Die Toten Hosen Tour 2026: Tickets, dates, presale – All information about the concerts in Germany
Die Toten Hosen have thrilled their fans with a surprising video: The Düsseldorf-based punk rock band has announced a new tour through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland for 2026. Under the title "Drink up! We must go," the band, led by frontman Campino, is planning a total of 17 shows – including performances in Berlin, Munich, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, and Hanover. The tour's name alone is causing a stir: Speculation is mounting on social media as to whether this could be the cult band's last big tour.
Since their formation in 1982, Die Toten Hosen have represented German-language punk rock with attitude, energy, and poise like no other band. They played their first concert on April 10 of that year at the Schlachthof in Bremen – what was then a young, rebellious band became one of the most famous and influential rock bands in the country. With their songs, tours, and statements, Die Toten Hosen have earned a loyal fan base spanning generations.
The band most recently celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2022 with a sold-out tour of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Numerous concerts are still planned across Europe for 2025 – but what comes after that is already causing controversy. With the announcement of the new tour "Trink aus! Wir müssen gehen" (Drink out! We must go) for summer 2026, a question has flared up again: Could this be the last major chapter in the band's history?
This speculation was sparked by a nearly two-minute video the band posted on Instagram. It features emotional flashbacks, live scenes, and the tour title – underscored by an almost melancholic tone. Since then, comments from concerned fans have been piling up on social media, interpreting the title as a hidden hint of a farewell tour. Such a step has not yet been officially confirmed – but the title, combined with the production, leaves room for interpretation.
Whether the 2026 tour is actually the Toten Hosen's last major live chapter or not, demand is likely to be high – and the summer will be loud.
The "Drink Up! We Must Go" tour will take Die Toten Hosen across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg in the summer of 2026. A total of 17 dates have been announced so far, including concerts in some of the country's biggest stadiums.

Anyone who wants to see Die Toten Hosen live on the "Trink Aus! Wir müssen gehen" tour should act fast: The exclusive presale starts on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at 6:00 PM – exclusively via the band's official website . All further details regarding prices, availability, and possible additional dates will also be published there.
Experience has shown that tours by the Düsseldorf punk rock legends are likely to attract high demand – even if the venues chosen for the tour are consistently large. The organizers therefore recommend creating an account in their online shop in advance to increase your chances of purchasing tickets.
Die Toten Hosen will return in 2026 with a major stadium tour – bringing not only their greatest hits, but also, it seems, a certain melancholy to the stage. The title "Trink aus! Wir müssen gehen" (Drink out! We must go) sounds like a farewell, even though the band itself hasn't given any concrete hints about a career end yet.
Whether this will indeed be the Düsseldorf band's last major tour or simply another highlight in a long band history, one thing is certain: the coming summer will be emotional, loud, and unforgettable. For many fans, it will likely be one of the last opportunities to experience Campino and his band live in this form.
