AnnenMayKantereit 2026

They’re doing it again! Just three years after their celebrated stadium debut, AnnenMayKantereit will return to RheinEnergieSTADION in 2026. On 11 July 2026, the Echo Award-winning band, who first came together as students at Cologne’s Schiller-Gymnasium in the district of Sülz, will perform for the second time at the stadium in their hometown.

Their return means that five major concert highlights are already confirmed for RheinEnergieSTADION in 2026. In addition to AnnenMayKantereit, Helene Fischer (27 June), Niedecken’s BAP (10 July), and Die Toten Hosen (17 & 18 July) will also perform in Cologne.

Lutz Wingerath, Managing Director of Kölner Sportstätten, is looking forward to the band’s homecoming:

“The 2023 concert was an incredibly atmospheric and emotional evening. The fact that AnnenMayKantereit are returning to perform at RheinEnergieSTADION after just three years shows that both the band and their fans felt the same way. The entire Kölner Sportstätten team is looking forward to another fantastic concert night.”
