Due to illness, the doctors have to postpone performances of the “Berlin Tour MMXXII” through clubs in the capital.
Two dates on Friday and Saturday are affected, the Berlin band said.
Previously, a concert by drummer Bela B, guitarist Farin Urlaub and bassist Rodrigo González had to be canceled.
There is a case of illness among the musicians, it said.
No further details were given.
Last year, the band had to postpone concerts on their "In The Ä Tonight Tour" tour that were sold out due to corona and then cancel them altogether.
"For months, our tour organizer KKT and our management, together with other members of the event organizer industry, have been trying behind the scenes to negotiate a nationwide uniform regulation for concerts," the trio wrote about the cancellation.
"That didn't work (so shortly before the elections)."
At the beginning of May, the trio, which started as a punk band, finally reported back on stage with a frenetically celebrated concert after a Corona break.
The concerts are a foretaste of the stadium tour starting in June with 20 performances in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (here is a concert overview of the band).
rumors of separation
During the two-and-a-half-hour concert, the self-proclaimed "best band in the world" drew heavily on material from the most recent albums "Hell" and "Dunkel", both of which were created during the pandemic and each ended up at number one in the charts.
The albums also mark the end of long years of crisis for the band, with many rumors of another split (read a review of the new album »Dunkel« here).
The Berlin tour, originally with 13 concerts in small clubs, halls and open-air stages, is also intended to support the scene in which the Berlin band has become known and grown after the pandemic phase, which has been difficult for many clubs.
