For over a week now, Die Ärzte have been playing a series of concerts in the German capital – after nine years of not having been on a Berlin stage. Starting on May 7th in the super small location “Schokoladen” (130 fans), their “Berlin Tour MMXXII” also takes Die Ärzte to SO36 (850 fans) and the Columbiahalle (3500 fans). A stark contrast to the stadium tour beginning in June, where the band will again play in front of tens of thousands. In addition to the particularly intimate atmosphere, the band hopes that the campaign will also support the small concert locations that have been badly hit by the corona pandemic and the employees of the art and culture scene.
