Following sold-out concerts in September, Herbert Grönemeyer is continuing his successful concert series ‘mittendrin – akustisch’ (right in the middle – acoustic). Accompanied by his band, choir and orchestra, he will be presenting his songs in February 2026 as part of a specially designed stage show. The tour schedule includes eight cities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. 

Cologne, 27 October 2025 – Under the motto ‘mittendrin – akustisch’, Herbert Grönemeyer thrilled audiences in Dortmund and Berlin this year with his band, choir and orchestra. Musicians and audience were in top form and enjoyed unforgettable evenings. The result: continued enormous demand for tickets. That's why, after sold-out shows with more than 90,000 tickets sold in just two cities, it's far from over. It will continue in 2026. In February, Grönemeyer and his colleagues will give a total of eight more ‘mittendrin – akustisch’ concerts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. 

Despite the unplugged concept, ‘mittendrin – akustisch’ is by no means a concert series exclusively featuring quiet tunes. The programme includes rock classics such as ‘Alkohol’, “Vollmond” and ‘Bochum’. The musicians play on a specially designed centre stage. This creates a particularly intimate atmosphere in which the newly arranged songs from over four decades of Grönemeyer create a unique mood. 

He will be back at the Westfalenhalle on 17 February 2026.
