BETRAM ENGEL - Mit alten Männern spiel‘ ich nicht – LIVE

In the organizer's words:

Bertram Engel, the drummer who has formed the backbone of the Peter Maffay Band and Udo Lindenberg's Panikorchester for many decades, has written his memoirs.

In MIT ALTEN MÄNNERN' SPIEL ICH NICHT he talks about how he has been in the spotlight with the two for almost five decades and shares unique moments on and behind the stage from the eventful life of a rock star.

With the same irrepressible energy and openness for which his band colleagues appreciate him, he will bring these anecdotes and experiences live to Germany's most beautiful stages from fall 2024.

The stage program is a mixture of excerpts from his book, which he will read himself, the performance of songs that he has written over the years for Maffay, Lindenberg and other greats and which he will play and sing himself on the grand piano.

He will be accompanied on this evening journey through German rock 'n' roll history by audiovisual recordings, contemporary witnesses and musicians who will accompany his stories with music and dialog.

THINK BIG has brought Seven.One Starwatch on board as a partner to get fans excited about this live concept, which has never been seen on German stages in this form before.

In this constellation, Seven.One Starwatch acts as the national promoter and will communicate the tour to a broad audience using the station group's concentrated linear and digital marketing structure.

Fabian Schulte-Terboven, Managing Director of THINK BIG: "When I heard Bertram Engel read from his autobiography for the first time, it was clear to me that this program had to go live on tour: the varied mixture of reading, concert and musical contemporary history is sure to inspire all visitors. With Starwatch, we have the right partner at our side to explain this truly innovative concept in its entirety and to get the fans excited about it.

Christian Okon, Senior Vice President Starwatch Music and Live Entertainment & Managing Director MMP:

We are delighted to bring this exciting new live concept by and with Bertram Engel to the many loyal fans of Peter Maffay and Udo Lindenberg; RTK and Starwatch have a long-standing collaboration that we are consistently expanding with this tour.
