It will be a celebration: Die Toten Hosen celebrate the 40th birthday of the band - also with a concert in the Munich Olympic Stadium.
You are turning 40 and are not a bit quiet.
Founded in 1982 almost directly in Ratinger Hof, at that time Düsseldorf's hip artist bar, the Toten Hosen are going on an anniversary tour next year.
On June 18, 2022 the band will stop at the Munich Olympic Stadium - Campino and Co. will rock the south curve.
"We can hardly wait for it to start again," the group told their fans.
“Appropriate to the occasion, we would of course like to prove ourselves to be the perfect hosts.
Therefore we are already in the middle of the preparations to let the cow fly for our big birthday together with the guests and you! ”The tour starts on June 10th, 2022 in Cologne, this performance is already sold out.
Advance sales for the Munich gig will start on November 24th at 10 a.m.
The Toten Hosen emerged from the ZK group
In 1982, Die Hosen were the successors of the legendary group ZK, which was extremely important for the development of German punk music. Of the founding members, singer Campino, guitarists Andreas von Holst and Michael Breitkopf and bassist Andreas Meurer are still there today. Vom Ritchie has had a seat behind the drums since 1998. The band has of course long since arrived in the mainstream; “Days like this” was the soundtrack of the German team at the European Football Championship in 2012 and is also shown on the CDU. But if you put on the debut "Opel-Gang" from 1983 again, you will hear the roots of the pants: fast punk (the title song lasts just one minute, 47 seconds), based on British and US models, sung in German. And as it should be for a real punk band, all members were musical self-taught.
Die Toten Hosen released their first album in 1983
Already the third single - "Eisgekühlter Bommerlunder", a timelessly good punk number - reveals what defines the Toten Hosen: at best, the songs develop an enormous, increasing energy - and are ideally suited to sing along (and whoever shouts along has also its fun).
The best example: “Here comes Alex” from the album “A little bit of horror show” (1988), the band's commercial breakthrough.
The group has long since left its punk roots behind.
Purists may complain about that.
But without this development there would be nothing to celebrate next summer.
