DIE TOTEN HOSEN 2026

DIE TOTEN HOSEN will return to RheinEnergieSTADION in 2026. The legendary band from Cologne’s neighbouring city of Düsseldorf will perform in Cologne on 18 July 2026 as part of their “Trink aus! Wir müssen gehen.” (“Finish Your Drink! We Have to Go.”) tour. Due to overwhelming demand, an additional concert has been scheduled for 17 July 2026 at RheinEnergieSTADION.

A tour stop virtually on their doorstep has always been something special for frontman Campino and the band. Following Helene Fischer (27 June 2026), Cologne can now look forward to welcoming another of Germany’s biggest live acts. The 2026 concert summer at RheinEnergieSTADION is already shaping up to be an outstanding season of live music.

Lutz Wingerath, Managing Director of Kölner Sportstätten, is equally enthusiastic:

“DIE TOTEN HOSEN are an outstanding live band. What makes me especially happy is that we’re welcoming a band that has been creating great music for decades and continues to attract fans from several generations. I’m sure we’re in for a fantastic concert experience, and we’ll be the perfect hosts for our friends from Düsseldorf.”
