After more than three decades, countless concerts, and songs that have long been part of the DNA of German pop music, the time has come for the PRINZEN to say goodbye. Under the motto “Bye-bye, take care!”, the PRINZEN will say goodbye live on their 2027 farewell tour—not with pathos or fanfare, but honestly, intelligently, and with exactly the wink that has always set them apart.
Since the early ’90s, the PRINZEN have sung their way not only into the charts but also directly into the nation’s musical memory with hits like “Millionär,” “Alles nur geklaut,” “Küssen verboten,” “(Du musst) ein Schwein sein,” and “Mann im Mond,” not only stormed the charts but also etched themselves directly into the nation’s musical memory. Six million records sold, 16 gold and platinum albums, two ECHO Music Awards, and numerous other accolades speak for themselves. Add to that eleven released albums—from their debut “Das Leben ist grausam” to “Krone der Schöpfung”—and a fact that’s almost even more impressive: Even after all these years, PRINZEN remain united in their original lineup.
Quitting while they’re ahead? The PRINZEN aren’t calling it quits out of exhaustion, but out of conviction! As long as being on stage brings joy, the songs resonate, and the evenings still have that very special spark, they don’t want to wait until passion eventually turns into routine.
The 2027 farewell tour is therefore, above all, a huge thank-you to the audience, who can look forward to special arrangements, personal moments, and perhaps even a surprise or two. Once again, PRINZEN will be performing live with everything we love about them—big hits, powerful voices, plenty of humor, and that incomparable intimacy that has defined their concerts for decades. Of course, it will be emotional, but above all, it will be a huge celebration! “It’s not a quiet farewell,” say sources close to the band. “It’ll be loud, emotional, and full of joy. We want to celebrate—with everyone who has been with us over the years.”
When the curtain falls one last time at the end of this tour, more than just music will remain: a piece of German pop culture that has shaped generations will remain. No grand drama, just an honest farewell—exactly as you’d expect from the PRINZEN.
Bye for now, take care!
