His annual reviews have long become a cult. Just as his annual Maybock speeches at the Hofbräuhaus are already legendary. But when Django Asül creates a new stage program, it’s not about the daily minutiae in politics and society, but about the big topics. Just being current is far from enough. He not only looks at the here and now, but also likes to gaze at the elsewhere and later. Remaining true to oneself while simultaneously developing consistently – these are the cornerstones of his work. He owes this not just to himself, but to his audience. The responsibility now weighs heavily. Anyone like Django Asül, a holder of the Bavarian Order of Merit, the Bavarian Culture Prize, and the Bavarian Cabaret Prize, has understood: The hardest part is done – now it's time for the core. And without regard for profits. And the audience gets to be there live. For those who find this announcement too cryptic, let it be said: Django Asül’s now eighth solo program can easily hold its own against any precision device made in Germany. Look forward to two hours where every subordinate clause has the potential to be a main clause.

Doors and service open at 7 PM.

Your job driving you insane? The injustices in this world driving you to madness? Your cat refusing to listen to you? No reason to panic, because there is an antidote: Desolation, the new album from the Swabian thrashers Fateful Finality! In true superhero style, the quartet sweeps through twelve new songs that will make your daily gray disappear in a colorful riff fireworks within moments. And as befits real superheroes, there’s not just new music, but a comic on top of that.
Fateful Finality entered the metal stage in 2007 and initially let the mats fly underground. In 2012, the Stuttgarters represented Germany at the Wacken Metal Battle and made the village disappear under a dust cloud. A record deal with the renowned label Steamhammer and the second studio album “Battery,” produced under the direction of Eike Freese (Helloween, Gamma Ray, Communic) and guitarist Alexander Dietz of Heaven Shall Burn as guest producer, laid the foundation for a steep career.
Tours all over Europe, further appearances at Wacken and countless other renowned festivals followed. As a further career highlight, a special appearance in the legendary Rockfabrik Ludwigsburg took place, which closed its doors forever after the demolition gig by Fateful Finality.
Like many bands, the Swabians were ripped from their touring life by Covid, and they responded in 2021 with the EP “Finish ’Em.” However, the four songs only give a small taste of the album “Emperor of the Weak,” which was released in November 2022. Under the direction of band member Simon Schwarzer and producer Chris Schäfer, Fateful Finality reaches a new level in composition once again.
The new album Desolation is once again created under the trusted eyes and ears of Eike Freese and is another step forward on the way to the metal Olympus. Fateful Finality fight injustices such as abuse of power, oppression of minorities, and the all-paralyzing routine of everyday life on their sixth studio album. The song “Routine Killer” is representative of this. An anthem for metal concerts, the ultimate escape from reality. Despite all the associated struggles, which our Swabian heroes also know. Eight hours of travel for a thirty-minute concert? Spaghetti from a beer glass as catering? The accommodation touted by the organizer as spacious turns out to be an old air raid shelter? The fee doesn’t even cover a tank of gas? The guys have been through it all and are still as motivated as on day one.
And wasn’t there something about a comic? Oh yes! In the booklet (LP and CD), the first Fateful-Finality comic can be found, in which the band battles zombies, rebellious robots, Wall Street monsters, and fascism. The genius adaptation of the song lyrics into a comic story, and the cover is drawn by comic artist Frederik Hornung. So, put in the album, open the comic, and loudly declare war on desolation (Desolation) together with Fateful Finality!

Florian Schroeder is a guarantee for the finest cabaret. Because he has everything it takes. Talent, a sharp tongue, and no filter. Appropriately unconventional, he talks about politics and daily events.

The cabaret artist, parodist, author, columnist, radio and television host from Lörrach began his career in the mid-1990s. With his first appearance on "Schmidteinander," he flashed his talent for the first time. Since then, he has been known for his imitations and parodies of well-known political figures. Merkel & Co. finally speak frankly. Florian Schroeder sets out to examine Germany critically. Nothing and nobody is safe from him. Political correctness is a foreign concept for him.

Schroeder is a must for every friend of well-thought-out political satire. Laughing along and thinking along is the motto. Because Florian Schroeder is indeed more than mere comedy. But you should just see for yourself.

Doors open and catering starts at 7 PM.

Four evening-length programs, countless TV appearances, more than 20 awards: Stefan Waghubinger's motto – “Austrian grumbling, but with German thoroughness” – has surprisingly proven to be quite effective.

Many of his stories from the past 15 years have long become classics for the audience, and they are repeatedly requested as encores. This is reason enough for the cabaret artist to now dive into these "sunken sentences" together with his guests.

He skillfully alternates between beloved punchlines and new finds from the artist's everyday life, which could easily fill their own program.

Those who dive in with Waghubinger will be richly rewarded: with profound thoughts, sharp formulations, and a smile that stays even on land.

“There are only a few cabaret artists who can hold their own against Waghubinger's art of formulation.” (Allgemeine Zeitung Mainz)

Dino-Metal for the whole family!
From the children's room to the legendary Wacken Open Air, from family outings to festival stages, from small clubs to large halls – HEAVYSAURUS plays real metal for young and old. Four dinosaurs and a dragon rock the stages with a show that makes both children and adults raise the "devil's horn". On January 30, 2026, the new album "METAL" will be released with 15 brand new songs. Following that, the five green-scaled heroes will embark on a grand concert tour with the METAL Tour 2026, featuring new songs, a new show, and the tried-and-true dino power!
What began as an unusual idea – rock & metal for kids, with great dino stories but without compromise – has long since developed into a cultural phenomenon. HEAVYSAURUS proves that real headbanger fun knows no age. Their music is loud, lively, and lovingly created, with guitar riffs, double bass drums, sing-along melodies, and lyrics that excite little metalheads. While the kids immerse themselves in the world of rock music, many parents celebrate their musical vibe alongside or rediscover it.
After the overwhelming success of the "Pommesgabel Tour" in 2024 and 2025 – over 350 dates! – HEAVYSAURUS is now following up: with their upcoming album "METAL" (release date January 30, 2026) and a new live program, the band will tour through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
"METAL" is not a children's album in the classic sense, but a musical adventure with captivating songs full of anthemic choruses, driving riffs, wild solos, and plenty of interactive fun, just as parents know from their favorite bands – for example, Sabaton, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Volbeat. And always present: humor, attitude, and the mission to inspire children with music, not as a product, but as an experience.
Heavysaurus concerts are spectacular: light, fog, showers of sparks, balloons, and confetti, with real live music from professional musicians in dino costumes and a sound that is suitable for children's ears and made for rock fans. At a Heavysaurus concert, the entire family experiences a true rock show, kid-friendly and with everything that comes with it. Additionally, there are limited Meet & Greet tickets for the little biggest fans, including a photo, autograph, and paw shake!
Furthermore, the band continues to support "Die Arche," an organization for disadvantaged children: from each ticket, 1 euro goes to charity. 50 cents as a direct donation and 50 cents to support initiatives such as concert visits and other special activities.
HEAVYSAURUS show how music connects generations. And when the children’s hands shoot up in the air during the first song and a loud "Rarrr!" echoes through the room, it's clear: metal lives.
And it lives for everyone.
For the parents: the concert experience is tailored for children aged 3 to 11, but also entertains their parents, grandparents, and siblings, because here the whole family gets their money's worth. The shows take place in the afternoon, at a child-friendly volume, and, where possible, include a special kids' area right at the front with the best view for the little ones. And don’t worry: the dinos don't bite.

Christoph Sonntag is known in "The Länd" like a "Bunt Dog": as a supporter for a good cause on ARD's "Meister des Alltags", as a performer on "Verstehen Sie Spaß?", where he humorously plays tricks on his fellow humans. And of course, as "Brother Christophorus" in his cult show "Das jüngste Gerü(i)cht", where he delivers a fasting sermon criticizing the politicians present.
But his core competence is the live show; he flourishes to incredible heights when he interacts with the audience and performs his wild, technically elaborate cabaret show.
"AZ-NZ, Alte Zeiten, Neue Zeiten" was the name of Christoph Sonntag's successful cult comedy at SWR3, breaking all records! On the radio, it delighted millions, and the TV recording from the Porsche Arena has already been broadcast over two dozen times on ARD.
Now "The King of Swabian Cabaret" (SWR) returns with exactly this cult; in the meantime, the "New Times" of back then have become the new old times of today! And today is already yesterday's tomorrow!
Christoph Sonntag with a new program "AZNZ 2.0", current and spectacular, in an elaborate production and with a guaranteed laughing tear!

“Set sail!” is the call with the imaginative adventure “Wickie und die starken Männer” for children from 5 years old.
The production promises an entertaining experience for the whole family – with lots of live music, humor, and passion, an impressive stage design featuring a moving Viking ship, and a lovingly furnished Viking world. For about 85 minutes plus a break, the audience accompanies the clever Wickie on his exciting journey.
Wickie – the sometimes fearful but always clever boy – proves right from the start that thinking often leads further than muscle power: In a competition with his father Halvar, he prevails with a clever contraption. Initially reluctantly on board as a kitchen boy, Wickie finally becomes part of the crew after a storm and a tense encounter with the terrible Sven – and repeatedly helps the strong men out of tricky situations with his smart ideas.
Joining him are: Halvar, Ylvie, Faxe, Snorre, Tjurre, and Ulme – a colorful bunch that shows what team spirit means through unity and humor. The joy of playing and infectious music take the stage.

Admission and refreshments from 3 PM

When Heinrich Del Core tells his everyday stories in his red shoes, one wants to exclaim: "Stop it! That can't possibly have happened, he must have just made it up!" But all these experiences, which make us laugh so unbelievingly and heartily, are originally lived by him. Heinrich Del Core is a magnet that attracts bizarre everyday situations, which he then presents to us with his inimitably witty charm.
And now the time has come. Heinrich will be a grandpa and much more importantly: his wife will be a grandma! She has been looking forward to this for so long!
The new situation turns everything upside down; overnight, Del Core's world is different. He buys a stroller that costs as much as a moped did in the past, and today as much as a Thermomix. He downloads baby apps for his wife and bakes mother cakes for family coffee gatherings.
Grandpa sounds old to Heinrich?
Because he definitely feels younger - except in the morning when getting up. His joints sometimes make noises... But his wife always cheers him up and says, "You’re still spry." His wife doesn’t have those concerns at all. She says being a grandma is like being a mom - only prettier.
In fact, his wife has never thought about getting older. She once left a note for the children: "At the cemetery." And Heinrich wrote underneath: "But we'll come back."
Then there's also a wedding, two weddings to be precise.
Heinrich gains a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law. And, as it had to happen, a vegan wedding is also on the way. Heinrich wonders, for whom is a vegan wedding a nightmare? For a die-hard bachelor. Is everything cheese, or do you have to let the butter be taken from your bread? Can one question that everything has an end, only the sausage has two?! But there are also other stories; when Heinrich announces that vacation is just around the corner, one knows that something will happen again with the Del Cores. Honestly, who thinks that while on vacation, for example, your suitcase gets invaded by a snake at night?
Absurdities happen everywhere, whether at the cheese counter, in the marital bedroom, or in essays written by elementary school children.
How often is restful sleep interrupted by the cold feet of the wife or the never-ending battle for the blanket? Did you know, for instance, that a third of all couples sleep apart? When the man rivals the noise and air pressure of a leaf blower, the woman often can only save herself by taking off her clothes. And not in an erotic sense.........
Yet despite all the changes in his life, this program is a typical Heinrich Del Core evening, as he himself says: "My wife will be a grandma, but I’ll remain the same."

Go away! Don’t come! Please stop reading immediately!

This is going to be the worst tour ever – for everyone who doesn’t understand fun! If you do, it might actually be quite okay. The Queen of Nonsense is back, and she is funnier than… well… funnier than moss, for example.
And between us: Moss can actually be funny. Cats too. Mirja has one now. Although, let’s be honest: The cat now has a Mirja. And how sweet this Mirja always tries to hide the “gifts” she brings home from the kids.
By the way, the kids are now so big that Mirja is back in puberty as well. Which is, of course, a huge advantage in terms of generational communication. This way, Mirja can truly empathize as a Puberty Mother Tier 1a with the emotional world of her hormone-driven kids. Oh, wait, she has boys. Bummer. But hey! She’s doing everything to go down in history as the un-coolest mom in the world.

Great music is also back. And the Honkey Donkeys are joining too. Note: Please be careful! As she ages, Ms. Boes is increasingly losing her empathy. She now says things like: “We all need to have less musts” or “Sometimes you have to let go. Even with little angels flying.” And very often she waves back to people even though she wasn’t meant. So please come to the show and take care of her before the old lady completely loses it.

The band from the Stuttgart area is not only named that way, but they also have what it takes to be an awesome AC/DC tribute band - BIG BALLS.
A wonderfully grooving rhythm section paired with bone-dry Australian guitar riffs and a singing style so close to the original that it gives you goosebumps and makes you think Bon Scott has risen again.
This makes them one of the best AC/DC tribute bands in Southern Germany. A live show by BIG BALLS is intense, and the band plays through the entire creative phase of AC/DC. Sweat flows in streams - not just from the musicians. When the 5 guys step on stage, there can only be one motto: Let There Be Rock!!!

Andreas Kümmert spans his stylistic range from rock and blues to soul, highly contagious funk, to grand pop music and soulful gospel influences. Songs full of personality; music shaped by the strong creed of a strong man and artist. "One is accountable to no one but oneself," says Andreas Kümmert. As a free spirit and individualist, Andreas knows what he is talking about. In 2013, he won the TV casting show "The Voice Of Germany." In 2015, he emerged as the winner of the German preliminary round for the Eurovision Song Contest under the motto "Unser Song für Österreich," but he declined to participate on live television.

Unlike most participants of such TV formats, Andreas Kümmert remains consistently successful and continues to be one of the most sought-after artists in soul/rock/blues. His distinctive blues and soul voice and his talent for creating goosebump-inducing songs carry the Franconian artist year after year through Germany and Europe, and in 2019, he even sold out the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie.

For several years now, he has taken complete control of his career and can fully realize himself artistically on his own label, Vomit Records. The new album with the expressive title "Working Class Hero" encompasses all facets of the exceptional artist, from powerful rock 'n' roll numbers to magnificent ballads. And it includes something else: a newly recorded version of his "The Voice" blind audition song "Rocket Man," originally by Elton John. To this day, the track earns him the nickname "Rocket Man," a description of the phenomenon Andreas Kümmert as a down-to-earth, completely grounded character who suddenly explodes on stage. "The song is simply part of my story," Kümmert says. "I also play it live and thought it deserved to be on an album." After all, the song was his springboard ten years ago.

Live, visitors can expect an energetic show with a cross-section of Kümmert's complete repertoire and songs from his new live double album.

Doors open and catering starts at 6 p.m.

The eight-member band FATCAT is pure Funk power! With a generous portion of good mood and incredibly driving music, they twist their listeners' heads. A captivating soul voice, cutting horn lines, and fat beats create the mix - resulting in a unique blend of funk, soul, R&B, disco, and rock.

The core of FATCAT had already played under the name Project Mayhem before the founding in 2013, but only instrumentally. A singer was needed to develop musically. With Kenny, the music students from the Jazz & Rock schools in Freiburg found a fitting singer and entertainer. The first two albums "New Funk" and "Get On Up" were produced independently, followed by the studio album "Champagne Rush" through Orange Goose Records. The funk band diligently played gig after gig and established themselves in the scene within a short time. The band has already played at festivals such as the ZMF in Freiburg, the Stimmen Festival in Lörrach, and the Jazzopen in Stuttgart. They have also appeared as support for renowned acts like Jamie Cullum, Anastacia, Saga, and Chaka Khan. A highlight in the still young career of the musicians was definitely their participation in the renowned Montreux Jazz Festival in 2018. The third studio EP "Love Child" was released in April 2019.

FATCAT provides great concert moments live. Don’t miss the funk formation and experience the talented artists for yourself. Secure your tickets now!

This Bempflinger is wild, funny, and quick as a flash.
With a sharp mind and charming humor, Mr. Hämmerle is rarely at a loss for an answer or excuse.

In the new program "ESCAPE ROOMS - everything is hunky-dory!", he also has Hardrock Grandma Mrs. Schwerdtfeger, who still knows where the hammer hangs, and Hotte, the bar philosopher, with him. Together they show: Where it gets dangerous, the fun really begins!
Be it during a visit to an escape room, in a survival camp, or in the theater at Schiller's Robbers.

Mr. Hämmerle is full of energy. He combines initiative with cleverness - and despite all the complications of everyday life, he continually surprises with a healthy dose of joie de vivre.

Do you have to let go of dreams that just won’t come true?
Realistically, yes, but luckily, Abdelkarim doesn’t dwell on realism for long. With his new program "Plan Z", he shows us that the alphabet has 26 letters for a reason. Where Plan B fails miserably, Plan Z is just warming up. From six-packs in express time to world peace for everyone: When Abdelkarim tackles our problems, everything seems possible, even for him. The often absurd everyday life with its small and large issues that we all want to get a handle on is closely examined. The Moroccan peace dove points out the wounds but also has 26 Band-Aids with her. Is this comedy or cabaret? Honestly, we don’t know, but it is above all funny, honest, usually subtle, and if necessary, it hits hard.
"Plan Z" is Abdelkarim's fourth full-length solo program, starting in October 2024. His last tour was sold out early in many places. So secure your tickets quickly now! Abdelkarim is a popular regular on TV: heute-show, Die Anstalt, Nuhr im Ersten, Amazon's Lol, Let’s Dance, and many more. His internet clips like "Ok Ciao - Hallo?" went viral millions of times. The Bielefeld native and Duisburg resident has received multiple awards, including the German Television Award, the Goldene Kamera, the Bavarian Cabaret Prize, and the Jury Prize of the Wühlmäuse Cabaret Festival.
