver “SaTyr” Pade and Niel Mitra from Faun, as well as violinist Justin Ciuche, who will enrich the “Tranquilo” concept with additional timbres and musical virtuosity. Faun are among the world’s leading bands for blending ancient soundscapes with modern music and have set international standards in this genre with numerous successful albums and hundreds of concerts.
With their unmistakable sound—a blend of modern rock and centuries-old musical influences—In Extremo have defined a genre of their own and have become arguably the world’s best-known and most successful medieval rock band. For three turbulent decades, the band has captivated a global audience of millions. Seven of their albums have been certified with precious metal, and four of them reached number one on the German album charts.
But no matter how big the stages have become, one idea has always been at the heart of In Extremo: the shared celebration of music, camaraderie, and community. It is precisely this feeling that the band now wants to bring to life in a new, intimate way with “Tranquilo II.”
For fans of the band and for anyone who’d like to discover their music from a completely new perspective, this tour will be a truly special experience. “Tranquillo II” is a must-see for every In Extremo fan.
