Heino heralds the future of Schlager: Big tour announced in 2026!

In Brandenburg you can look forward to a very special musical treat in 2026: Heino, the German pop star, is going on a big concert tour under the title “HEINO – Made in Germany”. The starting signal is on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, in the Osterholz-Scharmbeck town hall. Fans can look forward to a colorful mix of pop and folk songs as well as musical surprises. The planned hits include “Rosamunde”, “Karamba, Karacho, ein Whiskey”, “Blue Blooms the Gentian”, “The Black Barbara” and “La Paloma”. The presentation of the German national anthem, which Heino will perform on stage for the first time, will be particularly exciting.

The folk music icon has had an impressive career over the last seven decades. As one of the most successful German musicians, Heino has sold over 50 million records and is known not only for his baritone voice and his typical appearance, which is characterized by his dark sunglasses. His performance in Potsdam, where he recently presented a potpourri of local songs with loyal fans, shows how much people appreciate his music. “Old Comrades” and the catchy “Karamba, Karacho, ein Whiskey” were sung with a lot of passion, while two background singers and a teleprompter supported Heino on stage, reports the Daily Mirror.

Tradition meets modernity

The appearance in Potsdam's Nikolaisaal under the motto “Made in Germany” showed a successful combination of tradition and modernity. Heino never tires of emphasizing that folk music still has its place despite the multitude of modern music styles. “Folk songs will continue to be heard in the future,” emphasizes the 86-year-old emphatically. A highlight of the evening was standing together for the third verse of the German national anthem, which gave the concert a patriotic touch.

His image as “Germany’s last punk” is reflected not only in his music, but also in his stage presence. This nickname, an allusion to the quote from Jello Biafra, the frontman of the Dead Kennedys, shows how Heino always remains in conversation - not only because of his music, but also because of his unconventional charisma. Merchandise items with creative prints were also very popular at his concerts.

A look into the past

Heinrich Georg Kramm, Heino's real name, is a child of war. Born on December 13, 1938 in Düsseldorf, he experienced formative turning points at a young age. His musical interest began early after he got an accordion at the age of 10. He started his career in the 1960s and grew over the years to become one of the biggest icons in the German music landscape.

With a multitude of gold records and unforgettable hits, he has secured a place in the hearts of Germans. He looks back on an eventful history that also includes personal tragedies, such as the loss of his wife Hannelore, who died in 2023. Despite his numerous successes, Heino remains humble and does not shy away from his musical responsibilities.

As part of the upcoming tour, Heino promises a good mood, the best atmosphere and an unforgettable show experience. Anyone interested in the concerts can find all the information about them here Regioactive.
