"It was touring that really showed me what it all means and filled me with incredible pride. I would swap all my gold records and awards for this feeling in a heartbeat." In addition to the big "Augen träumen Herzen sehen" tour in November & December 2025, Kontra K has now also announced 4 summer Shows in Mönchengladbach, Emmendingen, Braunschweig and Bochum.
