'Im Schutz der Nacht Tour 2026'
"Tell me how to endure eighty winters. I'll open the door again only when spring arrives and slams it shut."
OTTOLIEN return after a successful tour and releases in 2025 with the announcement of their second "Im Schutz der Nacht" tour. In October 2026, the indie pop duo will perform in six cities. A special highlight is the preceding open-air show in Hannover as part of Sommernächte in the garden theatre of Herrenhäuser Gärten on 08.08.26. Here, radical tenderness will be celebrated again in a spectacular setting.

Following their debut album 'WIR TUN UNS SO GUT WEH' (2023) and second album 'Bleib Lieb' (2025), the brother duo has firmly established itself in the German-language indie scene. Numerous festival appearances at Southside Festival, Reeperbahn Festival, c/o pop Festival, Nürnberg Pop, Blaumachen and KiezKultur Festival, support shows for soffie, Michél von Wussow, error and Trille, plus multiple home shows at the always-packed Musikzentrum Hannover: OTTOLIEN are stronger than ever and want more. More conviction, more emotion, beyond genre boundaries.

Just under a year after releasing their latest album 'Bleib Lieb', they are once again deep in the creative process and actively releasing new songs. Such as the new single 'Stark', for which they enlisted interdisciplinary support: together with artist and author Tschief, a spontaneous session produces a song about winter depression, fragile hope, and longing for the moment when spring finally "slams the door". Between broken hearts, last reserves of strength and stable ground, the three write an honest hymn to their own vulnerability - and to the courage of self-love. Musically, it remains quintessentially OTTOLIEN: direct lyrics, emotional imagery, and an atmosphere between melancholy and uprising.
