In the organizer's words:

With "TRACES", Michael Patrick Kelly opens a new chapter - both musically and thematically. The album sets true stories of courage, healing and hope to music and paints a deeply moving picture of humanity. The charismatic singer-songwriter with the unmistakable 4-octave voice combines pop, rock, folk and creates an intelligent genre crossover with elements of indie, Latin and gospel.

His album "TRACES" boasts top-class collaborations, for example with star tenor Jonas Kaufmann, the London Community Gospel Choir and arranger Will Malone. Produced at the legendary Air Studios in London and Hansa Studios in Berlin, "TRACES" follows on seamlessly from the huge success of its predecessor: five top 5 radio hits, over 400 million streams and half a million concertgoers.

After the overwhelming success of his last tour, where he thrilled more than 500,000 fans, Michael Patrick Kelly is continuing his live story: After the spring tour, he will be bringing his new songs to some of the country's most beautiful stages on the Traces Open Air Tour 2026.
