In the organizer's words:

With one of the most powerful voices in modern music history and her unmistakably unique timbre, pop icon Anastacia has been one of the most successful pop stars of her time worldwide since the early 2000s. Although she failed to achieve major success in her home country, the USA, she sold more than 50 million records worldwide and celebrated multi-platinum hits such as "I'm Outta Love", "Paid My Dues" and "Left Outside Alone". To date, the singer has received over 225 awards in a total of 31 countries and has had number 1 hits in 19 countries. In addition, her eight albums released to date have earned her awards such as the World Music Award, the MTV EMA, several ECHOs, a Golden Camera, a Bambi, the Women's World Award and many more. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of her iconic debut album "Not That Kind", which Anastacia is celebrating on a tour of the UK and Europe with her greatest hits and promises her fans special shows. On the #NTK26 tour, she will be performing in Hanover, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Berlin in fall 2026 and will also make a stop in Vienna.

The fact that German-speaking countries play a special role in Anastacia's career was already clear from the release of her debut album "Not That Kind" in 2000. The album entered the charts at number 2 in Germany and number 3 in Austria and stayed in both charts for more than 80 weeks. In 2001, "Freak of Nature" became the singer's first number 1 album in Germany, narrowly missing out on the top spot in Austria. In 2004, her third album "Anastacia" reached #1 in the charts in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the UK and was consequently greeted by multi-platinum awards in all countries. At the peak of her career, Anastacia was undoubtedly one of the most successful voices in the pop world and, together with Eros Ramazotti, crowned herself with her first number 1 hit in Germany with the joint duet "I Belong To You (Il Ritmo Della Passione)". This was followed by a longer break, which Anastacia ended in 2008 with her album "Heavy Rotation". This was followed in the 2010s by the albums "It's a Man's World" (2012), "Resurrection" (2014) and "Evolution" (2017). After Anastacia celebrated the 22nd anniversary of her smash hit "I'm Outta Love" on her massive I'm Outta Lockdown - The 22nd Anniversary Tour in the UK and Europe, she released the next chapter of her career with "Our Songs" in 2023. The album - a covers album with interpretations of songs by Tokio Hotel, Unheilig, Die Toten Hosen, Scorpions, Udo Lindenberg and many more - is her tribute to the best songs and melodies she discovered while on tour in Germany - a country where she has sold more than 3 million records to date. With "Our Songs", Anastacia reached number 2 in the German album charts in September 2023 and number 5 in Austria and Switzerland - her highest chart entry in 20 years, which once again proves the special status Anastacia enjoys in German-speaking countries.
