Wahnsinn! Die Show - The Best Wolfgang Petry Party Goes On

75 years of Wolle Petry - 50th stage anniversary
Wahnsinn - Die Show 2026
The big Wolfgang Petry birthday party - with all the hits!

This is probably the best news of the new year: the WAHNSINN goes on! "Wahnsinn - Die Show" returns to the stage in 2026 as a grand Wolfgang Petry birthday celebration. This is the year Wolle would have turned 75 and marked his 50th anniversary on stage. Even though he no longer performs himself, his fans have a fantastic time celebrating all his hits and earworms. "Wahnsinn - Die Show 2026" delivers not just a packed set of Wolfgang Petry hits, but a vivid journey back through his career - revisiting moving moments, entertaining stories and personal anecdotes. Now in its fifth edition, the show puts the music and original songs of this Schlager icon front and centre, celebrating his big birthday with classics like "Verlieben, verloren, vergessen, verzeihen", "Der Himmel brennt" and of course "Wahnsinn".

What fans love about this show is the feel of a real concert. The production picks up where Petry's celebrated "Einfach Geil" farewell tour left off in 1999, using video footage from that era to transport the audience straight back to the spirit of those days: feeling that energy one more time, singing along to every hit as if there were no tomorrow. Since the music legend has long since retired from live performing, the show gives fans a chance to relive his songs together.

The audience can look forward to a completely new stage production designed specifically for this anniversary tour. An outstanding band and brilliant soloists bring the Petry feeling authentically to life.
