He was one of the most successful German artists - and became one of the most controversial over the years. Xavier Naidoo, who became a superstar of the pop scene with songs such as ‘Nicht von dieser Welt’, ‘Sie sieht mich nicht’ and ‘Dieser Weg’ - before he attracted attention due to anti-Semitic remarks, his proximity to Reichsbürger and conspiracy ideology narratives. Now Xavier Naidoo is coming back to the Olympic Hall.

The Mannheim native celebrated his breakthrough in 1998 with his first number 1 album ‘Nicht von dieser Welt’. He also reached the top of the charts with ‘Zwischenspiel - Alles für den Herrn’ (2002), ‘Telegramm für X’ (2005) and ‘Alles kann besser werden’ (2009). From 2010 onwards, Naidoo lost himself in crude theories, calling Germany an occupied country, showing himself together with Reichsbürger and adopting conspiracy theories from the QAnon movement. He denied climate change as well as the Holocaust, which he called a ‘successful historical fiction’.

As the winner of the negative ‘Golden Aluhut’ award for right-wing esotericism and Reichsbürger ideology, he denied the existence of the Covid pandemic in 2020. In a video in 2022, he confessed to having ‘gone astray’ and been ‘blinded by conspiracy narratives’. He also declared that he distanced himself ‘from right-wing and conspiratorial groups’ and that he stood for tolerance and against homophobia and anti-Semitism. Naidoo will play in the Olympic Hall on 8 + 9 January 2026.

The Olympic Park Munich company expressly distances itself from the artist's statements. The OMG is committed to diversity and tolerance and condemns anti-Semitism, racism and homophobia.
