AnnenMayKantereit — Hallenstadion, Zurich, 2026

Why this recording

Two back-to-back nights at Zürich's Hallenstadion, on 26 and 27 September 2026, frame this full AnnenMayKantereit concert from the Swiss leg of the band's 2026 tour. On the Saturday, as logged on setlist.fm, the band opened with “Marie” and “Nur wegen dir”, then worked “Pocahontas” and “Oft gefragt” into the middle of the set. That show ran about an hour and thirty-five minutes. Support came from Benjamin Amaru on the Saturday and Soft Loft on the Sunday.

Full concert by AnnenMayKantereit at the Hallenstadion in Zurich in 2026. Formed in Cologne, the band has become one of the mainstays of German-language rock, driven by Henning May’s raw, instantly recognisable voice. On stage the trio — May on vocals and piano, Christopher Annen on guitar, Severin Kantereit on drums — is joined by bassist Sophie Chassée and a brass section, giving the songs a fuller footing than on record. This live capture conveys the shifts between piano ballads and more upbeat numbers, as well as the rapport with a won-over Swiss crowd. The full-concert format highlights the long build-ups and mass sing-alongs typical of their shows. A reference filmed live concert to discover the stage power of a band that turned German-sung rock into a stadium phenomenon. Keywords: AnnenMayKantereit live, filmed concert, Zurich 2026, rock. Broken through with the album Alles Nix Konkretes (2016), the band confirmed its standing with Schlagschatten (2018) and 12 (2020), establishing itself as a benchmark of German-language rock filling arenas across the region.
