Chris Norman - Junction 55

In the organizer's words:

He is a true icon of international rock music and, with his extraordinary talent as a singer/songwriter, has had a decisive influence on the soundtrack of countless teenagers in the 80s and 90s - there is hardly a cassette that doesn't feature "Midnight Lady" or one of his other big hits. In 2024, he will finally be back live on stage in Germany! Chris Norman is probably just as impatient as his still huge fan base and can hardly wait to go on a major tour of Germany in April 2024.

Both as the frontman of his legendary cult band Smokie and as a solo musician, Chris Norman has achieved pretty much everything you could ever dream of as a musician: 21 hit singles, including numerous number 1 hits, 22 albums and well over 20 million records sold comprise his illustrious career to date. His solo single "Midnight Lady" hit like a comet, became a huge hit throughout Europe and stayed at number 1 in the official German charts for six weeks. With countless other unforgotten evergreens that are still sung and celebrated all over the world today, the singer and guitarist from England has won a very special place in the hearts of his fans. Thanks to his unmistakable voice, Chris Norman will prove that he can still touch millions of people today with his typical guitar rock and timeless hits as part of his major tour of Germany in April 2024, comprising a total of 11 dates in selected cities. Hits such as "Living Next Door To Alice", "I'll Meet You At Midnight" and "Lay Back In The Arms Of Someone" will be on the bill, as will "If You Think You Know How To Love Me" - his very first hit single.

His new album "Junction 55" will be released in February 2024. Chris Norman wrote the 12 brand new songs himself and together with various previous collaborators such as Pete Spencer, Geoff Carline and Mike Chapman. Like his earlier songs, the new tracks are the hallmark of a true singer/songwriter with timeless melodies and catchy harmonies. "Junction 55" has a special meaning for the singer: "The album title reflects the fact that I'm at a new point in my career - it's been 55 years since I became a professional musician."

Despite his incredibly successful career spanning many decades, the charismatic artist has lost none of his special charisma on stage, which could also be due to the fact that the still celebrated star was practically born into showbiz. He picked up his first guitar at the age of seven and, under the influence of various musical greats, Chris Norman developed his very own sound over time, which ultimately led to his big breakthrough in the 1980s and still forms the basis for his shows today.

Chris Norman undoubtedly belongs to a generation of musicians who regard the stage as their second home. The exceptional artist's concerts have always been a firework display of first-class rock music. Wherever Chris Norman is on the bill, fans are sure to get everything that makes a great Chris Norman concert: his unmistakable grating voice, soulful ballads and authentic, genuine rock. And in April 2024 at the latest, Chris Norman and his band will prove that they can still rock any stage and have mastered all the tricks of the rock'n'roll trade. The audience can look forward to a mixture of his own great solo hits, the new album tracks, but also his personal favorite songs and Smokie's most successful compositions.
