“When our album Crazy World was released back in ’91, right at the end of the cold war, we toured around a world that was pretty crazy back then, but there was so much hope in the air for a more peaceful future. Now 26 years later, things are getting more crazy every other day.  After all these years, ‘Crazy World’ is still a good motto for our upcoming world tour.  We are very much looking forward to seeing all of you out there,” states Klaus Meine.
 
With over 100 million records sold around the world, the band will play fan favorites from their incredible catalogue including “Wind of Change,” “Still Loving You,” “Rock You Like A Hurricane,” “Send Me An Angel” and many more. They’ll also be performing songs off their 19th studio album and most recent release, Return To Forever.
