The cheekiest rhino in the world is going on tour again!
DIKKA has announced a 40-date "BOAH IST DAS KRASS 2" tour through Germany, Austria and Switzerland for 2026. This promises a super-cool trip, lots of evenings and unforgettable concert experiences for guests of all ages.
The year is 2020 and a little rhino from Berlin Zoo is setting out to conquer the world of music. In his luggage: Lots of thick rhymes and beats - and a little support from some of the biggest names in the German pop landscape. Fast forward five years: today, every child knows who DIKKA is. There are now bed linen, sneakers, muesli, ice cream and even skateboards from the Reimnozeros - not to mention countless hit songs and features with the biggest names in the local scene: Sido, LEA, CRO, Wincent Weiss, Nico Santos, Mark Forster, Lena, Kontra K, SDP, Alvaro Soler, Kool Savas ... - a who's who of German pop music that shows just how powerful the rhino has long been. Oh yes, and by the way, he also sold out Berlin's Uber Arena and transformed it into a huge rhino enclosure together with 13,000 spectators. Pretty cool, right?
DIKKA's fourth album "BOAH ist das krass" impressively demonstrates how consistently he translates the everyday lives of young listeners into modern pop music: whether it's "Superkind", "Nein heisst Nein", "Ich bin Ich" or "Liebe Traurigkeit" - DIKKA tackles self-confidence, boundaries, courage, self-doubt and big emotions without wagging a finger, always at eye level and with his typical wink. Social issues also resonate: "Peace" makes a statement against war and violence, while "Astronaut" (feat. Giraffe Monkeys) deals with climate awareness in a child-friendly way. At the same time, the album remains light, cheeky and playful - a balancing act that DIKKA masters better than almost anyone else.
His 2025 tour has made it clear that DIKKA's concerts are far more than just a children's program: when the lights go out, when animal anecdotes cause hilarity and the kids in the front section sing along at the top of their lungs, a feeling is created that connects parents and children alike. The shows offer space for euphoric frolicking, but also for quiet, surprisingly emotional moments - for example, when songs like "Zusammen" with Montez give everyone goosebumps.
DIKKA promises another energetic, colorful and empowering live experience in 2026. The children can dance, be loud, dream, be amazed - and feel part of the Nashorngang. It is precisely this mixture of fun, attitude and warmth that makes DIKKA's live shows unique.
His success is based on organic growth, an unconventional approach and a clear mission: children should feel safe, seen and brave with him. "I want children to have a good buddy by their side through my music," says DIKKA - and this attitude shapes every album and every show.
With 40 tour stops, DIKKA will be bringing his bunt, loud and loving rhino world to the stage again in 2026. An experience for children - and all those who were once one. Wow, this is going to be awesome!
