The German cult band Die Prinzen has announced a farewell tour for 2027, with Frankfurt’s Festhalle confirmed as one of the final stops on a nationwide circuit spanning Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
The Leipzig-formed group, known for 1990s hits like „Alles nur geklaut“ and „Küssen verboten,“ will play the Festhalle on November 16, 2027, after opening the tour in Hof an der Saale on October 22 and closing with shows in Vienna and Zurich in December.
Ticket sales begin Tuesday, April 21, 2026, for what the band describes as a „great thank you to the audience,“ featuring special arrangements, personal moments and possible surprises after over three decades of activity.
The tour includes approximately 20 concerts across the three countries, with three confirmed dates in Saxony: Dresden on October 30, Leipzig on November 5 and Zwickau on November 18, 2027.
Die Prinzen, who have sold around six million recordings, rose to fame from their roots in the Leipzig Thomanerchor, where members Sebastian Krumbiegel and Tobias Künzel once sang.

Beyond pop success, the band has maintained a reputation for social and political engagement, regularly speaking out against right-wing violence and advocating for tolerance, democracy and critical examination of extremism through benefit concerts and onstage statements.
Although the Ärzte are also scheduled to perform two shows in Frankfurt in May 2027, Die Prinzen’s farewell tour represents a rare closing chapter for one of Germany’s most enduring pop acts from the reunification era.
Why is the Festhalle Frankfurt significant in the tour?
The Festhalle Frankfurt is a major venue on the farewell tour, hosting the band on November 16, 2027, as part of a German leg that includes three Saxony dates and international finales in Austria and Switzerland.
What makes Die Prinzen’s farewell tour more than just a nostalgia run?
The tour emphasizes special arrangements and personal moments, reflecting the band’s legacy of combining humor with social engagement, including activism against right-wing violence and support for democratic values.
