Michael Krebs - OPTIMISMUS - Jetzt stark reduziert!

For over 20 years, Michael Krebs has been winning audiences over with groovy, musically rich songs and sharp, witty lyrics. Watching him take the stage - open, direct, quick with a comeback - puts a wide grin on your face and makes one thing clear: live performance is where he belongs.

But even this notoriously upbeat guy at the piano has started to have doubts. Is his once-celebrated authenticity still bearable in the age of survival-of-the-fakest? Why does the word "problem area" make everyone think of belly, thighs and backside - and nobody thinks of the brain? Where do you emigrate when the far right is already everywhere? And above all: is the future even a solution anymore?

Luckily, with attention spans shredded by TikTok, nobody expects answers to questions this complex. Maybe Michael Krebs will give some anyway. As long as we can laugh at ourselves together, doom and gloom is off the table. You don't need to be the brightest light in the darknet to figure that out.

"I no longer believe in humanity, but I still believe in humaneness," says Michael Krebs. His concerts don't let you forget the world outside for two hours. They do something better: they let you see that world through different eyes. And that feels good - so good that you have to exaggerate just to stay honest.
