For their new programme, Max Raabe & Palast Orchester are surprisingly direct: “Come Over Here!” That is the title of their new tour for 2027/28. The invitation is meant in the most heartfelt and compassionate way, as the refrain of the title song reveals:"Komm mal her" ("Come over here") / "Setz dich zu mir hin" ("Sit down next to me") / "Sei nicht so betrübt" ("Don’t be so sad") / "Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt" ("It’s good that you exist").

The audience is taken by the hand throughout the concerts in a way that is both tangible and warm. Familiar songs such as “Guten Tag, liebes Glück” (“Hello, Dear Happiness”) and “Küssen kann man nicht alleine” (“You Can’t Kiss Alone”) are joined by new compositions such as “Bekloppt” (“Crazy”). The new Raabe Pop fits seamlessly into the repertoire that Max Raabe & Palast Orchester have always stood for: the music of the 1920s and 1930s. Classics such as “Heute Nacht oder nie” (“Tonight or Never”) and “Dort tanzt Lulu” (“There Lulu Dances”) still find their way straight to the hearts of listeners in the modern world.

The poster promoting the tour in Germany, Austria and Switzerland is a perfect match for the programme: beneath an umbrella, Max Raabe stands on the runway of the former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin, flanked by two elegant alpacas. What else could it be?
