Max Raabe & Palast Orchester are surprisingly direct about their new program: “Come on over!” That’s the title of their new 2027/28 tour. This invitation is meant with deep compassion, as the chorus of the title song reveals: Come on over / Sit down next to me / Don’t be so sad / It’s good that you’re here.
In general, the concert audience is noticeably taken by the hand. Well-known songs like “Guten Tag, liebes Glück” or “Küssen kann man nicht alleine” are complemented by new compositions, such as “Bekloppt.” The new Raabe pop blends seamlessly into the repertoire that Max Raabe & the Palast Orchester have always been known for: the music of the 1920s and 1930s. Classics like “Heute Nacht oder nie” or “Dort tanzt Lulu” still find their way straight into the hearts of listeners, even in the modern world.
The poster promoting the tour in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland fits this program perfectly: Max Raabe stands under an umbrella—flanked by two distinctive alpacas—on the runway of Berlin’s former Tempelhof Airport. What else?
