Fools Garden is a German pop-rock band founded in 1991 in Pforzheim by vocalist Peter Freudenthaler and guitarist Volker Hinkel. Their 1995 single "Lemon Tree" topped the charts in Germany, Austria, Norway, Sweden, Ireland and Iceland, sold over six million copies worldwide and was translated into more than 40 languages - making it one of the rare genuine global hits to come out of Germany. The band has released nine studio albums and continues to tour, with Freudenthaler and Hinkel as its permanent core.
Fools Garden released a 30th-anniversary remastered edition of "Dish of the Day" on vinyl and CD via BMG Rights Management, including bonus tracks, demos and live recordings.
A 2025 remaster of "Lemon Tree" was released as an official audio single on YouTube on 30 October 2025.
A band biography was announced for release in the second half of 2025, covering anecdotes and experiences of Peter Freudenthaler and the band.
Fools Garden embarked on the "30 Jahre Dish of the Day" tour across Germany in early 2026, covering more than 15 dates from January to March.
Further Fools Garden concerts are scheduled through late 2026 and into 2027, including dates in Nordhorn, Renningen, Lindau and Pforzheim.
