They released their debut album ‘Opel-Gang’ in 1983 and caused their first scandal in the same year when they filmed the music video for their single ‘Eisgekühlter Bommerlunder’ in the church of St Willibald in Jesenwang near Fürstenfeldbruck: a wild punk mass wedding with fights and drunken altar boys. The trousers repeatedly caused offence, but also campaigned against xenophobia and right-wing violence. In 2019, they received the DFB's Julius Hirsch Award for their commitment against anti-Semitism.
After a three-year break, Die Toten Hosen are now going on tour again and have announced: "We know that we're on the home straight with our career and that such tours have to come to an end at some point. That's why we want to hit the road again with old and new songs and play every night as if it were our last!" Does that already sound like a farewell tour? In any case, fans in Munich can look forward to a very special open-air location. Instead of the Olympic Stadium, which has been closed in 2026 due to renovation work, Die Toten Hosen will be performing at Hans-Jochen-Vogel-Square - formerly known as Coubertin Square, where some fantastic open-air concerts (Coldplay, Rosenstolz and Energy in the Park) have already taken place.
