RAINHARD FENDRICH – 45 JAHRE LIVE

RAINHARD FENDRICH - 45 YEARS LIVE

2025 will be a very special year for RAINHARD FENDRICH: On February 27, the music legend celebrates his 70th birthday and also his 45th stage anniversary! The Austrian is giving himself the best present for these two occasions with the upcoming studio album "Wimpernschlag" and a big live comeback! Fans can look forward to both brand new music and a joint musical concert tour through more than four decades of his artistic career, which will then take the singer-songwriter and his band on their anniversary tour "45 Years Rainhard Fendrich Live - Nur ein Wimpernschlag" through Germany, Austria and Switzerland from April 2025.

Rainhard Fendrich recently returned to the charts with the release of his live album "Symphonisch in Schönbrunn" and at the same time announced a new studio album entitled "Wimpernschlag" for early 2025, a good six years after his last studio album "Starkregen" and in time for his 45th stage anniversary. Now the Viennese hit-maker is coming up with another bang: this release will be accompanied by an extensive anniversary tour entitled "45 Jahre Rainhard Fendrich Live - Nur ein Wimpernschlag". Fans can look forward to unforgettable concerts, the as yet unknown songs from the new album as well as Fendrich's greatest hits and cult songs from his 45-year career such as "Tango Korrupti", "Macho Macho", "Es lebe der Sport", "Weus'd a Herz hast wia a Bergwerk" and many more!

Rainhard Fendrich has achieved everything there is to achieve - especially in his native Austria: He has released countless number 1 albums, was the first pop artist to open the Vienna Festival and twice had the opportunity to play concerts with a classical symphony orchestra. Countless of his songs have become evergreens that are now almost folk songs, and his song "I Am From Austria" is regarded as Austria's secret national anthem.

Fendrich does not see himself as a legend, but simply as a singer-songwriter. The exceptional artist has a 45-year career behind him. He no longer has to prove anything to himself and this certainty gives him the freedom to devote himself completely unconstrained and with inexhaustible energy to exactly what fulfills him the most: forming his thoughts into songs and presenting these songs live in front of an audience!

The songs on the new album will once again be an impressive mixture of catchy melodies and profound, thoughtful lyrics, sometimes paired with a humorous wink. Fendrich is and remains Fendrich - an astute observer and chronicler of his time, who focuses his attention lyrically and musically on the essentials. But "Wimpernschlag" is also a very personal retrospective: Rainhard Fendrich looks back on the stages of his life, provides insights into his childhood and youth and takes stock. Being young again today? No, certainly not. His focus is on the here and now.
