GOETHES ERBEN + Support: THE ARCH
DYSTOPIE FRISST EMPATHIE (Dystopia Devours Empathy) – TOUR 2026

Since their formation in 1989, GOETHES ERBEN have stood for a unique fusion of music, theater, and emotional performance. With their current tour, "DYSTOPIE FRISST EMPATHIE," they look back on their extensive body of work—while simultaneously looking ahead.

Each leg of the tour features a different setlist, as GOETHES ERBEN aim to bring as many of their works as possible back to the stage during the remaining years of this tour. The result is an episodic journey through their own past, complemented by new tracks presented exclusively in a live setting.

What to expect:
• An extraordinary music-theater experience
• Impressive lighting and video projections
• An intense dramatic arc filled with emotion
• Unique concert evenings—no two shows are exactly alike

GOETHES ERBEN take their audience on an emotional journey ranging from melancholy to hope. It is an experience of laughter, tears, dancing, and shared emotion. Musically, the spectrum spans from powerful industrial sounds and electronic elements to delicate string arrangements and intimate piano moments.
Many of their lyrics have lost none of their intensity—some feel more relevant today than ever. Those who experience GOETHES ERBEN can look forward to an evening filled with memories, emotions, and moving moments.

Special Guest:
Joining them is the Belgian cult band The Arch, who will be celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2026.

An evening that gets under your skin.

Doors open: 5:00 PM
