Höhner 11+11 - Die Live-Tour 2025

"Princess", "It's not like you think", "Au Revoir": The Höhner continue their great musical success story with great hits. With the album "11+11" in 2024, the musicians recorded eleven brand new songs and showed that the Höhner are more up-to-date than ever. In addition, they took eleven timeless milestones from the band's history, re-recorded them in a modern way and brought them into the musical present. Because even today, the Höhner, just like the cathedral city they sing about, are still "e Jeföhl"! Everyone can be inspired by this on the new live tour "11+11".

Celebrated for decades for their sound without blinkers, for a musical "feeling" that can be understood everywhere despite the Cologne dialect, for their forays into other cultural contexts - from their own rock and roll circus show to Wacken - the Höhner are now opening the next chapter live. "Now we want to show where the Höhner currently stand and, above all, how they sound," announces singer Patrick Lück.

Of course, the frontman knows very well what a gift the stylistic freedom that the Höhner have is: one minute they are singers, then "in the circus they are more of an artist or clown", musically they move seamlessly between rock, pop, party sounds, hits and folk. "Thanks to this flexibility that we have, we can always surprise the fans without straying too far from our tradition." It's no wonder that "11+11" is extremely varied and, precisely for this reason, sounds absolutely consistent - and above all, authentic.

The joy of playing, the sound and the unique energy of this band have always been fed by newcomers and transfers: Since the third singer Henning Krautmacher handed over the baton to Patrick Lück in 2021, the current six-man chain also consists of Micki Schläger (keyboards, vocals), Jens Streifling (guitar, sax, mandolin), Heiko Braun (drums), Freddi Lubitz (bass, vocals) and Edin Čolić aka Meister Ede (lead guitar). The six of them are continuing the history of the institution founded in 1972 as "Ne Höhnerhoff", whose "Viva Colonia" was even covered by Metallica a few years ago.
