In the organizer's words:

80 years of Olaf der Flipper - 65 years on stage - a tour full of gratitude, music and emotions.

Ex-professional tennis player, family man, cult figure in a red glitter jacket and above all: one of Germany's most successful and popular pop artists.

Olaf der Flipper celebrates his 80th birthday in March 2026 - and says "thank you" with an exclusive birthday tour that also honors his impressive life's work.

The career of Olaf Malolepski, as he is known in real life, is unique. As a member of the legendary Flippers, he has shaped generations of pop fans since the 1960s. Hits such as "Weine nicht kleine Eva", "Die rote Sonne von Barbados", "Lotusblume" and "Mona Lisa" have become immortal classics. Over 60 million records sold, more than 65 gold and platinum awards and over four decades of band history made "Die Flippers" the most commercially successful band in Germany.

After the band's departure in 2011, it was immediately clear to Olaf the Flipper that the stage would remain his home. He hit the ground running as a solo artist - his first album achieved gold status. By 2022 at the latest, when the song "Wir sagen Dankeschön - 40 Jahre die Flippers" went viral and catapulted him to the Ballermann and the biggest festival stages in Germany, such as Rock am Ring or the Parookaville Festival, it was clear: Olaf the Flipper is cult and connects generations with his likeable nature and his music.

He even inspires internationally: in 2025, he landed in the British top 10 of the iTunes charts with Vincent Gross and the song "Drinking wine feeling fine" and became our export hit at the BBC Radio Festival in front of 20,000 Brits.

Olaf der Flipper is and remains a thoroughbred musician who constantly reinvents himself without forgetting his roots.

It is precisely with this musical mix that he will inspire young and old, long-time and new fans on his birthday tour in September 2026 and invite them to sway, dance and sing along. The Magdeburg native will traditionally be musically supported by his daughter Pia Malo at the eleven concerts.

Modesty, family support and his friends, the dear fans, are Olaf the pinball machine's recipe for success: "I'm thrilled. I'm lost for words that the fans are still so welcoming and want to see me after so many years! I can only say thank you! Simply world class!"

Olaf der Flipper - Birthday Tour 2026. An evening full of music, memories and emotions. A celebration for all fans.
