It was only in November 2023 that Devendra Banhart presented the songs from his current album “Flying Wig” in Germany. The show in the capital was sold out, Banhart and the band were in a very good mood and the applause was persistent. So it’s no surprise that the American-Venezuelan singer/songwriter is ready for second helpings in the not-too-distant future.
In August 2024 he will come back to Germany for three gigs – ROLLING STONE presents. It starts on August 5th in Berlin’s Theater des Westens, followed by a show in Munich at Neue Theaterfabrik and the finale will then take place at the Haldern Pop Festival on August 9th, hopefully in the best open-air weather.

More about Devendra Banhart:
Devendra Banhart was born in Houston, Texas and moved with his mother to her native Caracas, Venezuela when his parents separated. During his teenage years, the family moved to Los Angeles, where he learned the English language and discovered his love for skateboarding and playing music. He completed his first live performances during his time at the San Francisco Art Institute. Since then, Banhart has lived in New York City, Paris, San Francisco and again Los Angeles, where he still lives today.
Banhart first gained international attention with the release of his debut album, Oh Me Oh My…The Way the Day Goes By the Sun Is Setting Dogs Are Dreaming Lovesongs of the Christmas Spirit (2002) – a collection of songs he recorded for himself had. Other albums included “Rejoicing in the Hands” (2004), “Niño Rojo” (2004), “Cripple Crow” (2005), “Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon” (2007) and “What Will We Be” (2009). ). “Mala,” his 2013 debut album on Nonesuch Records, was described by Q as “the best of his career,” and the Wall Street Journal called it “his most concise, gentle and winning work to date.”
Banhart has collaborated with colleagues such as Anohni (formerly Antony) and the Johnsons, Beck, Vashti Bunyan, Os Mutations and Vetiver. He also performed with Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso and was part of a concert curated by David Byrne at New York’s Carnegie Hall. He is also successful as a visual artist. His distinctive, meticulously colored and often mysterious drawings have been exhibited in galleries around the world, including the Art Basel Contemporary Art Fair in Miami, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels and the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art.
