Arrest Warrant returns to the stage for three shows in 2026. After extremely short club appearances in 2025, the question arises: How will the tour go?
After the publication of the documentary “Babo – The Arrest Warrant Story” in October 2025 and his musical comeback with the song “Syndrome Stockholm”, Arrest Warrant is also about to make a tour comeback.
The rapper will return to the stages of Germany in 2026 and play three shows in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Berlin in September and October. Advance ticket sales are already in full swing on platforms such as Eventim, but a large part of the contingent has long been sold out. The gig in his hometown of Frankfurt in the Festhalle, for example, is almost completely sold out. But what can you expect from the shows?
What fans should expect
Many fans who have already purchased a ticket for the tour are likely to be looking forward to arrest warrant’s live comeback. But it’s difficult to estimate what to expect from a German rapper’s concert. He is sometimes considered unpredictable both in fan circles and within the industry. He has been struggling with health and consumption problems for years, which could also affect his live shows. Arrest Warrant has recently made no big secret about his problems: the Netflix documentary revealed more than ever before his addiction problem and also dealt with therapeutic measures. Because of these circumstances, performances have been shortened or canceled several times in the past. So also in the future?
Looking back to 2025
In 2025, arrest warrant celebrated a small stage comeback with club shows. But there was a catch: the appearances were very short. According to “Bild”, a performance in Gießen was over after 15 minutes, and another in Regensburg after 18 minutes.
The now 40-year-old also wore a mask when performing. His wife Nina Anhan also provided information about the mask in an interview with “Bild” in mid-December 2025. This is supposedly related to the rapper’s deformed nose, which was also seen in the documentary. In January 2026 he wants to undergo an operation to reconstruct it. Until then, according to his wife, he will feel more comfortable with a mask.
It is not entirely clear whether the artist is currently clean and in good health. At a performance in Osnabrück on November 14, 2025, he announced to his fans: “I’m clean!” “Bild” also reported on this. His wife Nina Anhan said in an interview with the newspaper: “I hope so. I wish it from the bottom of my heart. But you never know 100 percent. But I believe that he is serious.” There are currently no more recent statements from arrest warrant or his family.
