In the artist's words:

Two decades after TONI became a child star alongside Florian Silbereisen and Helene Fischer, the now 28-year-old is one of the most exciting talents in German pop music. After numerous support shows for the big players on the scene, the Leipzig native is now embarking on his first club tour through eastern Germany and is hoping for a full house - not least because of the enormous reach of his latest short videos on Instagram.

Much like his career to date, TONI'sfirst club tour is also self-made: The three tour stops in Leipzig (05.03.26, Neues Schauspiel), Erfurt (06.03.26, VEB Kultur) and Chemnitz (07.03.26, Weltecho) will take place without major managements, concert organizers or promoters. In return, pop music fans will experience an authentic singer-songwriter and 100% live music with his four-piece band.

As the son of ex-Randfichten singer "Rups", the live stage soon became TONI'shome. With the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, his musical work initially shifted to the studio: "I'm all the more looking forward to finally playing live again and meeting all the people in person who have become part of my community in recent years through streaming and social media," explains the native of the Erzgebirge region.

About TONI

When TONI released his first song "Sommerregen" in 2013, nobody thought he would have a career in German pop culture. The shadows cast by his own success as a child star in Florian Silbereisen's shows and his father's success as a singer in the folk music combo "De Randfichten" seemed too great. But just a few years later, TONI was dubbed the "East German hope of pop music" by the Süddeutsche Zeitung, played support shows for Max Giesinger, LEA and Gestört aber GeiL and had over ten million video views on YouTube - even German rock legend Peter Maffay revealed himself as a fan on Facebook.

TONI has been fighting for his dreams since he was a child, through dirt and pain: neither extreme bullying at school nor a broken record deal with Sony Music can stop the thoroughbred musician. While concert and festival promoters initially boycotted TONI due to his folksy past, he is now considered an insider tip for every pop line-up. Even when the musician fell ill with hemiplegia in 2020, giving up was never an option for him. Although he had to relearn how to speak, laugh and sing, he continued to write songs in which he processed his experiences. For the first time, he worked together with various songwriters and producers who were also trusted by big names in the scene such as Nico Santos, Michael Patrick Kelly and Madeline Juno.

With his latest and third album Tag X at the latest, TONI has arrived where his fans believe he belongs: for the first time, he has been placed in the biggest German pop playlist POPLAND and has recorded more than three million streams across all platforms to date. Autobiographical lyrics about love, friendship, hope and death meet catchy melodies and the sound of the big city.

In Berlin, TONI is now in the final stages of completing his upcoming fourth longplayer. His club tour, announced for March 2026, will present new, as yet unreleased tracks alongside his well-known songs. TONI also speaks from the soul of an entire generation with short videos on TikTok and Instagram, which regularly reach millions. The best is yet to come!
