This is probably the best news of the still young new year: the madness continues!
Wolfgang Petry’s tribute production Wahnsinn – Die Show returns to the stage in 2026 and 2027 as a big birthday celebration. It marks the year in which “Wolle” would celebrate his 75th birthday and 50th stage anniversary. Even though he no longer performs live himself, fans still have the greatest joy celebrating his legendary hits and catchy songs.

“Wahnsinn – Die Show” not only features numerous Wolfgang Petry hits but also takes the audience on a breathtaking journey through time, reviving emotional moments, entertaining stories, and personal anecdotes from Petry’s remarkable career. The show, which will take place for the fifth time in 2026 and 2027, puts the music and original songs of the Schlager icon at its center and celebrates the big Wolfgang Petry birthday party with classics such as “Verlieben, verloren, vergessen, verzeihen,” “Der Himmel brennt,” and of course “Wahnsinn.”

What fans love about this show is its authentic concert atmosphere. In terms of storytelling, the production connects to the legendary final concert of Petry’s acclaimed Einfach Geil Tour in 1999. Using original video footage from that time, the audience is transported back—almost at lightning speed—into the unique feeling of that era: experiencing the energy once more and celebrating the hits as if there were no tomorrow. Since the music legend has not performed live for many years, the show gives fans the chance to sing along to his greatest songs once again.

Audiences can also look forward to a completely new stage production, specially created for this anniversary tour and set to raise the bar once again. An outstanding live band and talented soloists will authentically bring the Wolfgang Petry feeling to the stage, celebrating his music with passion together with the fans.
